Flashing to USB on Jetson Orin NX 16 GB

I have a Jetson Orin NX 16 GB configured on a custom carrier board. I am trying to flash the board from a 64 GB USB drive with l4t_initrd_flash.sh script. I have updated “num_sectors” in flash_l4t_external.xml with the number of sectors (120164352) and “ROOTFSSIZE” in p3767.conf.common to 51GiB. Within the BSP directory on my host PC, I run the following command to flash the board when it’s in recovery mode:

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device sda -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml -p "-c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" --showlogs --network usb0 p3509-a02-p3767-0000 internal

I get this attached log output on my host PC.
orin_nx_usb_flash_log.txt (301.0 KB)

I disabled the usb autosuspend parameter on the host. There doesn’t seem to be a way to get the UART serial port log on the custom carrier board.

Do you have any suggestions about how to debug this issue?

Hi,

Either the device cannot mount the NFS server on the host or a flash command has failed

Could you disable the firewall and reflash the device again?
Also make sure the usb format is ext4.

Also some questions to confirm

  • Is your host ubuntu a native or a virtual machine (e.g. VMware…)
  • Have you flashed successfully in your device with NVMe?

Thanks

I disabled the firewall on the host by running:

sudo systemctl disable ufw

I still receive the same error: “Either the device cannot mount the NFS server on the host or a flash command has failed.”

USB format is ext4. Host Ubuntu is native. OS version is 22.04.5 LTS.

I successfully flashed with NVMe. The host log is here:
flash_nvme_log.txt (340.7 KB).

Any other suggestions?
