Hello,

I’ve been trying to flash my jetson nano orin using the following equipment:

  • Jetson Nano Orin
  • Carrier board J401
  • Host PC w/ Ubuntu 18.04
  • USB to USB-C cable

I have the jumper to set the recovery mode. However, all the times I try to flash I have an error:
[ 0.0896 ] ERROR: might be timeout in USB write.
Error: Return value 3

Anyone has some suggestions of things to try?

Regards

Based on the provided context, I’ll offer a comprehensive answer to help you troubleshoot the issue with flashing your Jetson Nano Orin.

Error Analysis

The error message “00896 ERROR might be timeout in USB write Error Return value 3” suggests a USB-related issue during the flashing process. This error is similar to the one described in the context as “Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?” (Alert).

Possible Causes

  1. USB Cable Issue: The error message hints at a potential problem with the USB cable. Try using a different USB cable, as suggested in the context (Issue 4229251). Ensure that the cable is not damaged and is properly connected to both the host PC and the Jetson Nano Orin.
  2. USB Port Issue: The context mentions that flashing failures can occur when using a high-speed USB port (>= 10Gbps) (Issue 4695663). Try using a different USB port on your host PC, preferably a lower-speed port (e.g., USB 2.0).
  3. Host PC Configuration: The context mentions an issue with the qemu-user-static package on Ubuntu 18.04 Linux hosts (Issue 4357750). Ensure that this package is properly installed and configured on your host PC.
  4. Recovery Mode: You’ve mentioned that you have the jumper set to recovery mode. Double-check that the jumper is correctly set and that the Jetson Nano Orin is in recovery mode.

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Try using a different USB cable.
  2. Use a different USB port on your host PC.
  3. Verify that the qemu-user-static package is properly installed and configured on your host PC.
  4. Double-check the recovery mode jumper setting.
  5. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, try rebooting the host PC and retrying the flashing process.

Additional Information

The context provides information on various issues related to USB cables, USB ports, and host PC configurations. While these issues might not be directly related to your specific problem, they highlight the importance of ensuring that the USB connection and host PC configuration are correct.

By following these troubleshooting steps and considering the possible causes, you should be able to resolve the issue and successfully flash your Jetson Nano Orin.

Hello @marco.oliveira,

Can you try disabling usb auto suspend and re-trying the flash?

sudo -s echo -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend

Please let us know how it goes.

best regards,
