Convert the backup image to a nvme loadable image

Hi Team,

We could create a Production image which is around 21GB. The Production image is created in the tools/backup/image folder and looks like:
-rw-r–r-- 1 satyak satyak 67108864 Jan 10 17:55 QSPI0.img
-rw-r–r-- 1 satyak satyak 20480 Jan 10 17:55 gptmbr.img

Also there is a command: sudo ./tools/backup_restore/l4t_backup_restore.sh -e nvme0n1 -r jetson-orin-nano-devkit → to flash this image on a custom board.

Is there any method to convert the image contents into a different format so as to load the image into the custom board without maintaining the complete SDK and also sharing the image as a single content instead of the content folder shown above.

For ex: an iso or a sd card based image. similar image format based content to be shared for a nvme flashing.

Thanks,
Satya.

Hi satya.k,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for Orin Nano?
What’s the Jetpack version in use?

Sorry that l4t_backup_restore.sh would need all .img files you listed and related flash tools.
You can just package the required images and flash tools.

Hi Kevin,

Jetson Orin Nano Custom Board is being used.
Jetpack 6 is in use.

5

Are you using JP6.0 or 6.1 or 6.2?

Please just package the required images and tools for l4t_backup_restore.sh in this use case.

6

JP 6.0 with 36.3 is used for the Jetson Orin Nano Custom Board.

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue anymore.
Hence, we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks

Is this still an issue to support? Any result can be shared?
