I now using sdkmanager. Problem with automatic and manual flashing.

Setup;

  1. windows/vbox/linux
  2. jetson/nano/orin
  3. jetson has been booted from microSD flash
  4. able to ssh from linux to jetson fine
    auto flash does not work:

*automatic mode does not work

  1. jetson reboots (based on command from
  2. sdk manager goes into a spin loop trying to connect to jetson

*manual fails

  1. use pins 9/10 for recovery mode
  2. go through boot process and disconnect pins
  3. sdk detects device and comes up auto mode
  4. force into manual mode
  5. not able to get to a state where flash is enabled after reboot

Would like to get one mode working so I can flash SSD and move ahead.
Help !!!

thx.

The SDK manager can’t work well on VM/VBOX, suggest to use a host with natuve Ubuntu OS.
However, some users did try with VM successfully, you can refer to Jetson Orin Nano (Super) boot from NVMe - using a VM to configure this to see if can help.

Making progress with REAL PC , but not quite there. Goal it to flash LINUX and ALL the components. Here is what happens:

  1. able to flash LINUX all day along
  2. I disconnect the jumper while the LINUX flashing is taking place
  3. Then I get the prompt AGAIN to flash etc., instead of flashing the rest of the SDK components. Not quite sure how to proceed here.

I am NOT able to flash the components. The system does boot, bit I am missing many run time components.

Why does the flash process , after LINUX, not does the rest of the components?
What components do I need to flash to run the containers in “jetson_inference”.

Thx
