Flash Orin NX 16gb module on TuringPi2 board

Hi everyone,
I’m working with a custom board “TuringPI2” to build a cluster of two Jetson Orin NX 16Gb modules. I flashed the first module with sdkmanager with jetpack 5.1.1 without relevant problems, but I can’t flash the second module.
When I try to flash the module using sdkmanager or with the command:

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 \  
  -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml -p "-c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" \  
  --showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

Flash fails giving this error:

...
[   0.3212 ] tegrarcm_v2 --chip 0x23 0 --pollbl --download applet applet_t234_sigheader.bin.encrypt
[   0.3222 ] BL: version 0.32.0.0-t234-54845784-57325615 last_boot_error: 656573201

Error: Return value 3
Command tegrarcm_v2 --chip 0x23 0 --pollbl --download applet applet_t234_sigheader.bin.encrypt
Reading board information failed.

Here there are the log files of the UART and console:
flash_turingpi_cmd.log (12.3 KB)
flash_turingpi_uart.log (6.1 KB)

I also attach the boot log when I turn on the module:
boot.log (10.4 KB)

Moreover, I’ve tried to flash the module using a Jetson Nano Devkit board.
Unfortunately, this board does not support nvme so I was not able to reach the end of the flash.
Errors are different, here the logfiles:
flash_devkit_uart.log (21.7 KB)
flash_devkit_cmd.log (72.0 KB)

Do you have any idea why I can’t flash the module with the custom board? I’ve tried with new jetpack too.
Do you think that by buying the Orin devkit board I will be able to solve or is it a problem with the module?

Thank you all for the help!

For any flashing issues with custom carrier board, please contact the vendor first.

I suggest you to read this article, it is specific for TuringPI2 with your card: Discord

I have TuringPI2+Jetson Orin NX 16GB, I am on Jetpack 6 with 36.2.
