Hi
I cant flash new Orin Nano devkit with SD 32GB in Nvidia carrierboard - get an “Error: Return value 4”
Cant find any info about this error.

Conditions:
-Host PC x86 Ubuntu 22
-no SSD in carrierboard
-SD card 32GB
-use NVIDIA Jetson Linux 35.4.1

Try:

$ tar xf ${L4T_RELEASE_PACKAGE} (Driver Package (BSP))
$ cd Linux_for_Tegra/rootfs/
$ sudo tar xpf ../../${SAMPLE_FS_PACKAGE} (Sample Root Filesystem)
$ nano ./bootloader/t186ref/BCT/tegra234-mb2-bct-misc-p3767-0000.dts

change - cvb_eeprom_read_size = <0x100> to + cvb_eeprom_read_size = <0x0>
because want after to use Orin Nano in other custom carrierboard withou eeprom as discribed

$ sudo ./apply_binaries.sh with success
$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0955:7523 NVIDIA Corp. APX
$ sudo ./flash.sh jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

as described

Result is

Error: Return value 4
Command tegraparser_v2 --storageinfo storage_info.bin --generategpt --pt flash.xml.bin
Failed flashing t186ref.

You don’t need to disable cvb eeprom for orin nano devkit…

Also, try this

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device mmcblk1p1
-c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml -p “-c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml”
–showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

But I will use the Orin Nano in other custom carrierboard without eeprom memory on it.
Before I test it in custom carrierboard with Nvidia image for SD and get error:

I> Task: Prepare eeprom data (0x50017bd8)
E> I2C: slave not found in slaves.
E> I2C: Could not write 0 bytes to slave: 0x00ae with repeat start true.
E> I2C_DEV: Failed to send register address 0x00000000.
E> I2C_DEV: Could not read 256 registers of size 1 from slave 0xae at 0x00000000 via instance 0.

E> Top caller module: I2C_DEV, error module: I2C, reason: 0x0d, aux_info: 0x05

So need to edit file as in Jetson Orin NX and Nano Series — Jetson Linux Developer Guide documentation

Then you can do it when you use custom carrier board…
There is no need to do that when it is devkit.

But I have not USB Recovery capability in custom carrierboard,
So want to flash firmware in original carrierboard and then replace Orin Nano in custom carrierboard.

Or may be I can edit cvb_eeprom_read_size after flashing?

7

You can try my previous comment with initrd flash tool first. Keep cvb eeprom as disabled.

I tried it, it flashes 3 times automatically.
After reboot Nano work normally.
Result is with success?

No, it didn’t succeed.

Your flash command seem wrong too.
