Fail to flash jetson orin nano developer kit with NVMe

feicccccccc · January 18, 2025, 12:14pm

Hi All,

I am trying to flash my jetson orin nano with SDKManager. It is successful on the SD card, but fail on the NVMe drive.

I followed this post and try

Flash with different USB port
remove /etc/exports on your host
remove ~/.nvsdkm/
Format the drive to ext4 (with successfully flashed SD card image, able to mount the drive)
But all methods fail.

The error stuck at rpcbind

Attached with the log of the SDKManager with the latest version.

SDKM_logs_JetPack_6.2_Linux_for_Jetson_Orin_Nano_[8GB_developer_kit_version]_2025-01-18_19-11-07.zip (1.6 MB)

Please kindly advise.

My thoughts are toss that NVMe in the trash and get another one.

Not sure how the permissions would be incorrect or the image would have been corrupted.

At this point it is much faster to test another drive and eliminate hardware. Also, completely wipe the drive and do not format it or partition it then try again.

The NVMe work just fine on the same machine while using SD card as the main boot medium. It works well on raspberry pi as well.

I have tried completely wipe the drive as well.

They have a funky bootloader set up, to me it seemed overly complex. I would flash a new kernel and it would still boot on the old kernel, it is like really…Had to manually transfer the Image over and then boot.

At this point, on a normal system I would look at uboot args and extlinux.conf, uEnv.txt and make sure it is pointing to your nmve partition.

I am waiting on a replacement board so I cannot look into this until a replacement arrives.
