Mass flash failure

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson AGX Orin

Hi,

I’m trying to use the mass flash method for flashing Ubuntu on the AGX Orin Devkit.

I’ve tried with an AGX Orin 32GB and a AGX Orin 64GB simultaneously and got ‘Maybe timeout in USB write’ for the 32GB. Could need a different USB cable so I put that aside for now, and tried from scratch (unpacking BSP, Ubuntu rootfs, create mfi package) with 1 AGX Orin 64GB Devkit only. sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --no-flash --network usb0 --massflash 5 jetson-agx-orin-devkit mmcblk0p1 exists fine, no problems, but when trying to flash this single AGX Orin 64GB I’m getting:

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --flash-only --network usb0 --massflash 5 --showlogs

Cleaning up...

I’ve followed the steps exactly as in Flashing Support — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation . Any idea how I can get past this error?

Also, is it possible to use initrd massflash for a 32GB AGX and 64GB mix or do they have to be 32GB or 64GB only? I’m using the online method when creating the mfi package.

Thanks

Hi AlexCo,

For Jetpack 6.0GA (R36.3.0), please use internal instead of mmcblk0p1 here.

Please use another terminal to run the commands.

You have to check the board spec to confirm if they are in the same compatible spec. As my understanding, they have different SKU so that you have create their own mfi package.

Thanks @KevinFFF , I’ve switched terminals, restarted the computer, also started with a new flashing setup from BSP archive to rootfs unpacking and issuing apply_binaries.sh. I’m still getting the error with duplicated export entries and the board won’t flash.

Interestingly, the failure is always reporting 127.0.0.1:/home/acotsach/work/simplehttp/36_3/agx64/Linux_for_Tegra/tools/kernel_flash/tmp even if I’m using a totally new and different path from where I trigger flashing. This path must have been saved somewhere on my PC and is being re-used since when I created the mfi package perhaps? I can’t find it anywhere in my env though

Is there any error when you were generating the mfi package?

Have you also tried to run them on another Ubuntu host PC?
