Flashing Jetson Orin AGX on custom carrier board

Hi!

We have our own custom carrier board which mimics mostly the devkit for a Jetson Orin AGX. However, it only has 1 USB-A port and no USB-C or USB-mini. Inside the SDK manager, the board is detected but cant be selected. When trying to flash the Jetson from cmdline (using sudo ./flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit mmcblk0p1), this is what i get :

PS. I’m using as a host Ubuntu20.04LTS on a dell laptop. Flashing the jetson on the devkit works perfectly!

Thank you!

Hi,

so it’s guaranteed that the flashing process will fail, because the device tree you are using now only works for the DevKit, but not your custom board.

Please check our developer guide for required changes in device trees:
