Hi,

I receive an error during flashing of the Drive AGX Orin board with Drive OS 6.0.6.

Target HW: Drive AGX Orin
Platform: p3710
Drive OS: Drive OS 6.0.6
SDK manager: 1.9.2.10889 x86_64
Host PC: Ubuntu 20.04

I tried to flash the board in recovery mode. Because only in recovery mode both usb ports are available by the host os (checked with lsusb).

I also tried to fix the flash error how it is described here (which worked at least for the Drive OS 6.0.5)

Please see the detailed log here:
driveinstaller.log (73.7 KB)

Thank you in advance.

Dear @madison_de,
Did you put the board in recovery before try flashing using sdkmanager? If so, please keep the board in normal mode and check flashing with sdkmanager.
Also, the error seems to be different from what noticed in SDK manager flash failed

Could you attach ~/.nvsdkm/ logs and ~/.nvsdkm/sdkm*.log files as well

I have found the error messages in your driveinstaller.log and will discuss this issue with our team.

In the meantime, please refer to the following Install DRIVE OS Linux Docker Containers from NGC | NVIDIA Docs and try to flash with docker container.

Additionally, could you please provide us with some background information about the devkit? Has anyone been able to successfully flash it before?

Yes, I was able to flash the Drive OS 6.0.5 with help of the solution of this post:

Means, I renamed drive-foundation/tools/flashtools/bootburn_t23x_py/rcm_state to drive-foundation/tools/flashtools/bootburn_t23x_py/rcm_state.bck and flashing the dev-kit was successful.

Dear @madison_de,
So you can flash DRIVE OS 6.0.5 now and failed to flash DRIVE OS 6.0.6 using sdkmanager?

11

Yes, exactly.

12

Dear @madison_de,
What is the DRIVE OS version on target before flashing DRIVE OS 6.0.5?

13

Dear @madison_de,
In the log, we could see the following error:

[2023-05-03 14:00:42,489 root DEBUG utilities.py 294 28232] make/Makefile.bind:50: *** **CROSS_COMPILE is not defined**!. Stop.

The error is caused by nv-driveos-foundation-gcc-* residue packages left on the system before installing with SDKM.
Could you check the below

  1. Uninstall build with SDKM on host
  2. Make sure ā€œdpkg -l | grep driveosā€ output is empty on host.
  3. Reinstall with SDKM on host and flash the target.
14

Hi @SivaRamaKrishnaNV,
I uninstalled the sdkmanager with the command: sudo apt purge sdkmanager
Afterwards I checked if the ouput of ā€œdpkg -l | grep driveosā€ is empty. But it isnĀ“t empty at all.
Please see here the output of the console:

How can I remove all that files?

15

It seems that @SivaRamaKrishnaNV recommended that you use sdkmanager to uninstall your current DRIVE OS, instead of uninstalling sdkmanager.

Also, does installing DRIVE OS 6.0.6 with the docker container work on the devkit?

Hi @SivaRamaKrishnaNV @VickNV,
I used the sdkmanager to uninstall the Drive OS 6.0.5. Additionaly, I uninstalled the sdkmanger itself (but iĀ“m not sure if necessary)
Afterwards I installed the sdkmanager again and the Drive OS 6.0.6. Now the flashing of the Drive OS 6.0.6 has been finished successfully.
Thank you for your support. You can close the ticket.
