Hello,
I’m getting an error when trying to flash Xavier board with version 5.2.0. I retried a few times, but error keeps happening. At the moment, it seems both Tegra A and B are not booting into linux.

Hi @gordon1zrra,

Please share the complete logs (compress ~/.nvsdk and upload it).
On the same host system, have you successfully flashed 5.2.0 onto another platform?
Could you try with the latest SDK Manager (1.6.1)?

Hi,
Yes, I’ve used same host PC to flash another xavier to 5.2.0 before. I also updated to latest SDK manager after I got a failure to flash, but it didn’t help.

I can’t find ~/.nvsdk directory on my PC, there is however a .nvsdkm directory. nvsdkm.tar.xz (1.8 MB)

I found the messages in your logs but have no idea yet.
Could you make sure to use a USB 2.0 cable and try if rebooting your host system will help?

Hi,

It’s working after I rebooted my PC. Thanks for the suggestion.
