Copy And Flash Jetson Orin with Jetpack 6.2

[1737]

Hi,

I want to clone a Jetson Orin running jetpack 6.2 with ubuntu 22.04 and flash it into a second Orin that currently has Jetpack 5.1.1 with Ubuntu 20.04.

Is the best way to do this by using the following commands, as described in the
NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide
?

$ sudo ./flash.sh -r -k APP -G mmcblk0p1
$ sudo cp .img bootloader/system.img
$ sudo ./flash.sh -r mmcblk0p1

I’m having some issues with the virtual machine where I installed the SDK Manager — it keeps freezing. I usually used it to copy and flash succesfully the Orin with JetPack 5.1.1.

Also, I want to point out that I’m running these commands from the directory created by SDK Manager:
nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_6.2_Linux_JETSON_AGX_ORIN_TARGETS/Linux_for_Tegra.

Is this correct? Does it make sense?

Thanks for your supports.

Hi,

What do you mean to do below commands?

@1737

$ sudo cp .img bootloader/system.img

Do you want to copy the rootfs to second AGX Orin or other Orin ?

Thanks

Sorry, I didn’t explain clearly. These are the commands I used:

1. I create a copy of the image from the first Orin (‘copied_system.img’) that I want to clone:

   $ sudo ./flash.sh -r -k APP -G copied_system.img jetson-agx-orin-devkit mmcblk0p1

2. I overwrite the copied image to the image in the bootloader folder:

   $ sudo cp copied_system.img bootloader/system.img

3. I flash the second Orin.

   $ sudo ./flash.sh -r jetson-agx-orin-devkit mmcblk0p1

Are these commands correct to make an exact copy of the first Orin onto the second?

Thanks

Hi,

I would like to know your use case in detail.

Do you have some data or application in your JP 6.2 device, so you want to clone it to other device?
If yes, you could refer to the Flashing Support — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide to backup the current JP 6.2 image and restore to other device.

Please refer README_backup_restore.txt section Workflow 3: To massflash the backup image also.

Thanks
