Dear @lijie2019,
Could you share the whole sdkm logs(~/.nvsdkm/ folder) and output of uname -a

the output of uname -a is :
Linux a8 5.3.0-28-generic #30~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 17 06:14:09 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

sdkm.log (76.2 KB)

Dear @lijie2019,
Please attach the whole ~/.nvsdkm/ folder not just sdkm.log file. Also, could you check flashing the individual tegras to see if it works.

Hi,
Because the .zip file is not allowed to be uploaded, so I rename it to .zip.log:

.nvsdkm.zip.log (2.8 MB)

to flash the AGX Device, I do the following preparations:

  1. switch the MCU to “PRG”
  2. use the USB A-A CABLE to connect the debug USB to a USB2.0 port of the host machine

what operations are different for "flashing the individual tegras " ?

Dear @lijie2019,
While flashing the board, you have an option choose single Tegra in sdkmanager GUI instead of parallel flash

Different from the instructions: Install DRIVE with SDK Manager :: NVIDIA SDK Manager Documentation
there is no choice for the flash button as the following:

Hi @lijie2019,

why are you doing this step, where in the documentation or in the steps of using SDKManager you were asked to do that?

the documentation here states explicitly to “Ensure the MCU Programming Switch is set to the RUN position.” regardless of what you plan to do with the board.

if the same error occurs after setting the switch to the correct position, please attache this log file:
/home/j1/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/DRIVE_Software_10.0_Linux_OS_DDPX/DRIVEOS/pdkinstaller/pdkinstaller.log

thanks

Thanks for your reminding, and the flash is completed with the MCU of “RUN”.

I had misunderstood “Set the device to USB Recovery Mode using Manual Setup” to “switch the MCU to PRG”.

I think the instructions 3 & 4 in the screenshot are not necessary, which can mislead the users. Actually, the network connection and USB recovery mode are not necessary.

Hi @lijie2019,

thank you for you comments and feedback, we’ll work on improving the instructions.
