MAXN Super mode on custom carrier board Jetson Orin Nano 8GB, manual flash problem

Today I booted my Jetson Orin Nano the first time and noticed that those new super modes are missing.
(Using Seedstudio carrier board)

After some research I figured that those modes are only available with the dev kit on SDKmanager.
So I need to flash manually.

When trying to flash I was following this guide
https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r35.3.1/DeveloperGuide/text/IN/QuickStart.html#to-determine-whether-the-developer-kit-is-in-force-recovery-mode

After running the command (is use nvme ssd btw)

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 \
  -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml -p "-c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" \
  --showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

I get this error

The guidance you are referring to is for rel-35.3.1 (jetpack5.1.1)
There is no super mode flash command at that document at all.

Super mode is added on Jetpack5.1.5 and Jetpack6.2.

So what is the exact version you want to use here?

Hello, thank you for your reply.
Oh I see, but isn’t the flashing exactly the same for 5.1 and 6.2?
I want to use Jetpack 6.2

The flash command is similar but still different due to the file path which is changed.

You should check jetpack6.2 document.

Also, jetson-orin-nano-devkit is for non-super config. Our document will guide you what is super config.
