Mass Setup of Jetson Orin Nano with SSD drive

I am setting up a group of jetson orin nano’s for a graduate class. The SSD drives are in, but the computers are slowly coming in. I am using a stand alone ubuntu 22.04 system to setup the SSD with the SDK Wizard. Can I create all of the SSD drives before the Jetson Orin Nano’s come in or do I have to wait until the actual computers come in. I noticed that if I plug in a SSD that was setup on a Jetson Orin Nano into a new computer, it does not boot. Is there a recommended practice to set this up? I want the systems to be identical for the class. The students would not have access to a stand alone linux system to run the wizard on their own.

Hi nbeser1,

It is expected since there’s QSPI in the module including the bootloader and several partitions so that you have to flash each module once.
You can refer to Orin Nano QSPI Flash Only - #4 by KevinFFF to flash QSPI only for the Orin Nano devkit.

You can also refer to Workflow 7: Initrd Massflash in <Linux_for_Tegra>/tools/kernel_flash/README_initrd_flash.txt for your use case to flash multiple devices.
