Serial output unter bootin

Attempted to run SDK Manager but its requirements allude me running only Opensuse, Fedora, and POP I have been thwarted. I guess it’s time to just return the brick? Your system is very un-flexable and every step difficult. I thought I would use this platform as a first step but it seems like the wrong step. I may look into the docker but I have no experience with that and found your instructions useless. Thanks I guess.

ok
went ahead and installed ubntu 18 and got sdk rolling but I cannot get this thing in recovery mode.
set for barrel jack power short buttons on 3/4 4/5 power on holding 3/4 cycle 4/5 and nothing except for the light resets.

4

Please check quick start guide for how to set device into recovery mode.

actually yes it was 9/10 7/8 didn’t see the 1 at the opposite end where the leds are plugged from the pc button set. Went by the screen prints.

Still no luck.

Hi,

If the recovery pin is 9/10 on your board, it should be B01 carrier board.
The steps should be

  1. Plug the power jack so the Led should light up.
  2. Jumper → 9/10 and hold
  3. Jumper → 7/8 → this will reset the board, so LED will blink for a second
  4. Remove jumper on 7/8
  5. Remove jumper on 9/10

How did you know you fail to enter recovery mode?

ok I have movement. I swapped the usb to another socket on the second usb controller on my pc and it showed up. This was after sitting for a bit in recovery. funny thing is it was there previously.

Please directly go to Linux_for_Tegra on your host and use flash.sh to flash your board.

The quick start guide I posted earlier has some guidance of how to run flash.sh.

It will tell us whether the flash process is done quickly.

10

The difference is flash.sh only install the OS while the sdkmanager will do both installing OS and all other SDK.

Since we are dealing with system side issue now, we should have quick check on system issue first. Those SDK can be installed later.

11

Is this bad? Cant imagine the flash is progressing.

Arrrg Yes

Instated to bare metal now and progressed further. Nano boots to desktop now

Thanks for the help WayneWWW!

However my PC system seems very unstable under Ubuntu 18.4 unless it is the nano software. Whole system crash if the screen times out to turn off on or if I try to go into settings to turn off the timer. I had to sit and bump the mouse every now and than to make sure I would not crash out mid process.

14

infuriating little piece!

15

Just going to name this thing crash. Cant seem to update without having to start over with a new flash install. Is it normal for the things to fail during apt upgrade?

16

No, this is not normal. Always share us a log so we can see what’s going on.

17

I think I figured it out. The 64gb Samsun evo sd cards I was attempting to use were getting very hot. Not up to the long write times? I Switched over to a kown good 32gb Sandisk and things seem stable since.

Again I do appreciate the help.
