Failed to flash Jetson Orin Nano with SDK Manager

[hocino42]

Hi,

I just bougth my first Jetson Nano Orin developper Kit ans I m still unable to flash it…

I use a standalone Ubuntu 22.04 machine, I Installed SDK Manager, my Jetson module is correctly detected.

But I have an error when I try to flash the module with JetPack 6.0 DP, when the flash is almost done (98%), it throws an error.
Here the complete sdkmanager log :
SDKM_logs_JetPack_6.0_DP_Linux_for_Jetson_Orin_Nano_modules_2024-04-05_13-07-01.zip (200.2 KB)

I searched on forums and on the web and I don’t find the solution.

Do you have any idea please ? Did I miss something ?

Thanks a lot for your help

Have you tried a different USB port on your computer? I had the same issue when flashing my orin and using a different port worked for me

Finally, I renounced to install JetPack 6 from SDKMANAGER.

I directly flashed the jetson bios to update QSPI bootloader from the terminal with commands and separatly I flashed the sd card from my windows system.

It works fine.

Here, the useful post to realize it :

I used standalone ubuntu not Wsl, so I followed only the steps for ubuntu.

Useful documentation :
https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r36.2/DeveloperGuide/IN/QuickStart.html

It’s so faster and easier than to use Sdk manager… I lost 2 days trying with sdk manager…
