Issue Flashing JetPack 5.1.2 on Jetson AGX Xavier with 1TB NVMe

Hello,

I have a Jetson AGX Xavier with a 1TB NVMe that has been working correctly for over 8 months. However, lately, I’ve been experiencing driver errors, and as a result, I would like to reinstall JetPack 5.1.2 on the device.

I’ve tried flashing the Jetson using SDK Manager from two different hosts with Ubuntu 20.04, but I haven’t been able to complete the process due to errors in the logs. I’ve attached the error logs for reference so that you can help me diagnose the issue.

Additionally, I have verified that the host detects the Jetson correctly using the lsusb command. I’ve also attached a screenshot showing the output. The Jetson is in recovery mode during the process.

Error Logs:

SDKM_logs_JetPack_5.1.2_Linux_for_Jetson_AGX_Xavier_2024-11-27_14-15-38.zip (251.3 KB)

lsusb Output:

jetson0

I would appreciate any guidance or solutions on how to proceed with flashing JetPack or if there is an alternative method to reinstall the operating system and drivers.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Manuel Parra

There was a solution from other users for this. You could try it first and run SDK manager again.

Thanks

Thank you for your response. I’ve tried the solutions mentioned in the linked topics, but the issue persists when flashing. I also ran the command: sudo apt-get remove tlp

However, tlp wasn’t installed, so that doesn’t seem to be the source of the problem. According to the logs, the error seems to be related to the ECID. Could you please provide further guidance on how to resolve this?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I see. Then I have a few questions for further verification:

  1. Is your AGX Xavier a dev kit or a custom carrier board?
  2. Is your Ubuntu 20.04 running on a physical machine or a virtual machine (e.g., VirtualBox, VMware, WSL)?

Thanks

Thank you for your follow-up questions.

-My AGX Xavier is a dev kit.
-Ubuntu 20.04 is running on a physical machine.

Additionally, I’ve already tested flashing with another host on a different physical machine, and the same error occurs.

Let me know if you need any more details.

Hi,
Here are some suggestions you might try:

  1. Install JetPack 5.1.4 using the SDK Manager.

  2. Perform a manual flash. - related doc

    Go to the directory ~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_5.1.2_Linux_JETSON_AGX_XAVIER_TARGETS/Linux_for_Tegra/ and execute the following commands:

    sudo ./apply_binaries.sh
sudo ./tools/l4t_flash_prerequisites.sh
sudo ./flash.sh jetson-agx-xavier-devkit internal

Thanks
