Hello!

I want to upgrade by Jetson Orin NX 16 Gb Dev Kit to Jetpack 6.2.

My board is from Yahboom (Developer Kit): NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Super Developer Kit for Depth Learning ROS Robot
I have Jetson UEFT firmware (version 5.0-35550185 built on 2024-02-20T04:21:22+00:00) - this from boot screen info.

Dump-slots-info command show this:
$ sudo nvbootctrl dump-slots-info
Current version: 35.5.0
…

According to the doc - JetPack SDK | NVIDIA Developer I have to install Jetpack 6.2 through the “NVIDIA SDK Manager Method”, right?
I should install SDK Manager on host Ubuntu machine and connect Jetson via USB cable?

Question is: my UEFT firmware version 5.0-35550185 is fits for this process?

Because according to the doc - 🚀 Initial Setup Guide - Jetson Orin Nano - NVIDIA Jetson AI Lab
and this - Provisioning Jetson Orin | balena version on board should be version > 36.0.

But I have 5.0-35550185 and 35.5.0, this difference in numbers is confusing…

Can you help with this?

Please make a tutorial for upgrade Jetson Orin NX 16 Gb to Jetpack 6.2. like you did for Jetson Orin.

Thank you!

Hello

Doing the process with SDK Manager is easier, first connect the USB C, make the jumper of the pins and finally connect the power.

And the following steps follow the manual.

After the installation it is possible that it gets stuck when installing some packages, disconnect it and connect the board via ethernet to make it quicker.

Thank you for answer!
But question was about UEFT version. I do not complete understand…
This process with SDK Manager upgrade version of board from 35.5.0 to 36.x?

Right?

When you update, the firmware is also updated and the card works without problems.

Hello!

Can you help?

I am flashing my board via SDK manager.
The jumper is installed between pins 9 and 10.
The first steps are going well.
On the third step, the actual flashing, an error appears and this window.
I have changed three USB cables, they are all of good quality, I have tried to insert them into different USB ports. Nothing helps…
The USB speed in the UTM virtual machine was set to 2.0 and 3.0. Nothing helps. The same window with an error appears.

What virtual machine should I use for flashing? I used UTM with Ubuntu 22.
I have a Mac computer (Intel cpu), I do not have access to the Windows PC.

What do you recommend?

Hello

I leave the jumper on during the whole installation.

I use a UGREEN cable and no problems.

I did have to use a “normal” computer with Ubuntu to avoid connection problems.

I use a Mac with ARM and it didn’t let me install the SDK on it.

Than you JorgeLdeJesus for advice!

I ordered a thicker and shorter branded cable. Let’s see if it works…
I’ll try another virtual machine, maybe it will help.
Yes, I understand that “normal” Ubuntu would work better, but I don’t have it.

Thanks!

It seem I to have successfully flashed my board using the SDK manager.

I did this just by run a LiveCD with Ubuntu 22 on my Mac, directly without virtual machine. I used the same USB cable, it’s not the cable problem.

The installation complete successful, but in the terminal tab was showing a bunch of errors…

It is this normal? Or something went wrong?

36.4.3-geid-38968081

Now it has version 36.4.3-geid-38968081.

But I don’t see the MAXN SUPER item in the menu on the top left, the old items are still there.

Do I need to do something else to activate the new item?
