The Jetpack 4.6 Flashing script will fail with the following when NO_ROOTFS is set to 1.

Could you share the full command you are using?

rdesai1 · October 26, 2021, 10:54pm

./flash.sh cti/xavier-nx/quark/base mmcblk1p1

and I set the following environment variables

NO_ROOTFS = 1
NO_RECOVERY_IMG = 1

Will you hit this error is you only set NO_ROOTFS=1?

rdesai1 · October 27, 2021, 9:53pm

Yes

WayneWWW · October 28, 2021, 2:54am

That is weird, we didn’t hit such issue when we enable NO_ROOTFS.

What is the python version you are using on host?

rdesai1 · November 1, 2021, 5:47pm

Seems like people were running into this same issue with other Jetpacks: Unable to flash bootloader without flashing the system.img?

We are using Python 3.6

WayneWWW · November 2, 2021, 2:42am

please move to python2.7 first since 3.6 is not yet supported.

rdesai1 · November 2, 2021, 8:34pm

This issue is python version independent. The tegrarcm utility isn’t reading that Environment variable correctly

WayneWWW · November 3, 2021, 2:19am

Yes, but we cannot reproduce your issue on our side.

So you better use our suggested environment first and see if you would still see issue.

Also, do you have nano devkit environment? We don’t have cti board so it is not possible for us to use same command as your side.
