I have an Orin Nano 8gb developer kit. I have the official carrier board with the only modification being that I added a 1tb WD Blue NVMe SSD on the bottom.

When I try to install to the NVMe using the SDK it fails. I have attached the UART logs and SDK logs from the failure. I do not know what the issue is.

The SSD is brand new and works with other devices so I do not believe that is the issue. I have also tried booting by flashing the SD card which was unsuccessful.

Host machine is running Ubuntu 20.04. No virtual machines are being used.

Hi infiniteechorobotics,

Please check if your NVMe is formatted to the ext4. If the NVMe is already formatted to ext4, manually execute the flash command:

  1. Locate the flash script in the following directory:
    ~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/${YourTargetMachineName}/Linux_for_Tegra
  2. Find the corresponding command in the QuickStart guide. For example, flash the NVMe:
sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 \
  -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_t234_nvme.xml -p "-c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" \
  --showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

In case the flashing process fails, please provide the manual flash log and the minicom_log

Hey David,

Thanks for responding. I actually managed to get the flash to work by flashing Jetpack 5.1.4 first and then flashing Jetpack 6.1. I’m not sure why this works, but it did.
