Failed to read rcm_state - SDK Manager flash error - Jetson Orin Nano

[AustinCTH]

I am trying to flash my Jetpack 6.1 for my Jetson Orin Nano 8GB developer kit, and it is a custom board from Advantech. I am running SDK Manager on Ubuntu 20.04. Retried several times and the installation stuck at around 32%, showing error with “Flash Jetson Linux.” Every time I check the terminal on the SDK Manager, it shows that the error starts with the line:

ERROR: [0.0134] ERROR: failed to read rcm_state

and then it keeps showing other errors.

I wonder if i have operation mistakes or version compatibility problems, or the problem is related to the custom board. Actually, Advantech had flashed this Jetson Orin Nano and placed a SSD, but it is with ubuntu 20.04 and I want to run ubuntu 22.04 with my SD card by flashing Jetpack 6.1, so I removed its SSD and pluged in my 128GB SD card before flashing the Jetpack.

Can anyone help out to see what is wrong? Thanks a lot.

Hi cth5115,

Are you using the custom carrier board for Orin Nano 8GB module?
If so, SDK Manager may not work in your case since it use official BSP package rather than custom BSP package.
Please request the custom BSP package from your vendor and use command to flash the board.

From the log you shared, please also try to disable the firewall configurations on your host to check if it could help.

Hi KevinFFF,

Thanks for your response! Yes I am using the custom carrier board. I will contact my vendor.

Yep my vendor gave me their custom BSP, and it worked.
