Flashing Failure In Jetson orin NX

I was trying to flash my jetson Orin NX using this 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 p3509-a02+p3767-0000 internal

but I was getting this flash failure

Writing /mnt/internal/gpt_secondary_3_0.bin (16896 bytes) into /dev/mtd0:67091968
Copied 16896 bytes from /mnt/internal/gpt_secondary_3_0.bin to address 0x03ffbe00 in flash
[ 182]: l4t_flash_from_kernel: Successfully flash the qspi

Hi,

  • Does your device have NVMe?
  • Which version of JetPack are you planning to install?
  • Is your Orin NX using a developer kit or a custom carrier board?
  • The officially supported PC requirement is Ubuntu 20.04 running on a physical machine, not a virtual environment (e.g., WSL, VirtualBox, VMware, etc.).

Please provide the complete flash log and UART log from the flash process.
For instructions on recording the UART log, you can refer to this.

Thanks

Hi @DavidDDD,

Thanks for your reply.
My device has a NVMe.
I am planning to install jetpack 5.1.2.
Orin NX is using a custom carrier board.
Pc requirements are fine.
Please find the attached logs.
uart_flash.log (251.7 KB)
flash.log (261.2 KB)

Hi,

  • Was the custom carrier board designed by you or by another vendor?
  • If it was designed by a vendor, please contact them for a customized BSP, as our official BSP does not support custom carrier boards.
  • If you have the Orin Nano Dev Kit board, you can use the SDK Manager to cross-check orin-NX with orin nano dev kit whether the flashing process was successful.

Thanks.
