Issue with Reflashing Jetson AGX Orin to JetPack 6.2: Error During Flash Process (The connected Jetson device is not ready for flash)

[o.syed.mazhar]

Hi,

I have recently purchased a “Jetson AGX Orin 64GB developer kit” and it comes with Jetpack 5.1.2. However, I need Jetpack 6.2 to develop on ubuntu 22.04.

Details:
Jetson: Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB developer kit
current Jetpack: 5.1.2 in jetson
Need: Jetpack 6.2
Host PC: Ubuntu 22.04
sdk manager: 2.2.0

Steps followed to reflash jetson:

1. Installed sdkmanager 2.2.0 (tried all options, one by one i.e. Local repo, network repo and Docker Image)
2. Putting the jetson on recovery mode manually and connecting jetson to the host pc with the provided cable.
3. Reflashing process followed as described in this link: Install Jetson Software with SDK Manager — SDK Manager
4. All the packages were downloaded and installed properly and once I click Flash. It gives the following error on the SDK manager (image below)
   
   

I did follow the procedure provided in the image above multiple times and also checked with different data transferring cables, changing host pc, reinstalling sdk manager, redownloading all packages as well. Still the same error!

6. After this error. I skipped the process and exported the log files (please find below log file and the error in the logs is reproducible)

7. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue and successfully reflashing the Jetson with JetPack 6.2.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Hi,

The device is in recovery mode
Please download Driver Package (BSP) and Sample Root Filesystem from Jetson Linux | NVIDIA Developer.
And follow the Quick Start — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide to flash your device again.

Thanks

Hi,

I followed the steps and it did not flash. I have pasted the output of the terminal into a file (see below). I also tried using a different data transfer cable.

I tried flashing with eMMC with the following command: sudo ./flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit internal

File: terminal_output.log (12.3 KB)

Please let me know if you require any further details.

Hi,

I did manage to flash the Jetson with Jetpack 6.2.

The main issue was “ERROR: might be timeout in USB write.”

Solution:

1. All I had to do was to disable the “autosuspend” with the following command: “sudo bash -c ‘echo -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend’”

2. Turn off the jetson and connect to the host machine. Then, put it to recovery mode.

3. Execute the command to flash from “Quick Start” guide (link in the earlier chats) for Jetson-AGX-Orin i.e. “sudo ./flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit internal”.

Thanks for the help!
