Having problems with flashing Jetson Tx2 4gb for the first time

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson TX2
1

Hello.

I have a Jetson Tx2 4Gb. I am trying to flash it for the first time using the SDK Developer. The Jetson Tx2 4Gb is plugged to the computer with an Ethernet cable and a Micro-USB cable. I try to type a username and password for my Jetson Tx2 4Gb but it says “Incorrect username or password”. I checked the terminal with the “dmesg” command. It gave errors (You can check them under this text) and at this point I don’t know what to do. What I want to do is flash my Jetson Tx2 4gb and start working on projects with it. Please help!

I think it is more like a problem from flash. Could you share what device you’ve chosen in sdkmanager?

3

I have chosen the Jetson TX2 4GB as the target hardware.

4

That’s a lot of PCIe errors. Is that a devel carrier board/kit? Is there anything connected other than monitor/keyboard? Was there a monitor/keyboard attached during flash? Was this JetPack4.2.1?

5

So right now the Jetson is connected to my PC with an ethernet and a micro-usb cable. Other than that, the Jetson is connected to a monitor. I am using the Orbitty Carrier and the Jetpack version is 4.2.1

I tried to do a manual setup and set the device to recovery mode. In the end, I got a black screen that says the following on the Jetson monitor:

The SDKManager is still asking me a username and password for the Jetson TX2 4Gb module. And at this point I don’t know which steps I should take.

6

urandom is normal, you can ignore that. The “edid invalid” implies an i2c setup failure, which in turn is from the device tree…which in turn is supplied by the manufacturer of the Orbitty. This would also validate the reason for the PCIe issues…device tree failure. So this is a case of finding out from the Orbitty manufacturer if your device tree/BSP is valid for the 4GB model on that particular JetPack/SDKM version. Lack of installing this, or a mismatch of versions would account for all of the failures.

Hi iltasonur99,

Are you using below command to flash by manually?

sudo ./flash jetson-tx2-4GB mmcblk0p1

At first time boot up, please completed the initial setup process. (include your username and password)

8

Thank you very much for the explanations. It helped me understand more.

9

I couldn’t do this via the application. This code worked perfectly. Thank you very much.

Hi iltasonur99,

It’s good to know :)
Any question please let us know.
