I’m trying to downgrade from Drive OS 5.2.0.0 to Drive OS 5.1.15.0. Using the SDK Manager docker image to do
docker run -it sdkmanager --cli downloadonly --logintype devzone --product DRIVE --host --target E3550 --targetos Linux --version OS_5.1.15.0_SDK --flash skip
which results in

Waiting for user information from NVIDIA authentication server...

DRIVE version 5.1.15.0 SDK does not support Linux target OS on E3550
Available options are:

 DRIVE 5.2.0.0
sdkmanager --cli install --logintype devzone --product DRIVE --version OS_5.2.0.0_SDK --targetos Linux --host --target E3550 --flash all --additionalsdk OpenDDS --additionalsdk 'ROS Example'

 DRIVE 5.1.6.1
sdkmanager --cli install --logintype devzone --product DRIVE --version OS_5.1.6.1_SDK --targetos Linux --host --target E3550 --flash all`

The Update Matrix shows 5.2.0->5.1.15 as a valid downgrade path. What am I missing to make this work?

Hi @Michael_L ,

DRIVE OS 5.1.15 isn’t available on devzone so I don’t think you can install it via devzone.
All versions available on devzone are listed in https://developer.nvidia.com/drive/downloads. Thanks.

Thanks for the response @VickNV.

How would I get access? I assume using --logintype nvonline, but I don’t have access to any DRIVE AGX SDKs using that method.

May I know why you need to downgrade to DRIVE OS 5.1.15? Anything is missing in 5.2.0? Thanks.
You may need to contact with your nvidia representive for accessing things beyond devzone.

A customer is using 5.1.12 and provided binaries that I can’t get to work with the API changes in 5.2.0. Since the downgrade from 5.2.0->5.1.12 is apparently not supported, it seems I need to flash 5.1.15 first.

I just got an nvidia contact to try, so I’ll follow up with him. Thanks for your help pointing me in the right direction.
