Jetpack 5.1.4 install

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Xavier NX

I tried to boot my Xavier NX from an sd card with 5.1.4, and I got the error: Failed to start End-user configuration after initial OEM installation.

Any suggestions? I previously used a boot sd card with Jetpack 5.0.1, I think.

Added: I tried running the sdkmanager on an external host, and to my surprise it recognized the XNX as having a broken Jetpack 5.1.4 installation, and offered to repair it. I tried that several times, and it did not work. I was eventually able to uninstall 5.1.4 and install Jetpack 6.0 DP rev2! What’s the deal with that? I thought that Jetpack 6.0 was now in full release, and not supporting the Xavier NX. Is there going to be a full release for the Xavier NX? Will I be able to run Jetson Platform Services and all the other 6.0 goodies?

Hi,

I feel this story is as weird as you think. Xavier NX is not able to run on Jetpack6.0.

As your comment sounds like you are actually a newbie to sdkmanager, I would suggest you can just try to flash the board again with uart serial console log enabled. (below page for reference)

Dump the log during flash and attach it here.

You are right, I am an sdkmanager newbie. I thought that I would have to put the Xavier NX in recovery mode, and I don’t even know how to do that. Now that I have Jetpack6 running, wouldn’t I rather keep it than go back to 5.1.4?
Except it is not really Jetpack 6.0. Running hostnamectl says it is Ubuntu 20.04, Linux 5.10.216-tegra. /etc/nv_tegra_release says it is R35. Running sudo apt-cache show nvidia-jetpack says it is version 5.1.4-b17.

Then that sounds a jetpack5.1.4. Not jetpack6.

For your question, please read the devkit user guide here. Use a jumper to short Pins 9 and 10 on J14 to put the board into recovery mode.
