Issue with flashing an NVMe ssd with initrd

per.edwardsson · August 6, 2021, 2:16pm

Having some issues flashing my Jetson AGX Xavier with a newly installed NVMe SSD, a Kingston A2000 250Gb. Following steps have been performed, all on host computer:

Download root file system and driver package from https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/linux-tegra
Untar filesystem into rootfs folder with sudo
Install secureboot according to https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/l4t-archived/l4t-3261/index.html#page/Tegra%20Linux%20Driver%20Package%20Development%20Guide/bootloader_secure_boot.html#wwpID0E0CH0HA
sudo apply_binaries.sh
Start editing the partition config xml, then noticing that most of it is fine since APPSIZE can be changed when calling l4t_initrd_flash.sh. However, I did update the sector_size (512) and num_sectors (488315215) to match the SSD. Placed them in flash_l4t_nvme_hugo.xml.
Run sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 -c ./tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_nvme_hugo.xml -S 245GiB --showlogs jetson-xavier nvme0n1p1
It runs fine for a while, then produces the following rather unhelpful message:

What am I doing wrong? It looks like APP partition is a problem. Did I misinterpret the sector size? Or the number of sectors? The difference between the expected and actual is not a multiple of 512, so it looks very confusing to me. Happy to receive help here, thanks.

With sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 -c ./tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_nvme_hugo.xml -S 200GiB --showlogs jetson-xavier nvme0n1p1 I got past that line, but the same error persists.

edit 2:
May have found a bug. Since bootloader/omdsign.func exists, the flash script attempts to source it and run some function called get_image_folder(), which doesn’t exist, and so it returns nothing. This creates the double slash in the error above. It’s looking for a file called flash.idx, which is located at bootloader/signed/flash.idx. Making sure that the flash script could find this file, it proceeded further, but could not complete. Final step found below.

Finish generating flash package.

What now?

Can you try to put the board in recovery mode and try again?

For the -S you should put a value that is about 10GB fewer than the total SSD size. The error you encounter is because the -S is too big. The value you choose for -S partition should accomodate the APP partition and other partitions on the SSD also. Also -S params use gibibyte, so 245 gib is around 264 gigabyte

For the get_image_dir bug, I am guessing that your secure boot package is not from 32.6.1
Please download secure boot package from 32.6.1 from https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/linux-tegra

lhoang · August 6, 2021, 7:51pm

You can download 32.6.1 secureboot from here.
https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/l4t/r32_release_v6.1/t186/secureboot_r32.6.1_aarch64.tbz2

Thanks for the links. I removed the existing Linux_for_Tegra folder and extracted new, fresh copies to install the new version of secureboot.

Let me make sure I am not doing something crazy here: All I’m really trying to do is use the NVMe SSD as the main rootfs on the Jetson as we need more space. I am not looking to apply any fuses at this moment. Am I doing the right thing here?

Anyway, new week, new weird errors. Much earlier than before. Input command ison top line, output right below.

Not sure what to do next. Like I said, not interested in applying fuses here - do I need to use initrd in order to boot from NVMe?

WayneWWW · August 9, 2021, 7:33am

Did you prepare the rootfs by yourself? Did you run apply_binaries.sh after you copy the rootfs?

There is no need to use initrd flash to just boot from NVMe. But this is the only tool that can “flash” the NVMe. Other methods require you to move the files to NVMe manually.

per.edwardsson · August 9, 2021, 7:37am

Forgot apply_binaries.sh. Thank you.

Okay, but no security measures need to be enabled, right? I don’t want to brick my unit by activating something I don’t know how to work with.

WayneWWW · August 9, 2021, 7:38am

No, no security settings needed.

per.edwardsson · August 9, 2021, 7:51am

Aaand we’re back. Now back to previous errors. Communication error, it seems. Log didn’t fit in this post, see https://pastebin.com/uve5J03a.

per.edwardsson · August 9, 2021, 11:10am

Rebooting into recovery and replugging did the job. However, the Jetson seems unable to mount the external disk. Plugging in an HDMI to the Jetson, it stops after

Root device found: nvme0n1p1
Found dev node: /dev/nvme0n1p1
/mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nvme0n1p1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
ERROR: nvme0n1p1 mount fail...
bash-4.4#

Yikes. Any ideas?

per.edwardsson · August 9, 2021, 2:17pm

Retrying by creating image with --no-flash, then rebooting and replugging the Jetson, then running the same script with --flash-only seems to have done the trick. Thanks for the help.
