Failed Re-Flashing Jetson Xavier NX

I have a Jetson AGX XAVIER devkit board from NVIDIA which i’m trying to re-flash. i’ve followed instructions from Quick Start — Jetson Linux<br/>Developer Guide 34.1 documentation and used this image Jetson Linux | NVIDIA Developer for my attempt. I’m installing from Ubuntu

Below are the logs:

is there perhaps something i’m doing wrong? Thanks for your time.

Hi,

What is your bsp version? Seems like you are using r35.6.2.

Please refer to Quick Start — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation

Do you apply below commands below flash?

$ tar xf ${L4T_RELEASE_PACKAGE}
$ sudo tar xpf ${SAMPLE_FS_PACKAGE} -C Linux_for_Tegra/rootfs/
$ cd Linux_for_Tegra/
$ sudo ./apply_binaries.sh
$ sudo ./tools/l4t_flash_prerequisites.sh

Hi David, thanks for the response.my current BSP version is indeed 35.6.2 which should be the latest compatible version with my board(?) via the compatibility matrix. It seems like the documentation site i used before missed the l4t_flash_prerequisites step. I’ve deleted the previously extracted files and re-ran all the commands above before flashing. unfortunately i’m still getting the same error. below are the logs from the most recent attempt

Hi,

Please provide the serial console log for us to review.

Some questions to confirm:

  • Is your AGX Xavier a dev kit or a custom board?
  • Is your ubuntu a native or a virtual machine?

Thanks

Sorry for the very late reply. I wasn’t able to get a micro-usb cable to hook up the serial console at that time. I ended up downloading the nvidia sdk-manager desktop app under an ubuntu vm with the appropriate os version. Flashing through the desktop app by usb passthrough ended up working. Thanks anyways!
