The error “flashing failed” with a zip size of 59 KB during the flashing process of the Jetson AGX Orin device indicates that there is an issue with the flashing process.

To troubleshoot this error, let’s consider the following steps:

  1. Verify the device tree configuration: As you mentioned, you were trying to fix other errors in your device tree config. Make sure that the device tree configuration is correct and properly formatted. You can refer to the NVIDIA documentation for the correct device tree configuration for the Jetson AGX Orin device.

  2. Check the flashing command: Ensure that the flashing command is correct and properly formatted. You can refer to the NVIDIA documentation for the correct flashing command for the Jetson AGX Orin device.

  3. Verify the boot media: Make sure that the boot media (e.g., NVMe drive, SD card) is properly connected and configured. Ensure that the boot media is selected as the boot option from the UEFI menu.

  4. Check the flash.sh script: The flash.sh script is used to flash the device. Ensure that the script is properly configured and executed. You can refer to the NVIDIA documentation for the correct usage of the flash.sh script.

  5. Compare with other configurations: If you are using a custom device tree configuration, compare it with the default configuration provided by NVIDIA. This can help you identify any differences or issues with your custom configuration.

  6. Check the kernel and root file system: Ensure that the kernel and root file system are properly configured and flashed. You can refer to the NVIDIA documentation for the correct configuration and flashing process for the kernel and root file system.

  7. Try a different flashing method: If you are using the flash.sh script, try using the l4t_initrd_flash.sh script instead. This script uses the recovery initial ramdisk to flash the device and can be faster and more reliable.

Here is an example of the l4t_initrd_flash.sh script for the Jetson AGX Orin device:

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device sda1 \
  -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_t234_nvme.xml \
  --showlogs --network usb0 jetson-agx-orin-devkit external

This script flashes the device using the recovery initial ramdisk and can be faster and more reliable than the flash.sh script.

In summary, the error “flashing failed” with a zip size of 59 KB during the flashing process of the Jetson AGX Orin device indicates that there is an issue with the flashing process. To troubleshoot this error, verify the device tree configuration, check the flashing command, verify the boot media, check the flash.sh script, compare with other configurations, check the kernel and root file system, and try a different flashing method.
