Jetson AGX Xavier suddenly does not boot

My Jetson AGX Xavier with jetpack 5.1.5 does not boot: when I press power button the power led flashes white, cooler launches but monitor stays black and receives no signal from Jetson. I don’t want to loose the data I have on formatting won’t work for me. Last time when Jetson was working I have installed few libraries, mainly related to XCB (say libxcb*). Is there any way to fix it without formatting and losing data? Say enter recovery mode and find out what prevents my Jetson from booting.

Hi,

You could refer to this section Flashing Support — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide.

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --initrd <board-name> <rootdev>

Above command will help you enter as a root.
You could mount the APP partition or follow the section to clone your rootfs.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for response! I guess flashing with initrd is not what I am searching for. I have updates:
I have tried to access using ssh connecting my Xavier to host via ethernet cable but it has no IP address. But I am able to access and log in on Xavier from host using serial console (screen /dev/ttyUSB3 115200). I believe there must be a way to restore the system without reflashing.

Hi,

Above commands will not erase your rootfs, just let you enter as a root.
You could do backup before try mentioned commands to avoid any concern.

Thanks
