No debug access after flashing

I flashed my Orin nx with Jetpack 6.2 using sdk manager. But after flashing I am not able to access it using debug. Can be accessed using Ethernet only. Can anybody suggest something about this?
I am using ubuntu 20.04 host to flash.

What does that mean you are not able to access it using debug? What kind of debug method is that?

you mean through serial debug console port ?

OTG Micro-AB port(one which I use to access jetson using ssh). After flashing, I cannot see L4T-README showing up, 192.168.55.1 is not visible when I used ifconfig and also not visible as /dev/ttyACM0. But I am able to access using ethernet cable and works properly with it.

Is that thing a Orin Nano devkit carrier board or a custom board from other vendor?

Or you are uncertain about what I am asking here?

I am using Aetina AN110 carrier board. I have previously flashed it with Jetpack 5.1.3, It was working properly, But when I Flashed it with Jetpack 6.2, it didn’t work.

Hi,

Are you still using sdkmanager to flash here or you are using Aetina’s custom BSP?

I used sdkmanager. Didn’t use any custom BSP. It was working with Jetpack 5.1.3.

This concept is wrong. Sdkmanager does not fully support custom board.

Anything that was working on old BSP didn’t mean it will continue to work in future. You should check if Aetina provides a new BSP there but not rely on sdkmanager.

Your error is typical one that usb software from devkit does not match to your board.

FYI, third parties often ship their Jetson products with a customized carrier board. There are options in the electrical layout whereby GPIO pins on the module can be assigned different possible functions. The method of telling the software and dev kit what that layout is will be via the device tree (which is firmware). The firmware from NVIDIA’s developer kits will differ from most third party carrier boards, and the third party vendor will do one of the following:

  • State that their hardware uses the default Jetson developer kit flash software, which in turn implies their carrier board electrical layout is a match to the developer kit layout.
  • Provide a patch to the NVIDIA flash software, most likely updating the device tree firmware.
  • Provide a complete flash solution which is basically a rebranded NVIDIA flash software using a new device tree.

So you must find the flash content from the vendor. Apparently the layout of the port used for serial console differs, but the Ethernet layout matches.

Okay. Thank you so much.
