Hello, I’d like to flash the firmware for DRIVE AGX.
I’ve used SDK Manager and followed the step.
When I tried STEP3, SDK Manager showed below error.

Bind partitions failed !

How can I fix the problem ? thanks.

Hi Masayuki.x.Kamoda,
in the pdkinstaller.log file the error shows:
/bin/sh: 1: cpio: not found
So, it seems that, for a strange reason, your system does not have cpio installed that is installed by default. please try and run:
apt-get install -y cpio

and try flashing again.

Hi shayNV,
I have executed the suggested commands.
But the Flash failed again. The log will be attached to this post.

EDIT:
in the NV_FLASH_XAVIER_PDKFLASH_PARALLEL_COMP.log file the log:

Tool OutPut:
USB communication failed.Check if device is in recovery
Tool OutPut to stderr:
USB communication failed.Check if device is in recovery
error-boot-failed

I suspect, that there is a hardware problem?

Hi Masayuki.Kamoda,

It seems the binding was successfully done in the new logs you have uploaded.

But now, it seems you have a problem running the built-in Linux dumping tool “dmidecode” and the device managing tool “udev”(missing install of “udevadm”) tool and “bc” .
you can see it by all the “___ : command not found” messages in the sdkm.log file.
that is strange your system does not have them by default.
to install them use apt-get install

I suspect your system is corrupted, and you probably will get some more errors like that along the way.
Please consider trying and re-run the whole process again on a freshly installed computer and update here if this is resolved.

Hi shayNV,

I try to resolve the “___: command not found” message.
It may be because the setup in SDKM was done in Docker container.

Thanks for the quick response

Hi Masayuki.Kamoda,
currently, NVIDIA supports running SDK Manager on Ubuntu 18.04 natively.

please install and use SDK Manager on a native Ubuntu OS.

Hi shayNV,

Are there plans to support Docker environments in the future?

Hi Masayuki.Kamoda,
yes, probably next version of SDKManager, or the one after that.
