Orin NX turning off during flash

I’m trying to flash my Orin NX using an Orin Nano carrier board and a 500gb NVME SSD. The Orin appears to power off during the flashing process and not turn back on; the flashing process just hangs forever. It’s a reproducible issue at the same point in the flashing process so it’s not just a random power off. I’m using Tegra_Linux_Sample-Root-Filesystem_R35.5.0 and Jetson_Linux_R35.5.0.

I’m flashing from a computer running Ubuntu 18.04 with the following command:

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 -p "-c ./bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" -c ./tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_t234_nvme.xml --showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit nvme0n1p1

Your log does not match the command you posted.
Please check attachments again.

Anyway, you’d better fix the quotation mark issue as I told you yesterday:

@DaveYYY sorry, updated to include correct log (attached here as well).

R.e. quotations - I am trying with the Orin Nano Dev Kit now which seems better supported. Although I also have not succeeded in flashing from SDK. I’d prefer to focus on this one though.

Maybe try another flashing cable or disk.

I’ve tried multiple SSDs at this point. I’m currently using a USB-C to USB-A cable into a USB3 hub that is connected to my laptop. What would the ideal setup be?

Try this:

Hub may be unstable so don’t use it.

Do you have a specific USB-C cable you recommend?

11

NO.
We don’t have any recommendation for cables.

Using a USB-C to USB-C cable with no hub in the middle seems to have worked.
