How to flash UEFI firmware uefi_jetson.bin

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Orin Nano

Hi NV,

I work on JP5.1.1, Orin nano device.
I refer to this document, Build with docker · NVIDIA/edk2-nvidia Wiki · GitHub
and recompile the UEFI firmware of JP5.1.1
I replace the compiled uefi_Jetson_RELEAE.bin in the bootloader directory of the image folder and rename it to uefi_jetson.bin.

flash system image:
$ sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --flash-only

1，I found that the version number of the UEFI firmware has not changed, it has always been:
Jetson UEFI firmware (version 3.1-32827747 built on 2023-03-19T14:56:32+00:00)

2，What’s even more strange is that I deleted the uefi_jetson.bin file in the bootloader directory and used the command: $ sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --flash-only to re-flash the system image, which also succeeded and the system can boot normally.

How to flash UEFI firmware on JP5.1.1 and Orin nano devices?

Hi future.wang,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for Orin Nano?

It’s the wrong command to update UEFI only.
Please use the following command instead.

$ sudo ./flash.sh -k A_cpu-bootloader -c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml jetson-orin-nano-devkit nvme0n1p1

Hi Kevin，

Use this cmd to flash UEFI：
$ sudo ./flash.sh -k A_cpu-bootloader -c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml jetson-orin-nano-devkit nvme0n1p1

Hi Kevin，

Use the command you gave to re-flash the old version（Jetson UEFI firmware (version 3.1-32827747 built on 2023-03-19T14:56:32+00:00)） that can start normally, and the startup failure error also occurred

I/TC: This is only for TZ-SE testing and should NOT be used for a shipping product!
