Flashing QSPI Jetson Orin Nano

[DevinS]

Hi everyone, we are trying to flash QSPI on Jetson Orin boards for mass production by using the provided flashing scripts. We ran into the same issue that occurred in this post: Link This command was working at first (i.e : ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh -p "–no-systemimg -c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit-nvme nvme0n1p1), however I had to delete and redownload the SDK folder and now when I run the command provided, the device tries to boot from SDMMC interface.

I tried to run the command with different arguments, and it works, however now if I have ethernet connected - the device tries to boot over HTTP first. (i.e : ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh -p "–no-systemimg -c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" --network usb0 --external-device nvme0n1p1 jetson-orin-nano-devkit-nvme internal). I just want to flash the QSPI using Jetpack 5.1.2 so we can boot from cloned NVME.

Hi DevinS,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for Orin Nano?

@DevinS

I just want to flash the QSPI using Jetpack 5.1.2 so we can boot from cloned NVME.

Please try running the following command to flash QSPI only on Orin Nano.

$ sudo ./flash.sh -c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

Hi Kevin, that command only works one time on boards that do not come from devkits. If you follow the link I provided above, it shows a forum post with the same issue. (QSPI is not deleted when ran a second time, hence why I have to use the initrd_flash). We are using a custom carrier board but we have the same issue when using devkits.

I found out the issue was in the program I was using to call the flashing script and was fixed. Thank you for your time.
