Flash Jetson Orin Nx with Jetpack 6.0 (36.3) from Ubuntu 24 Host?

Hi,

I am trying to manually flash my Jetson Orin NX with JetPack 6.0 (L4T R36.3.0) using the BSP (Jetson_Linux_R36.3.0_aarch64.tbz2) and Sample Root Filesystem (Tegra_Linux_Sample-Root-Filesystem_R36.3.0_aarch64.tbz2) downloaded from the NVIDIA website.

Host PC: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Target Device: Jetson Orin NX

I extracted the BSP and the Root Filesystem correctly. When I run the sudo ./apply_binaries.sh script inside the Linux_for_Tegra directory, the process fails during the Debian package installation step.

Here is the relevant error output:

[...] Setting up nvidia-l4t-core (36.3.0-20240506102626) ... Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.35-0ubuntu3.6) ... qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped Segmentation fault (core dumped) qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped Segmentation fault (core dumped) dpkg: error processing package libc-bin (--install): installed libc-bin package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 139 Errors were encountered while processing: libc-bin

I understand that Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is not officially listed as a supported host OS for JetPack 6.0 (L4T R36.3), which requires Ubuntu 22.04 or 20.04. I have already tried reinstalling qemu-user-static on my host and performing a clean setup (deleting Linux_for_Tegra and re-extracting both archives), but this QEMU segmentation fault persists.

Is this failure expected behaviour when using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS as the host for preparing the L4T R36.3 rootfs with apply_binaries.sh?

Are there any known workarounds or patches that would allow this step to complete successfully on Ubuntu 24.04, or is switching to an officially supported host OS (22.04/20.04) the only reliable solution at this time?

Thank you for any assistance.

As you knew that the Ubuntu 24.04 is not supported officially, we do not have any validation with this SDK manager version yet, hence there is no any patch or workaround ready.
Suggest to switch back to Ubuntu 22.04 OS on host machine.

Yep. I can confirm that using Ubuntu 24.04 as a host system for flashing JetPack 6.0 with NVIDIA’s SDK Manager or command-line methods does not work.🙂 Interestingly, flashing JetPack 6.1 or 6.2 using Ubuntu 24.04 as the host does work.
