I am flashing a Orin NX 8G from Jetpack 5.1.1 to Jetpack 6.2,
it failed with some USB or rcm_state related error.
SDKM_logs_JetPack_6.2_Linux_for_Jetson_Orin_NX_8GB_2025-03-25_15-31-35.zip (157.7 KB)
I tried using SDK manager or command line on ubuntu 20.04 / 22.04 all received the same results.
USB 2.0 is working fine and target Orin NX was put in recovery mode successfully.
Hi,
Some questions to confirm:
Thanks
Hi David,
I am using native ubuntu and NX Dev Kit.
just solved the issue by Disable autosuspend on host PC with below command:
sudo -s
echo -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
referring to another post.
the other question to you:
I am trying to put NX in SUPER mode, from command script flashing, there’s option to enable:
sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1
-c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_t234_nvme.xml -p “-c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml”
–showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super internal
however, by SDK Manager there’s no such option, how to enable SUPER mode if I flash NX using SDK Manager?
Hi,
SDK manager default will use the jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super config and enable the super mode
Thanks
Flashed Orin NX 8G to L4T R36.4.3, set power mode to MAXN, however GPU frequency is till Maximized at 765MHz instead of 1.2GHz.
also in nvpmodel.conf
< POWER_MODEL ID=3 NAME=20W >
I didn’t see
< POWER_MODEL ID=4 NAME=40W >
what other configuration I need to change?
Hi,
Apologies for mislead.
With internal team discussion, current sdkm not support it.
Please download Driver Package (BSP) and Sample Root Filesystem from Jetson Linux | NVIDIA Developer.
And follow the Quick Start — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide to setup
and execute flash command below:
sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 -p "-c ./bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" -c ./tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_t234_nvme.xml --showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super external
Also, Do you execute sudo jetson_clocks before stress test?
Thanks
Hi @DavidDDD
yes, did jetson_clocks after flashing and Orin NX 16G GPU frequency tops at 918 MHz.
using command script, still failed with below messages:
adv@adv-Default-string:~/Downloads/Linux_for_Tegra$ sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 -p “-c ./bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml” -c ./tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_t234_nvme.xml --showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super external

Cleaning up…
the last parameter should be internal or external on Orin NX?
I tried both failed.
or any other way I can enable SUPER mode with current L4T 36.4.3 ?
is the failure caused by 5V VDD_IN ?
Just to clarify this first. Is your host PC able to flash the same board if you run the command manually but with non-super config file?
Basically this flash is just same thing with different board config. For normal one, use the one that has no “-super” in the config name.
