Flashing jetson linux to NVMe on a borken usb c jetson AGX 32GB

[lalith7239]

Hello, USB-c port on AGX 32GB module is broken. I am trying to flash and boot from NVMe. Unit currently can boot from eMMC. Is it possible to flash and boot from NVMe with broken USB-c?

One of the similar topic suggested to follow: Flashing Support — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation. from terminal i cannot reach tools/kernel_flash/.

if these cmd have to be tried in recovery mode, device is not going into recovery mode ( tried ‘sudo reboot --force forced-recovery’ and also tried pressing the reset and recovery button).

Appreciate any help to boot AGX from ssd.

-thanks,
Lalith

Hi,
If the device cannot be flashed/booted, please refer to the page to get uart log from the device:
Jetson/General debug - eLinux.org
And get logs of host PC and Jetson device for reference. If you are using custom board, you can compare uart log of developer kit and custom board to get more information.
Also please check FAQs:
Jetson AGX Orin FAQ
If possible, we would suggest follow quick start in developer guide to re-flash the system:
Quick Start — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation
And see if the issue still persists on a clean-flashed system.
Thanks!

The following once worked for me.

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 -c -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_t234_nvme.xml
-p “-c bootloadergeneric/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml”

Tools and instructions for flashing with initrd can be found in the directory /Linux_for_Tegra/‌tools/‌kernel_flash/. For more detailed information, see README_initrd_flash.txt in the same directory

Hi,

You could use sdk manager to flash your AGX Orin with NVMe option.

Thanks
