hi JP 5.1.3 HW orinnx 16GB I did a test that reboot orinnx repeatly very 20 seconds after nv-l4tbootloader-config.service boot up successfully at slot A. But it switched to slot B unexpectly and it reported bootloader of slot A was unbootable. Then powered off orinnx module and powered on orinn…

1, I added a test service and it boot up after nv-l4t-bootloader-config.service and it called shell script beleow 2, it would record current slot information to the rest_reboot.log every bootup #!/bin/bash res1=$(nvbootctrl dump-slots-info) res2=$(nvbootctrl dump-slots-info -t rootfs) echo “***…

hello smileandcry2023, actually, systemd will do lots of service to initialize while system has booted up. you should calling $ sudo systemctl status nv-l4t-bootloader-config, to confirm background service is executed successfully(status=0/SUCCESS) before rebooting the system.

I added After=nv-l4t-bootloader-config in my service, if it run failed, my service would be called

hello smileandcry2023, please adding status check for background service. if that’s possible, please moving to the latest JP-5 since there’re several bugs fixes included.

test_reboot_20250108_v1.log (26.6 KB) “sudo systemctl status nv-l4t-bootloader-config” it shows this service boot up successfully, but system switched frome A to B unexpectly stilly.

We face a very similar issue and we are in 35.6.2 and assertions were addressed. Initially we though this could come form our custom board, but now we are able to reproduce it on an official devkit. From current investigation, 25% of the modules seems affected by this boot swap issue the other does…

We are doing some test to locat wher the issue is. Have you solved it?

Sadly no, and this impact the production line so many people from different departments in my company are working to identify the culprit for months now. We have setup bench of stress tests and we have tried countless experiments but no luck so far. Lately we were able to reproduce on an official d…

[image] smileandcry2023: Then powered off orinnx module and powered on orinnx agin, the bootloader of slot A return to bootable autoly, how did it that ? Yeap, that’s also what we observe. The ‘unbootable’ flag for the rootfs seems to persist a power cycle. Not the ‘unbootable’ flag for the b…
