Flashing to NVMe initially worked, but now I cannot flash again

Hello, I am attempting to flash a Orin NX with a NVMe drive attached. It is on a custom carrier board and all the hardware is verified to work. I was able to initially flash Jetpack 6.2.1 onto the NX, but every attempt at flashing after the first always fails. In the Initial flash I had the ODMDATA set wrong, it is now set correctly in the the p3767.conf.common

Commands I run to flash ($DIR_CUSTOM_LFT is the Linux_for_Tegra directory)

           cd "$DIR_CUSTOM_LFT" || exit
           sudo "$DIR_CUSTOM_LFT"/tools/l4t_flash_prerequisites.sh
           sudo systemctl restart nfs-server.service
           echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs >/dev/null
           sudo "$DIR_CUSTOM_LFT"/nvsdkmanager_flash.sh --storage nvme0n1p1
           sync; sync

I have verified the NX is in forced recovery mode, and I do see the Nvidia APX when running lsusb on the host.
When I attempt to flash it appears the USB disconnects, the flash fails, then the USB reconnects. I have doublechecked the hardware and it is not a USB issue, also I was able to flash it initially.

I am not Using a VM

*** Please note that this reply is generated by LLM automatically ***

Based on the provided information, it appears that you are experiencing issues with flashing a Jetson Orin NX module on a custom carrier board with a NVMe drive attached. You were able to initially flash Jetpack 6.2.1 onto the NX, but subsequent attempts at flashing have failed.

Here are some potential causes and solutions to consider:

  1. ODMDATA configuration: You mentioned that the ODMDATA was set incorrectly during the initial flash, but it is now set correctly in the p3767.conf.common file. However, it’s essential to ensure that the ODMDATA configuration is correct for your custom carrier board. Verify that the configuration matches the hardware setup, especially the gbe-uphy-config setting, which should be set to 0 or 1 if your CVB is not using MGBE.

  2. USB connection issues: Although you’ve verified that the hardware is not causing the issue, it’s possible that the USB connection is being interrupted during the flashing process. Try using a different USB port or a USB hub to rule out any issues with the USB connection.

  3. Forced recovery mode: Ensure that the NX is in forced recovery mode before attempting to flash. You can verify this by checking the device’s presence in the lsusb output on the host machine.

  4. Flash commands: Double-check the flash commands you are using. The commands should be run from the Linux for Tegra (L4T) directory, and the correct syntax should be used. For example:

sudo ./flash.sh jetson-orin-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1

   or
   ```bash
sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 \
   -c tools/kernel_flash//flash_l4t_t234_nvme.xml -p "-c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" \
   --showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

  1. Flash log and serial console log analysis: Analyze the flash log and serial console log to identify any specific error messages or patterns that may indicate the cause of the issue.

  2. Comparison with Jetson AGX Orin: Although the flashing process for Jetson Orin NX and Jetson AGX Orin is similar, there may be some differences in the configuration files or flash commands. Compare the flashing process for Jetson AGX Orin with the one you are using for Jetson Orin NX to ensure that you are using the correct configuration files and flash commands.

To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following steps:

  1. Verify the ODMDATA configuration and ensure that it matches the hardware setup.
  2. Check the USB connection and try using a different USB port or a USB hub.
  3. Ensure that the NX is in forced recovery mode before attempting to flash.
  4. Double-check the flash commands and syntax.
  5. Analyze the flash log and serial console log to identify any specific error messages or patterns.
  6. Compare the flashing process for Jetson AGX Orin with the one you are using for Jetson Orin NX to ensure that you are using the correct configuration files and flash commands.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, please provide more details about the error messages or patterns you are seeing in the flash log and serial console log, and I’ll be happy to help you further.

Hello @Jetson_tester,

Have you tried power cycling the board and re-booting into recovery mode?

Sometimes if a flash fails and then you try flashing without power cycle, the system ends on a bad state.

Yes I have power cycled the board multiple times with the same ending.

I have also tried different methods of going into forced recovery mode such as entering it from the bios and the sudo reboot --force forced-recovery .

@Jetson_tester,

Interesting.

I have seen a similar behavior in the past, where the flashing procedure was not working on NVMe’s that were already flashed due to an error to flash the QSPI.

Have you tried flashing using the devkit just to see if the same happens ?

I have not attempted to flash a devkit NX yet with this current image, but in the past it has worked (5.1.2 and 6.2.1).

One weird thing i noticed in the flash logs was this

Why is it reading p3701 from the EEPROM and doing some Pre-processing with p3701 when I never use those files when flashing. That’s for the AGX not the NX

@Jetson_tester,

Apologies for the wait time.
I was taking the wife to work.

Can you share the command you are using for flashing?

@Jetson_tester,

Update.
I think you might be onto something with your last message.

This is how it looks for us when successfully flashing one our client’s NXs.

These are the commands I use for the current image

I went back to a stable image which utilized the backup/restore feature, and attempted to do a restore on the NX and got a slightly similar error.

The below command line and serial output is from the Stable Image

@Jetson_tester,

Can you try flashing with this command instead?

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml -p '-c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml' --showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

best regards,

Still failed

This I think is the main issue.

It is a know issue, although is hard to debug.
Since it could be the host pc, the usb cables… I have even seen flashes failed because the Jetson overheats.

On this thread NVIDIA recommends:

  • Trying for another USB cable/port
  • Using an Ubuntu 18.04 host for flashing, in case you are using 20.04
  • Disabling USB auto suspend

For now, given that it’s the easiest. Can you try with:

udo -s echo -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend

Before running the flash command that I sent?

I have tested that before, it did not work for me. I get the same logs as I sent in my last message sadly.

15

That sucks, I know how frustrating it is to be hitting a non-sense error that does not let you work on something actually important.

Do you have other boards you might be able to test with ?

Is the custom board completely custom ? Or is it one of those commercial ones like CTI or Auvidea?

Do you have another linux PC we could use to test?

Its a completely custom board, where we have a CPU SOM and GPU (Nvidia) SOM on the same board. We have the image on the CPU side and flash the GPU with the CPU over the USB protocol.

I’m thinking I may have to wipe the NVMe and reflash it. Is there a method to completely wipe the NVMe while the SOM is in forced recovery mode?

17

Man that sounds cool !
I have played with similar board configuration in the past where we had a Jetson and co-processor. But they were usually small arm CPU’s managing Bluetooth and other peripherals.

Is removing the NVMe too complex or impossible?

Late Response but I fixed the issue

Had to wipe the NVMe drive then reflash

Steps to replicate:

  1. On the Host run this from the Linux_for_Tegra Directory while the board is in Forced Recovery Mode
sudo BOARDID=3767 BOARDSKU=0000 FAB=300 BOARDREV="" \
  ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh \
    --erase-all \
    --external-device nvme0n1p1 \
    -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_t234_nvme.xml \
    -p "-c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" \
    --showlogs \
    jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

This erases the NVMe drive, once finished it will attempt to boot and you will see some sort of kernel panic.

  1. Reboot the NX and get into the bios (Press ESC when the prompt appears).

  2. Put the NX in Forced Recovery Mode from the Bios
    Reflash the Board from the Host as Normal.

Seems to be a solid way of resetting everything

Thanks for your help @proventusnova
