Hi,

When we are trying to flash the L4T36.3.0, Jetpack6.0 on Jetson Orin NX module the process gets halt with the error message “Waiting for target to boot-up…
Timeout
Cleaning up…”

Below is the debug log and the host log
Debug_log_L4T36.3.0.txt (46.3 KB)
Host_log_L4T36.3.0.txt (289.3 KB)

we are using the custom carrier board.

Here are the specifics of my setup:
Jetson Orin NX device model: Jetson Orin NX 8GB module

Command used for flashing:
sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml -p “-c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml” --showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

Host Machine: Ubuntu 20.04

Please first confirm if this module is able to be flashed when attached to a DevKit board.

If your carrier board does not have EEPROM, make sure you have done the below update in the dtsi file , build it and reflash the board, as shown below (snippet from.the nvidia user guide documentation for 36.3 version)

Modifying the EEPROM

EEPROM is an optional component for a customized carrier board. When the carrier board is designed without an EEPROM, in the Linux_for_Tegra/bootloader/tegra234-mb2-bct-common.dtsi (the MB2 BCT file), make the following modification:

  • cvb_eeprom_read_size = <0x100> + cvb_eeprom_read_size = <0x0>
