Hi,

I am trying to flash DriveOS 9.0 to Drive AGX Development Kit, but the following error occurs:

Please find the log files (as suggested in DRIVE AGX Developer Kit Flashing Technical Bulletin for DriveOS 9.0) attached in the previous posting.

Hi rsn,

Please try with the workaround mentioned in https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1070169/general/flashing-error-could-not-execute-command-tegrareset-x1-h/post/5421889/#5421889 and see if it helps on your case. Thanks!

Hi,

I increased “l_readAttempts” to 10000, but still the same error occurs:

Please give us more background of this dev kit. Have you ever installed DRIVE Software 9.0 successfully? Wy don’t you install DRIVE Software 10.0? Have you ever installed DRIVE Software 10.0 on it?

No, it is a brand-new board and I never installed Drive Software 9.0 successfully (and it is the only software I have ever tried to install on this board). I have to stick to version 9.0 to be consistent within the project with other colleagues.

Hi rupert.schorn,

I’ll check internally and get back to you here.

Hi rupert.schorn,

just to make sure, are you able to open a minicom connection to Aurix?
and are you able to execute the command “tegrarecovery x1 on” ?

Hi,

yes I am able to connect to the Aurix and execute the “tegrarecovery x1 on” command:

shell> tegrarecovery x1 on
Info: Executing cmd: tegrarecovery, argc: 2, args: x1 on

I assume you modified ~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/DRIVE_Software_9.0_Linux_hyperion_E3550/DriveSDK/drive-t186ref-foundation/tools/host/flashtools/bootburn_t19x/bootburn.sh and then re-ran SDK Manager to install.
Could you try with changing “sleep 1” to “sleep 5” instead of changing l_readAttempts?

function ExecuteAurixCommand()
{
...
    local l_readAttempts=10
    local l_checkError=

/Failed to get Tegra instance.

BTW, may I know if with the default image the dev kit can boot up successfully?

Hi,

yes, the boot kit boots up successfully with the default image.

Increasing “sleep 1” to “sleep 5” did not help, still the same error occurs:

Could you help associate the usb bus:device with the Tegra Instance. To do this we open up a serial communication to Aurix (/dev/ttyUSB3) and then execute the commands:

tegrarecovery x1 on
tegrareset x1
tegrarecovery x2 on
tegrareset x2

In another terminal we do the following:

lsusb -d 0955:

and see something similar to

Bus 002 Device 116: ID 0955:7019 NVidia Corp.
Bus 002 Device 117: ID 0955:7019 NVidia Corp.

Does everything look normal on your side? Thanks!

Output looks normal:

We are still discussing how to further clarify your issue internally.

At the same time, could you have a try of installing DRIVE Software 10.0 to see if the same issue? If yes, we can also check people’s experience in DRIVE Software 10.0. If not, we can focus on related fix in DRIVE Software 10.0. BTW, installing DRIVE Software 10.0 needs ubuntu 18.04 host.

also would like to know if the SDK Manager ran on virtualization solftware or on ubuntu 16.04 natively?

SDK manager ran on ubuntu 16.04 natively.

Hi,

installing Drive SW 10 was successful.

Thanks for providing the result of DRIVE Software 10.0 installation!

For DRIVE Software 9.0 installation, could you remove ,“-x %s” of related/all board configurations in ~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/DRIVE_Software_9.0_Linux_hyperion_E3550/DriveSDK/pdkinstaller/manifests/flash_pdk_config/flash_config.json (as below) and then install with SDK Manager? Thanks!

    ]
  },


}

Can I install DRIVE Software 9.0 if version 10.0 is already installed?

Can I install DRIVE Software 9.0 with Ubuntu 18.04 on the host machine?
