How to use nvidia sdk manger 1.9.3 to make the jetson orin NX start U disk, please describe the detailed process, method, interface operation steps, precautions, so that the start U disk can be successfully made;
Hi,
so you mean that you want your Orin NX to boot from an external USB drive?
I think our documentation for SDK Manager is clear enough:
https://docs.nvidia.com/sdk-manager/install-with-sdkm-jetson/index.html
Just make sure to select Manual Setup in Step 1, and USB in Step 5 as the storage device.
May I know if the USB drive should be plugged into the computer with SDK Manager or into Jetson Orin NX? I plugged the USB drive into Jetson Orin NX and encountered installation failed. After researching, I plugged the USB drive into the computer with SDK Manager, but still encountered installation failed. According to the terminal tab, it reported that /dev/sda was not found, but my USB drive is /dev/sdk1. How can I solve this problem?
Hi,
It should be plugged into your device.
Have you tried with a different USB drive?
I’ll try another USB drive on Jetson Orin NX and see if it works.
I have tried another USB drive plugged into Jetson Orin NX, but it still shows “installation failed”. Checking the terminal tab, the error output is as follows:

Hi,
can you also dump the UART log when the flashing process failed?
SDKM_logs_JetPack_5.1.1_(rev._1)_Linux_for_Jetson_Orin_NX_modules_2023-07-24_11-18-08.zip (226.5 KB)
No, I mean something like this:
This is a log exported from the terminal tab.
The flashing log is generated on the host, but we also need the UART log from the device.
by the way
1、Do I need to remove the SD card in order to burn the system onto a USB drive?
2、What file system should the USB drive be formatted as? Can it be formatted as exFAT?
You don’t need to do that.
If you want to format it before flashing, it should be formatted as ext4.
Does this mean that I can also not do u disk formatting before inserting U disk into jetson orin nx
Hi,
we’d recommend format the external storage device before flashing, as some users solve their flashing issue by doing so.
I temporarily cannot find the USB to serial port adapter cable. I will first format it as ext4 and then try it again

I jumped to recovery mode on Jetson Orin NX before powering on. Is this correct? When should I remove the jumper?
I have formatted the USB flash drive to ext4, but the problem still exists. The error message is the same
I will export the serial port log later.
