Failed to flash Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit- SD card with SDK Manager

[ccoronels]

I’m trying to flash Jetpack 6.0 DP onto my SD card and configure Jetson Orin Nano 8gb Developer Kit for the new OS. However, I am encountering error saying “Could not detect correct NVIDIA Jetson device connected to USB”.

According to guide installation is possible to flash this device if it’s in force recovery mode when i connect pins gnd and fc rec.

But i can’t still flash jetson orin nano. And each time i try to flash i back to the auto connect mode. What can i do?

Hi ccoronels,

@ccoronels

Jetpack 6.0 DP

Could you use Jetpack 6.0 GA(R36.3.0) instead?

From the result of lsusb, it can be recognized from the host.
Could you try running the following command to flash the devkit?

$ sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device mmcblk0p1 -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_t234_nvme.xml \
-p "-c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" --showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

I can’t use jetpack 6.0 GA(R36.3.0)
And when i try to run the commando shows:
sudo: ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh: command not found
I run this command to see file exists:
cd ./tools/kernel_flash
bash: cd: ./tools/kernel_flash: No such file or directory

[KevinFFF]

Do you run that command under BSP package on your host PC?

[ccoronels]

I’m using a virtual machine (VM) to run these commands. Initially, the device is recognized correctly, but at some point, the VM reports that the USB is not connected, particularly during the conversion to a sparse image.

[KevinFFF]

We don’t suggest using VM to flash the board since the USB connection may be unstable.
There would be several reboot during flash so that VM may not recognize the board after reboot.

Please get a standalone Ubuntu host PC and give it a try.

I’m running this command using ubuntu on host PC according to this guide: https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r36.2/DeveloperGuide/IN/QuickStart.html:

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device mmcblk0p1
-c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml -p “-c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml”
–showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

But i have this error:
waiting for target to boot-up

# L4T BSP Information:

I want to note again that we don’t suggest using Jetpack 6.0 DP (R36.2), which is a Developer Preview rather than production release so that it may be unstable.

For this error during flash, you have to check the serial console log from your device to check if there’s any boot issue at this moment.

There is even a known flash issue for what you just reported on rel-36.2.

Already fixed in rel-36.3. Please upgrade to rel-36.3 or new rel-36.4.
