Emulate AGX ORIN to NANO without data loss

Hi,

I have a working AGX Orin (flashed SSD) and its configured to run our stack. I would like to test our stack by emulating AGX Orin as Nano.

I saw this blog on how to do the emulation. Will I loose my setup and installed software after carrying out the emulation?

Thanks,

Best,

Hi,
If the device cannot be flashed/booted, please refer to the page to get uart log from the device:
Jetson/General debug - eLinux.org
And get logs of host PC and Jetson device for reference. If you are using custom board, you can compare uart log of developer kit and custom board to get more information.
Also please check FAQs:
Jetson AGX Orin FAQ
If possible, we would suggest follow quick start in developer guide to re-flash the system:
Quick Start — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation
And see if the issue still persists on a clean-flashed system.
Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I’m not sure if that answers my question.

I would like to know if emulation by reflashing will loose the existing software and installations in the Jetson.

Thanks,

Hi amu459,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for AGX Orin?
What’s the Jetpack version in use?

Which Orin Nano module do you want to test? (i.e. which SKU?)

Yes, flashing will format and re-partition your disk.

Hi @KevinFFF,

Thanks for the reply.

We have the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit with Jetpack 6.0. We would like to test Jetson Orin Nano 8 GB/4GB.

If I set aside my current SSD and use a new one for emulation, can I confirm that reinstalling the old SSD will restore everything as it was?

Best,

It depends on where’s your application.
You can try that use case but we’ve not verified it.

Do you have only one AGX Orin devkit?

I remember flashing the SSD with jetpack and not the default 64GB storage.

Yes, we have only one.

Okay, I think you can remove the previous NVMe SSD which includes your data.
And, just refer to the link you referred to flash internal eMMC on the board with other board config for emulation.
After you finished the test, please flash the board back to original state and connect the NVMe SSD.

Thanks @KevinFFF

I will close the issue for now. I will re-open if incase I face any issue later.
