Can't able to instal Jetpack 4.4.1 in Xavier AGX

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson AGX Xavier

I have followed all the instructions that are described in JETSON AGX XAVIER DEVELOPER KIT USER Guide.

  1. Connected the AGX (USB 3.1 type C port near the power button) with Host computer (USB type A)
  2. Pressed Recovery Button and Power Button to keep the AGX in Force Recovery Mode (But I can’t able to see any light blink)
  3. When I try to install from the SDK manager the SDK manager couldn’t able to detect the Target Hardware
  4. When I tried to run from the source file using below command, I am getting error.

Give me a solution to update the jetpack from current 4.3 to 4.4.1.

Having just been through this. I did it through Virtual Box by necessity (not a supported option, but it worked for me on a Macbook Pro), and got it to work by capturing the USB using a filter, and using the command line option to do the actual flashing. Once the filter was set up, I was able to see the Jetson in the SDKManager. I tried flashing using the SDKManager UI, but it would hang at 99.x% so I tried the command line option as suggested in a post, and it finally worked. Good luck!!!

If either of these occurred, then recovery mode should work:

  • Hold recovery button while powering up, then let go of recovery button.
  • Hold recovery button while power is cycled, then let go of recovery button.

@brbl mentioned a VM. If you are using a VM, then you’d have to make sure the VM actually gets the USB and the host o/s is not stealing the USB device. Are you using a VM?

If no VM, then the USB-C connector near the buttons should work as expected when plugged in to a host PC’s USB.
