How to flash NVMe with Jetson Linux 36.3

[daniel2008_12]

Hi

I have sucessfully flashed Jetson Linux 36.2 following Quick Start — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation

But when I want to re-install/flash Jetson Linux 36.3, I found that the tegra_linux_sample-root-filesystem_r36.3.0_aarch64.tbz2 is quite different from Tegra_Linux_Sample-Root-Filesystem_R36.2.0_aarch64.tbz2

There is no tools dir nor apply_binaries.sh, just a zipped file system. Any idea?

$ tar xf ${L4T_RELEASE_PACKAGE}
$ sudo tar xpf ${SAMPLE_FS_PACKAGE} -C Linux_for_Tegra/rootfs/
$ cd Linux_for_Tegra/
$ sudo ./apply_binaries.sh
$ sudo ./tools/l4t_flash_prerequisites.sh
$ 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

BTW, SDK manager need so much resources, such as 8GB RAM, 1440x??? resolution. Install a linux system, a cmdline tool should be enough. GUI tools, with that kind of resource request, is nonsense, especially for embedded area.

They are packed in Jetson_Linux_R36.3.0_aarch64.tbz2.
Of course you don’t get these when you only extract the rootfs archive…

Thanks, it should be BSP package.

I have met a problem which was NOT as before. How can I set passwd? Or just copy from my linux system???

$ sudo ./apply_binaries.sh
Using rootfs directory of: /home/daniel/Jetson/Linux_for_Tegra/rootfs

EDIT: I got it, need to unzip the filesystem.
