I have just installed a 500GB SATA SSD on the Jetson TX1 board and I was trying to flash the OS and install every development tool on it (instead of installing on the default eMMC flash). I was pretty sure the Jetpack-2.3 would include a way of doing this. I thought this was a standard development setup (the acrylic enclosure I purchased even came with a support for the ssd).
Sadly, I couldn’t find a standard way of doing this.
This thread is too long and confusing I could’t follow it.
I followed demotomohiro instructions on this thread but that led to a ubuntu screen saying graphic drivers were missing, so I said “use default drivers” and then the only thing I could see was the pointer appearing and disappearing every 2 seconds.
In any case, I consider this solution too dirty for me. I’m starting from scratch, the eMMC is empty. What is the process (step by step) that will lead me to a clean Jetson TX1 booting L4T from the SSD?
If you guys could help me out, I would be truly grateful.
Im working on the same thing but have a m.2 its a bit of a pickle. Be careful or your repos get dup errors all over the place on TX1-64 from Jetpack-2.3
That’s pretty much what I did last time. I’m gonna retry it since you summed it up in 3 steps.
A little doubt so far. As I have installed L4T using the Jetpack 2.3, the rootfs folder is on my host machine, so I need to do scp. Also, I never used sync but I guess I should run in on the TX1.
Then you say “with binary driver applied”, I guess Jetpack did that for me already. I’m just copying the folder located at:
I did it with the rootfs I found on the Jetpack install dir and didn’t work out. I ended up in a booting loop. I was having the boot screen setting registers and all of the sudden: “Restarting in 30 seconds”. Then it reboots and that so on.
