Orin agx with l4t 35.4.1 error when preparing images for massflash in offline mode

Im trying to prepare a l4t 35.4.1 BSP + rootfs for massflash via

export NVIDIA_FLASH_BOARDID=3701 NVIDIA_FLASH_BOARDREV=A.0 NVIDIA_FLASH_FAB=TS4 NVIDIA_FLASH_BOARDSKU=0004

./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --uefi-keys uefi_keys/uefi_keys.conf -i ./ekb.key --no-flash --network usb0 --massflash 5 jetson-agx-orin-devkit internal

But when running the command, we get an error:

...
flash.sh --no-flash --sign -i "./ekb.key" --uefi-keys "uefi_keys/uefi_keys.conf"  jetson-agx-orin-devkit internal

The log leads to the assumption that the offline-mode of l4t_initrd_flash_internal.sh doesn’t work. Any idea whats wrong here?

Hi brootux,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for AGX Orin?

Why you add NVIDIA_FLAH_ before each board parameters?
Have you tried to connect your board in force recovery state and run the command on host to generate mfi package?

5

Are you using the devkit or custom board for AGX Orin?

Not really a custom carrier, but also not the devkit. Its a forecr carrier, does this matter?

Why you add NVIDIA_FLAH_ before each board parameters?

that was actually a copy-paste mistake, its actually export BOARDID=3701 BOARDREV=A.0 FAB=TS4 BOARDSKU=0004

6

Are you using the custom BSP package for your board rather than the official BSP package from us?
Do you enable the secureboot and UEFI secureboot in your case?

7

i am using their kernel but the BSP from nvidia. We have no problems flashing directly.

Yes we activated secureboot, UEFI secureboot, disk encryption and rootfs a/b.

8

Do you mean that you can use initrd flash command to flash the board successfully but you can’t use mfi package to flash the board?

Have you also fused the board?

9

Do you mean that you can use initrd flash command to flash the board successfully but you can’t use mfi package to flash the board?

Flashing was done in that case via the flash.sh but not initrd-flash.

Have you also fused the board?

No, but we are planning to do so

10

Could you try using the following command to flash the board w/o enabling any options?

$ sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit mmcblk0p1
11

will do asap, unfortunately working on other things right now :(

12

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue anymore.
Hence, we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks

Is this still an issue to support? Any result can be shared?
