Jetson Orin AGX does not finish initial setup after reflash

[amast]

Hello,

I am using ubuntu 20.04 and sdkmanager 1.9.2 and I tried to flash the latest jetspack 5.1.1 using the preconfig and the runtime options from the sdkmanager. Flashing finished successfully and I plugged in my display, keyboard & mouse to the Orin device to finish the setup.

I followed the steps for the final configuration but it just hangs and I cannot finish the final step.

If I reboot the Orin device, the wizard starts again from the beginning until the same step again without finishing the setup.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Thanasis

Hi,

you mean you get stuck at setting stuff like username upon boot?
Can you try creating default users and flash with the flash.sh to skip initial setup upon boot?

Run following commands inside Linux_for_Tegra:

sudo ./tools/l4t_create_default_user.sh -u <username> -p <password>
sudo ./flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit internal

Hi,

Thank you for your answer, I followed the two steps that you suggested and completed the flashing process, i.e.:

[ 1030.5770 ] Coldbooting the device
[ 1030.5821 ] tegrarcm_v2 --chip 0x23 0 --ismb2
[ 1030.5863 ] MB2 version 01.00.0000
[ 1030.7611 ] Coldbooting the device
[ 1030.7658 ] tegrarcm_v2 --chip 0x23 0 --reboot coldboot
[ 1030.7698 ] MB2 version 01.00.0000
*** The target t186ref has been flashed successfully. ***
Reset the board to boot from internal eMMC.

When I rebooted I saw the nvidia logo for a few seconds and then nothing. What I mentioned in my previous post about flashing Jetson Orin from the SDKmanager is that I set the device in recovery mode, I select it and I choose to flash the image in runtime, as presented bellow:

Flashing finishes successfully

and then I reboot. What I get is the following:

1

2

3

4

5

After finishing the wizard, there is nothing that I can do in the device, reboot, shut down etc.

Any help would be much appreciated because I have tested everything…

Many thanks,
Thanasis

Hi,

so is is what you got after running the scripts for creating user accounts? Did you flash it with flash.sh?
Why are you giving screenshots of SDK Manager here?

I followed the two steps that you suggested and completed the flashing process, i.e.:

At the beginning of my reply I mentioned that I followed the 2 steps that you suggested.

1 sudo ./tools/l4t_create_default_user.sh -u -p
2 sudo ./flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit internal

this is the last part of the logs:

[ 1030.5770 ] Coldbooting the device
[ 1030.5821 ] tegrarcm_v2 --chip 0x23 0 --ismb2
[ 1030.5863 ] MB2 version 01.00.0000
[ 1030.7611 ] Coldbooting the device
[ 1030.7658 ] tegrarcm_v2 --chip 0x23 0 --reboot coldboot
[ 1030.7698 ] MB2 version 01.00.0000
*** The target t186ref has been flashed successfully. ***
Reset the board to boot from internal eMMC.

When I rebooted, I saw the nvidia logo for a few seconds and then nothing.
You asked me in your post where I get stuck and I also replied to this question with the screenshots.

Thanks,

Oh, I see, but that still seems weird.

So you are still required to go through the setup wizard after creating default users, and the system got stuck after you completed the setup wizard?

Are you able to login through UART afterwards?

Yes I can, I am attaching the logs in txt.
There is one error:

ERROR: PARTUUID=f51a5ef5-1ad0-404b-aed1-a6d25afb80f3 mount fail…

and many times the following message:

[ 13.050946] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): ext4_check_descriptors: Checksum for group 320 failed (31046!=5875)
[ 13.060365] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): group descriptors corrupted!

Hi,

sorry for the late reply.

Looks like the file system in the eMMC storage is corrupted,
and can you try to use a USB drive or NVMe SSD in case you have one?
