Is it possible to use nvme ssd that has been flashed successfully to use with other new jetson orin nano devices?

Hi, I have successfully flashed the jetson orin nano to the nvme ssd, it works fine, now when I plug that successfully flashed ssd into another jetson board it doesn’t work, why.

If you are using a brand new module, the modules has at least to be flashed with bootloader stuff so it boots up.
For JetPack 5:

sudo ./flash.sh --no-systemimg -c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

For JetPack 6:

sudo ./flash.sh --no-systemimg -c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

thank you, so after successfully flashing the new jetson device, is there any way to copy data from the old jetson ssd (environment, code…) to the new jetson ssd. Currently I have to copy manually and it takes a lot of time for many devices

You need this:

  • I tried following README_backup_restore.txt Workflow 3: To massflash the backup image,

  • It was very convenient to step “sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --use-backup-image --no-flash --network usb0 --massflash 2 jetson-orin-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1” (I accidentally set the x value to 2), here is the successful result reported: “Massflash package is generated at /home/myir/Videos/bootFromExternalStorage/R35.4.1/Linux_for_Tegra/mfi_jetson-orin-nano-devkit.tar.gz
    Success
    Cleaning up…
    Finish generating flash package.
    Put device in recovery mode, run with option --flash-only to flash device.”

  • I did the next step, put the new Jetson device into recovery mode and ran the command “sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --flash-only --massflash 2 --network usb0” (with x = 2, I also tried x = 1 but it also failed), here is the error:
    “/home/myir/Videos/bootFromExternalStorage/R35.4.1/Linux_for_Tegra/tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash_internal.sh --network usb0 --usb-instance 3-9 --device-instance 0 --flash-only --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1

This is currently not officially supported.
Check this patch:

Anyway, you don’t ask all unrelated stuff in the same topic.
You need to file a new topic for this.
