Jetson Xavier-NX EMMC 16GB flashing issue

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Xavier NX

Hi,

I’m using Jetson NANO carrier board for Jetson XAVIER-NX. Jetson Xavier-NX module comes with EMMC option only (without SDcard slot). We are not able to flash through the SDK-Manager.

We have done the following steps:

  1. Place a jumper across the Force Recovery Mode pins (9 and 10) on the button header
    [J14].
  2. Connect your host computer to the developer kit’s USB Micro-B connector.
  3. Connect the power supply to the power jack [J16]. The developer kit automatically
    powers on in Force Recovery Mode.
  4. Remove the jumper from the Force Recovery Mode pins

Kindly help on this.

Below are the terminal output:

Hi,

Do you mean your NX module does not have a sdcard slot but only emmc?

4

yes.It has only emmc

Hi,

There are two problems here

  1. If you are using emmc based NX module, then you have to choose the non-devkit option in sdkmanager.

  2. I am not very sure if production NX module is able to run on Nano devkit. Please try (1) first.
