Hi, I’ve installed a Samsung NVMe 500Gb SSD to the M.2 type M slot of the Xavier and I was able to format the partition and mount and copy the root files over as described by JetsonHacks[1] but I noticed that the file /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf is missing so I’m not sure how to proceed. Any idea…

Dear all, How to boot AGX Xavier that just came out from the box? Is it need sdcard to boot? When I put AGX Xavier with a HDMI screen, a keyboard and a mouse then power it up, it does not appear anything on the screen. Keyboard caps lock does not on/ off. I have followed https://developer.downlo…

No SD card needed for boot (and probably should be avoided while flashing). When an Xavier is in recovery mode with the correct USB to host, then the following will show something: lsusb -d 0955:7019 (0955 is the NVIDIA USB registry manufacturer ID, and 7019 is the Xavier product ID) Basically a…

Hello, It maybe not the answer you all want, but I’d like to share my solution of this problem. Since it seems it is difficult to mount SSD partition for booting a Xavier device, I took a way to mount the original filesystem on eMMC as readonly and overlay another read-writable filesystem located…

P.S. The script I posted above actually has one problem on shutdown, where unmounting the overlayed partition fails (though it works without any problem as for now). For anyone who has any advice or answer, please create a pull request to my repo or just posting to this thread. It’d definitely he…

Hi, I have modified furushchev’s solution in “true” systemd way and become able to mount SSD drive as rootfs without overlay and reboot problems. Xavier was flashed and software was installed using SDKManager. Rootfs from eMMC was copied to SSD ( with one ext4 partition in my case): #!/bin/bash …

it is really works :) Thank a lot , @crazy_yorick

Can some one from Nvidia please confirm/provide the supported way of doing this? Thank you.

After reflashing to JetPack 4.4 DP I had time to play with booting from SSD again and here are some remarks. Because forum fobids sharing archives with scripts, formated text will be included. I added conditional start for service on /etc/setssdroot.conf (on mmcblk0p1) availability. To mount root…

There is another method to mount rootfs on SSD in JetPack 4.4. Now initrd is located with kernel image in /boot/ folder on /dev/mmcblk0p1. Loaded initrd is set in INITRD initrd_file line in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf on /dev/mmcblk0p1. LABEL primary MENU LABEL primary kernel …

If rootfs from SSD is mounted, you will see SD drive on desktop (Ubuntu gives SD icon to eMMC).
systemd-analize result attached.

Now we need to find how to load new kernel from SSD with flashed kernel’s kexec :).
