Based on the provided information, it appears that you are experiencing issues with flashing your Jetson Orin Nano Devkit using SDKManager.

Firstly, let’s confirm that your device is supported by SDKManager. According to the provided information, the Jetson Orin Nano Devkit is supported by SDKManager, and it can be flashed using the jetson-orin-nano-devkit or jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super configuration.

Since you mentioned that your device was able to update the firmware but not able to flash using SDKManager, it’s possible that there might be an issue with the flashing process or the configuration used.

Here are a few potential solutions you can try:

  1. Check the configuration used: Ensure that you are using the correct configuration for your device. As mentioned earlier, the Jetson Orin Nano Devkit supports jetson-orin-nano-devkit or jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super configuration. Try using the jetson-orin-nano-devkit configuration and see if it resolves the issue.

  2. Verify the flashing command: Make sure that you are using the correct flashing command. The provided information shows examples of flashing commands for different configurations. For example, to flash the Jetson Orin Nano Devkit with an SD card, you can use the following command:

    $ sudo ./flash.sh jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

    Replace internal with the actual location of your SD card.

  3. Check the device’s power budget: Ensure that your device’s power budget is set correctly. The Jetson Orin Nano Devkit supports different power budgets, including 10W, 7W, and 25W. Try setting the power budget to 10W or 25W and see if it resolves the issue.

  4. Try flashing with a different method: If SDKManager is not working, you can try flashing your device using a different method, such as using the l4t_initrd_flash.sh script. This script is used to flash the device directly and can be useful for troubleshooting purposes.

  5. Contact NVIDIA support: If none of the above solutions work, you can contact NVIDIA support for further assistance. They can help you troubleshoot the issue and provide more detailed guidance on how to resolve it.

In terms of technical support, I recommend providing more detailed information about your device and the issue you are experiencing. This can include:

  • The exact error message you are seeing
  • The configuration used for flashing
  • The power budget set for your device
  • Any other relevant details about your device and the issue

By providing more information, you can help NVIDIA support better understand your issue and provide more effective guidance on how to resolve it.

Hi,

Some questions to confirm,

  • Is your ubuntu a navtive or a virtual machine?
  • What is your ubuntu version?
  • What is your target bsp version?

Please try changing other flashing cable to check if issue exist and make sure device in recovery mode using lsusb.

Thanks

Hi @DavidDDD @carolyuu

I’m using native ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

target bsp version? “I am using BSP L4T R36.2.0 (JetPack 6.0 GA).”

I tried both SDKManager and terminal commend run, but both did not work well.

Here is my previous article.

Hi,

Some steps you could follow:

  • Please use lsusb to make sure the device in recovery mode as official guide show.
  • Please flash with r36.5 to cross check whether the issue exists.
  • Please try to change other flashing cable.
  • Is you device fused?

Thanks
