Flashing jetson nano - Error: Invalid target board

I am trying to get an image of my jetson nano using

sudo ./flash.sh -r -k APP -G backup.img jetson-nano mmcblk0p1

But it says Error: Invalid target board - jetson-nano even though I can see the device in lsusb

usbdevs

I have downloaded the image and the flash tools. I already have them set up as follows

cd ~/Downloads
sudo tar xpf Jetson-210_Linux_R32.4.3_aarch64.tbz2
cd Linux_for_Tegra/rootfs/
sudo tar xpf ../../Tegra_Linux_Sample-Root-Filesystem_R32.4.3_aarch64.tbz2 
sudo ./apply_binaries.sh

Hi,

Please read the quick start guide.

Actually the error should be “no such board name under Linux_for_Tegra”…

Please open your Linux_for_Tegra folder and check the *.conf names. For example,

Linux_for_Tegra$ ls *.conf
jetson-nano-emmc.conf
jetson-nano-qspi.conf
jetson-nano-qspi-sd.conf
jetson-tx1.conf
p2371-2180-devkit-24x7.conf
p2371-2180-devkit.conf
p3448-0000.conf
p3448-0000-emmc.conf
p3448-0000-sd.conf

If you are using emmc nano, use board name “jetson-nano-emmc”

or if using sdcard nano, then use “jetson-nano-qspi-sd”.

But the error I got is as specified. Here’s a screenshot

Here’s the *.conf files in Linux_for_Tegra/

Thanks! Yes apparently I have specified the board name wrong. I am using an sd card so this seems to work

sudo ./flash.sh -r -k APP -G backup.img jetson-nano-qspi-sd mmcblk0p1

The error didn’t occur and the flashing process started. But halfway the process, board powered off (I think) I used a 2A power supply so that might be the reason. Now I cannot power up the board using the same power supply (Worked fine before. Still the board works with USB power)

I’ll get a 5A supply and retry later. Will update the answer accordingly
