Hello, I have a P3541 with a P3448 module with eMMc 16GB memory. I tried to flash it using the SDK Manager with a native Ubuntu 18.04 host machine but was not able to.
I will first describe how I tried to flash it to see if there is some mistake I haven’t seen.
I put it in recovery mode by jumping the FC REC ad GND pins and connect the board via de usb port. Then I power it using the usb C cable. The SDK Manager recognizes that the board is in recovery mode and gives me 3 options to choose. I choose the 2GB Devkit version and try to do the manual configuration (I then put the user and password I wanna use). Then I continue. The software starts flashing and it says its completed, now I have to set up my IP from the jetson Nano to finish the SDK components installation. I disconnect the jumper and try to boot it up but it freezes in the nvidia logo. Now I’m stuck.
Some context
That is the main problem, I will try to make some clarifications of how I ended up in this situation.
I bought two boards from the same supplier. They came with the OS already installed but at first I didn’t realize it, so I tried to flash the first one and it stayed like this. Then I realized the second one did boot and started using it. I tried to install openCV with CUDA support and seems I rewrote some system configurations because when I rebooted it it also stayed like this. I know the second one may be corrupted, but why does the first one not work? I tried to follow all the steps and even installed ubuntu 18.04 on an old machine to run the SDK Manager. What seems weird is that in the application, the SDK Manager tells me the flash was successful, it doesn’t give me any error messages.
Some information that may be relevant:
The usb manager in ubuntu says it is type 2 when I connect it.
I’m not running in a VM
I have an eMMC memory, not SD card.
I can’t see the board as an USB when I connect it to my computer, jumper or not.
I tried installing both the jetson nano and devkit (not 2Gb) versions just in case.
