Hello everyone!
I have 2 PC’s with OS Ubuntu 20.04
With one the device I’ve succeeded to flash the jetson Xavier NX (custom board) and the second one encountering with an error.
I made a Google search but everything that can’t be related to my issue
The main error that shown me is
tegrarcm_v2 --instance 1-1 --isapplet
[ 31.3676 ] tegrarcm_v2 --instance 1-1 --ismb2
[ 31.3814 ] tegradevflash_v2 --instance 1-1 --iscpubl
[ 31.3824 ] CPU Bootloader is not running on device.
Error: None of the bootloaders are running on device. Check the UART log. Cleaning up...

I’ve installed every package that can be related (Nvidia driver 535)
I’ve attached the last output of the flash in txt file
Thanks!

I’ve installed every package that can be related (Nvidia driver 535)

This has nothing to do with installing any Jetson plaform.

  1. Are you the board vendor who made this custom board? Or you just bought it?
  2. What is the flash command you are using to flash?

Hey

No I’m the customer, but it also happened when I’m trying to install the jetson using the SDK manager (worked in the past, just not working well because it has no BSP files when using the SDK manager) and still crashing.
The command is basically can be any command to flash even the basic command
for example "$ sudo ./flash.sh Xavier-nx mmcblk0p1"
or enev using the exist config $ sudo ./l4t_initrd_flash.sh --flash-only airvolute-dcs1.2+p3668-0001-qspi-emmc mmcblk0p1"
Both not working, my question is there might be a driver I missing?
Tried to switch between cables (also new ones) and still the same error over and over.
Thanks

Hi,

The problem here is the flash command you just posted are all wrong/incompleted.

Please do not give us “for example”. I need the exact commands you run there.

There is no evidence to prove that any driver is missing. It is you cannot even give a correct information out yet.

Ok
The correct command for flashing is $ sudo ./l4t_initrd_flash.sh --flash-only airvolute-dcs1.2+p3668-0001-qspi-emmc mmcblk0p1" when using the exist config
The main flashing command is using python script under the manufacturer GitHub repository “GitHub - airvolute/dcs-deploy” so it’s not that relevant.
There is something do to to solve it?
Formatting the PC will work but I have a lot of information so it’s a long process.
Important to mention, my personal laptop with ubuntu 20.04 flashing with the same exact files successfully.
Thanks

I just checked their github but I don’t really think what you are using there is really for a Orin NX. At least the commands provided there seems not.

p3668 is the ID for Xaiver NX. Not Orin NX.

But the topic and the forum you filed this topic indicate you want to flash a Orin NX here…
So what are you trying to flash exactly…??

Please help to open a new topic at Xavier NX forum if it’s still an issue. Thanks
