Hi kayccc,

thanks for your response. Here is my problem in a separate topic.

11:43:00 SUMMARY: Flash Jetson AGX Xavier - flash: First Error: Installation failed.

Host is an Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (no VM).

Device was bought at Auvidea (product: X221-AI-AGX32-128GB). Unfortunately the recommended flashing process from their homepage failed with the same error “CPU Bootloader is not running on device”.

So my guess was to repartition the NVMe and reflash with vanilla/unmodified JetPack 4.6.
I tried to install on NVMe. Which shows me around 50 to 60 GBs left (size is 128GB). So I guess there is already software installed on it but it doesn’t boot.

Steps to reproduce:

  • sdkmanager started
  • Jetson AGX Xavier and JetPack 4.6.2 chosen
  • password set
  • Manual setup and Pre-Config chosen
  • username and password set
  • Storage device set to NVMe

You find the full information in the attached zip file.

Thanks in advance.

All the best,
Stefan

Please contact Auvidea first to know whether their board can directly flash with sdkamanger or not.
