I think there are some misunderstand and mistakes here.

  1. jetson-nano-qspi config is to flash the QSPI-NOR on the module only. What is your exact module? Is it emmc based or sdcard based?

  2. “flash.sh” is not able to flash anything to your external drive. This tool can only tell the kernel where to load the file system. That is what “external” is doing. I wrote a post here to explain.
    Boot from external drive - #11

  3. Below error has nothing to explain. Just the board is not in recovery mode. You need to put it in RCM manually again.
    RCM can only has one time chance. For example, if you put a board in RCM, try to flash but fail, then you need to put the board into RCM again before your next flash command.


sudo ./flash.sh jetson-nano-qspi external
