Cloning Xavier with Jetpack 4.2

Hello,

is it possible to clone (make a backup image) a Xavier with the latest Jetpack?
The flash.sh wasn´t working in the older version.

If it is still not possible, are there plans to be available in future?

Thank you very much

Hi jonny21,

A workaround is to modify the flash script as below patch.

diff --git a/flash.sh b/flash.sh
index 5242a68..d21d7ca 100755
--- a/flash.sh
+++ b/flash.sh
@@ -2049,7 +2049,7 @@ if [ "${target_partname}" != "" ]; then

        fi

        FLASHARGS+="--cfg  ${localcfgfile} ${BINSARGS} ";
        FLASHARGS+=" --cmd \"";
        FLASHARGS+="${pre_cmds}";

Thank you!
I flashed a second Xavier with the newly created Image (tried the normal and the raw one). The Xavier does not boot up anymore (see picture).

Do you have any advices for another workaround?

Were both Xaviers flashed with the same release prior to putting the clone from one into the other? FYI, release versions have to match.
