Jetson Orin Nano Flash failing when using SDK manager

[subbireddy36]

I am trying to flash my Jetson Orin Nano device using SDK manager with Nvme SSD attached. But it is failing after reaching 47% status in flashing. Here is the screen shot.

I have also tried after removing /etc/exports but there is no success.

Try to disable firewall setting on your host.

Tried with Disabling Firewall “sudo ufw disable”. Still the same issue. Attaching new logs

Hi,

Is your storage using a SD card?
Do you format the SD card to ext4 before flashing?

Thanks

Hi @subbireddy36,

Have you try using the flash script? You can test using the following steps:

1. Export a variable to the BSP folder. Sdkmanager should download this, if not you can download it from NVIDIA Jetson Linux 36.4 page at Driver Package (BSP) link.

export DEVDIR=$HOME/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_6.0_Linux_JETSON_AGX_ORIN_TARGETS/Linux_for_Tegra

2. Execute the apply binaries and flash prerequisites scripts:

cd $DEVDIR
sudo ./apply_binaries.sh
sudo ./tools/l4t_flash_prerequisites.sh

3. Create a default username (optional):

sudo ./tools/l4t_create_default_user.sh -u <user_name> -p <password>

4. Put the board in recovery mode.

5. Flash the device:

sudo ./flash.sh <target_board> nvme0n1

Also you can check this wiki for flashing JetPack 6 from the cmdline: NVIDIA JetPack 6 Flashing the Board from Cmdline
