Orin AGX Backup-Restore Partition Corrupt

[nashworth]

Using Orin AGX with Jetpack 6.0 (36.3.0). This is a Seeed Computing Jetson AGX Orin 32GB H01 Kit for reference.

The source system boots with JP6 and runs fine with no issues. Can successfully run the backup command on my source and create an image.

Backup command:
l4t_backup_restore.sh -e mmcblk0 -b jetson-agx-orin-devkit

This completes and creates a backup image.

Have 2 identical Orin AGX systems to restore the backup with this command:

Restore command:
l4t_backup_restore.sh -e mmcblk0 -r jetson-agx-orin-devkit

The restore process is completed successfully.

The newly restored systems will not fully boot into the OS as it complains of ext4-fs errors and journal errors, see attached images. Also included the boot screen for version information.

What am I missing? I have re-run the backup a few times and each time the restore process ends with these errors upon booting the news boxes.

Hi,
Please check the quick start in developer guide and make sure you follow the steps one by one:
https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r36.3/DeveloperGuide/IN/QuickStart.html
If the device still cannot be flashed/booted, please refer to the page to get uart log from the device:
https://elinux.org/Jetson/General_debug
If you are using custom board, you can compare uart log of developer kit and custom board to get more information.

Thanks!

Thank you but I am wondering if the backup process is not being performed correctly. Can you offer guidance on that front? Is there anything that needs to be checked or changed before running the backup command?

Please do not take pictures anymore… Use serial console to dump the log.

Please also flash the board into official BSP first (not backup/restore thing) and share the below info

cat /etc/nv_boot_control.conf
