[L4T 35.5.0] Cannot burn fuses or flash SOM with new Micron DRAM (PCN212822)

Our team has been using the Orin Nano SOM on L4T 35.5.0.

We have been notified of a change to new Micron DRAM (as part of PCN212822), and have received these new SOMs as part of testing.

Basically we have to extract new BCT and DVFS files (t234-dram-package-35.0.0_2024-09-18.tbz2) to our “Linux_for_Tegra” folder, and then flash the SOM again with these files. In addition, we have fuses burned onto each SOM. I connected this Orin Nano SOM with new DRAM to our Linux PC with the Orin Nano Dev Kit, and attempted to run these commands:

  • tar -xvf t234-dram-package-35.5.0_2024-09-18.tbz2
  • sudo ./odmfuse.sh -i 0x23 -k rsa.pem -S sbk.key -X fuse.xml jetson-orin-nano-devkit
  • sudo ROOTFS_AB=1 ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh
    –network usb0
    -u rsa.pem -v sbk.key -i sym2_t234.key
    -p “-c ./bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml”
    –showlogs jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

Unfortunately, I am not able to burn the fuses on this SOM, and subsequently cannot flash the img either.

Is there a step that I am missing? I attached UART and terminal logs to this ticket. Please let me know if I am missing anything.

Please keep in mind, I switched out the SOM with an “old” SOM that does not have this new DRAM. I was able to burn fuses and flash the “old” SOM with the same hardware setup, so I do not think there is something wrong with my Linux PC, Dev Kit, or USB-C cable.

For PCN212822 samples, we will provide the overlay patch in Jetson PCN Download Center | NVIDIA Developer, that’s under internal SQA validation process now.

I have been using the overlay patch provided in that link.

It’s not working.

The overlay patch for PCN212822 hasn’t been published yet.

What is this file “t234-dram-package-35.5.0_2024-09-18.tbz2” for, then?
