Jetson Orin Nano: Normal board or DevKit? And what does it mean?

I own a Jetson Orin Nano DevKit B01 - SSD, no SD-card.
UEFI-Firmware 4.1-33958178
image
When I try to update the qspi with
sudo apt-get install nvidia-l4t-jetson-orin-nano-qspi-updater
it always errors out with the message that this is command is only for DevKits 0005.

This made me realise that the jtop says p-number 0003 (JON 8GB) NOT 0005 (DevKit 8GB).

Question: What does this mean? Do I have less functionality with a 0003?
How do I go to 36 when I cannot update the qspi?
sdkmanager does not work for me. It detects a 0003, but errors out when the transfer of the image starts.

Any suggestions welcome.

You said no SD-card. The dev kit Orin Nano has an SD card slot on the bottom of the module itself (not the carrier board). There is a huge difference in boot setup for a model that has eMMC (and possibly an SD card on the carrier board, but not on the module). If your Orin Nano model has eMMC, then it is definitely not a dev kit. QSPI use and availability differs between a dev kit and an eMMC model.

FYI, some dev kits have eMMC, but they are the AGX models; Nano models in each generation do not have eMMC. Modules normally have QSPI, but how it is used (if at all) on an AGX is much different than that of a Nano or NX.

Incidentally, if you are flashing to an SSD, then you’d also need the initrd flash, not the regular flash (if you ignore the SSD, and only use it for extra storage at some mount point, then you don’t need an initrd flash).

Someone from NVIDIA might be able to tell you what the specifics are of your model.
