I noticed the following messages in your driveinstaller.log file. It appears that the flash process did not even start.
Just to confirm, your devkit is still capable of powering on and running with DRIVE OS 6.0.5, is that correct?

The 1st time, before I flash with SDK, I can login to DriveOS 6.0.5. from ssh or /dev/ttyACM0.
after it failed. /dev/ttyACM0 no output, normally it will print kernel boot log.
/dev/ttyACM1 works, but Cann’t enter recovery mode.

from the log you posted. I found the same failure, check the last line.

It seems like the system is currently unusable, is that correct? Our team is actively investigating the issue and we will provide an update as soon as possible.

you are right. this system is unusable. we are currently using another drive orin to test 6.0.6 system hang issue.
and that system was upgraded from 6.0.5 to 6.0.6 with SDKManager 1.9.2.10884. it went smoothly.

Please provide the part number and the serial number of the devkit. Thanks.

Hi I can’t find any label or number on the device. from log, I can found a BOARD SKU : 940-63710-0010-B00. I’m not sure if this help.
I tried run aurixreset. I can boot to 6.0.5, and login to ubuntu now.
and previous error gone. but flash failed.

It appears that the installation process might have been disrupted during the apt-get install. Have you tried using the same host system that was able to successfully flash DRIVE OS 6.0.6 for other devkits? Alternatively, you can try using the Docker container method outlined in the guide.

Do you have any insights into why tegrareset is now working?

that host is not physically located in my office.
I will try to reinstall everything.

After I ran this command, then it went back to normal

sudo minicom -w -D /dev/ttyACM1
aurixreset

Weren’t you previously unable to manually enter the system’s recovery mode as following log?

I always got following error before, and ubuntu not boot. no output on /dev/ttyACM0

NvShell>tegrarecovery x1 on
Info: Executing cmd: tegrarecovery, argc: 2, args: x1 on
Command Executed
NvShell>tegrareset x1
Info: Executing cmd: tegrareset, argc: 1, args: x1
NvShell>ERROR: MCU_PLTFPWRMGR: Tegra Reset Request failed - Preconditons not met

after I typed aurixreset it went normal. and ubuntu can boot.

BTW: is there a command I can force sdkmanager redownload, and reinstall everything?

I would recommend flashing the devkit using the Docker container method, which will allow you to avoid any potential host system issues.
