Initial flash failed on new TX2 module

Hello,

We are flashing new TX2 modules with a massflash blob.
nvmflash does flash correctly all partitions.

But we have one module that fails with the following error.
As if some partition was not correctly flashed:

*** Boot Rom communication

Here’s the serial line output:

Thank you for your help.

How many modules been flashed successfully?
Only one moduel got this problme, all the rest are OK?
If yes, suggest to do the RMA or contact with distributor to do the swap.

Yes all other did succeed.
We will do the RMA for this one.

Thanks for your feedback

Hi @kayccc ,

We now have two models more that fail with same error.
We tested the module on a devkit and put it in recovery mode, nothing shows on serial line when flashing.

Kind regards,

Tanguy

Failure rate?
Please contact with distributor to do the swap.

Thanks

Hi @TANGUY.MEZZANO

May I know which JetPack/L4T SW veraion your flashed?
We need to exclude that’s related with the PCN 206440 .

Hi @kayccc

We are using L4T 32.3.1 and L4T 32.6.1.
The problem was PCN 206440, we were not aware of it.
And there was sadly no L4T 32.3.2 with that correction.

Problem solved, thank you.
