Flashing problems

Hello,

I’m having problems flashing the Jetson Orin Nano and I keep coming across different error messages.

In the end, the goal should be to have your own hardware running Jetson Orin NX.

However, we can’t even get the DevKit to run in the Jetson Orin Nano DevKit. We tested both Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 as the operating system, but neither works.

I made a log of the flashing process of the device and of
the boot process (serial) and attached it here. These logs are now from my Ubuntu 20.04 host computer.

What am I doing wrong?

The reason is simple. The flash command you are using is wrong…

Please check the document.

Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit (SD card):

I’ve already tested it and unfortunately it didn’t work for me either.

I deleted the Linux_for_Tegra directory again and then went through the instructions again from the new one.

I have attached my new error messages again.

Please also dump the uart console during flash failure.

BTW, this is your first time flashing a jetson orin nano/nx, right?

Yes, it is the first time flashing Orin Nano and Orin NX.
So far I have only flashed the Jetson Nano and the Jetson Xavier NX.

I have also attached the UART log.

Could you check if all these packages are installed on your host?

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y sshpass
sudo apt-get install -y abootimg
sudo apt-get install -y nfs-kernel-server
sudo apt-get install -y libxml2-utils
sudo apt-get install -y binutils
sudo apt-get install -y qemu-user-static
sudo apt-get install -y python

I have checked all of these packages and they are all installed and all up to date.

please also try other kind of host pc. As this issue here is your host cannot launch nfs between itself and jetson.
It could also be firewall setting.

The host PC is brand new. What can I do to make it work there? Using an older laptop, testing the hardware once worked, but this is not the solution for us.

You could google search the solution for that nfs timeout error in your uart log.

This could be host PC firewall setting.
