Network boot Jetpack 5.1.2 and Jetcpack 6.1 images on one device

[cartographer]

Is it possible to do network booting(PXE or other) on one device to Jetpack 5.1.2 and Jetpack 6.1 images?

https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r36.3/DeveloperGuide/SD/FlashingSupport.html#configuring-a-pxe-boot-server-for-uefi-bootloader-on-jetson
According to beforementioned guidance, no devicetree option is given in grub.cfg file and according to boot and flashing log I suppose it is read from EFI partition. After flashing Jetpack 6.1 image to Jetson AGX orin, I did PXE boot succefully with Jetpack 6.1 image/initrd and NFS rootfs. I tried to use Jetpack 5.1.2 image/initrd and nfs rootfs, but it leads to kernel panic during boot-up.

Is it possible to do PXE boot to Jetpack 5.1.2 (or any other Jetpack 5.*) and Jetpack 6.1 on one single Jetson AGX Orin without flashing device between booting?

Hi,

I didn’t find help from given links. I suppose I either understood you incorrectly or my questions are not clear. I don’t feel need for another ticket, but would just like to get help related to image PXE booting for Jetson AGX Orin. So I can descripe steps to reproduce this.

1. Flash Jetpack 5.1.2 to Jetson AGX Orin(exact model 945-13730-0000-000) using NVIDIA SDK manager
2. Flash Jetpack 6.1 to same device using NVIDIA SDK manager
3. Configure tftp, dhcp and grub to make booting to Jetpack 6.1 according guide: Flashing Support — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation) 4) Configure tftp, dhcp and grub to make booting to Jetpack 5.1.2 according guide: Flashing Support — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation

OBSERVED RESULTS:
In step 4) device reach kernel panic during boot-up

HOPED/EXPECTED RESULTS:
Device can be PXE booted for both Jetpack 5.1.2 and Jetpack 6.1 images

There is no support as UEFI does not support jetpack6.1 and jp5 at same time
