I don’t understand what I made a mistake.
Does anyone know what I did wrong?

Thanks for report this issue. We will check.

Hi naisy,

We can’t reproduce your issue.
Please make sure below two steps are correct:

$ sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-l4t-apt-source.list
Change the repository name and download URL in the deb commands:
deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common r32.4 main
deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/t210 r32.4 main

8

Thank you for confirming that there are no problems.
I have confirmed that the repository is correct.

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-l4t-apt-source.list
deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common r32.4 main
deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/t210 r32.4 main

I used Nano A02 and TOSHIBA 32GB sd card.
I will try other sd card.

Hi naisy,

Please try to use sdkmanager to flash your board first. It seems related to bootrom of this jetson Nano so changing the sdcard itself does not help.

11

Hi WayneWWW,
I have never flashed with sdkmanager on nano. I will try it.
Thank you.

12

Naisy,

You could also share the boot up log from uart console for us to confirm your bootrom version too, if you are not yet flashing it with sdkmanager.

After following To upgrade to new minor release @ Welcome — Jetson Linux<br/>Developer Guide 34.1 documentation I just encountered an error at the end of the dist-upgrade process:

Did someone encountered this error before, and if so, what was the solution?

I have to upgrade six boards. First dist-upgrade one was successful. The above encountered was my second board.

And my third + fourth board:

Hi WayneWWW,
After I flashed with sdkmanager, I tried this procedure again.
This OTA update was successful.
Thank you so much!

Hi Naisy,

OTA (Over The Air): did you update remotely and solely via LAN (SDKManager on another computer/desktop/laptop)? Or is it still micro-usb?

Without resetting/configuring all from scratch?

I do use SDKManager for my Jetson AGX Xavier. So it could be a good alternative.

Update 16.50 GMT+2: Flashing at the moment with SDKManager via Micro-USB.
Update 2 17.40: Muhh… that did not went well. Board setup failed and dangling symlink ‘etc/resolv.conf’. Going the full SD card install route with full reconfiguration. Damn.
→ oops… made a mistake during use of SDKManager. Forgot to place a jumper on J40 pins 3 and 4 to enable Force Recovery Mode (FRC).

Hi remko.lems,
I did remote update. ssh login, and update from jetpack4.3 to jetpack 4.4.

Hi remko.lems,

Actually the dmesg is not what I want. I want the boot up log.
Boot log does not contain only the kernel log but also the bootloader log. You have to use the UART serial console to dump such log.

This error comes because your board’s bootrom is not updated since you buy the jetson nano. Unfortunately, changing the sdcard image alone does not upgrade the bootrom. Thus, you have to use sdkmanager to help.

Regarding bootrom … ahhh (epiphany moment) … that makes absolute sense. Thanks.

Note: I forgot to use a jumper temporarily on J40 pins 3+4 on my A02 board while flashing with SDKManager.

Flashing correctly now.

Update: it is working with a flash/full reinstall of SD card.

Hi,
I have the same issue after update from JetPack 4.3 to JetPack 4.4 on my Jetson Nano.

Hopefully I can avoid flashing / reinstalling the device.

dpkg: error processing package nvidia-l4t-bootloader (--configure):
installed nvidia-l4t-bootloader package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

Very likely, it’s related - I am running the Nano from a USB-memory stick, with the SD-card just required for booting as shown here.
The bootloader is on the SD-card, which is mounted, but cannot be installed/configured

The SDK-manager seems to require Ubuntu or similar, and I only have a Windows machine available …

25

Actually, you could think this of some kind of incompatible issues on some early-released device bootrom with latest sdcard image.

The only way to update bootrom on your side is the sdkmanager.

26

I bought my Nano Development Kit in January 2020, so I wonder why it has an ‘early-released device bootrom’ …

Anyway, it seems I have been able to solve the issue - although I don’t know how to confirm it 100%.

I re-flashed my SD-Card with the most recent image, configured it to run from an USB-stick as done before, plugged in my existing USB-stick, and everything (incl all my data and programs) seem back to normal.
Even the error-message when ‘sudo apt upgrade’ has disappeared.
A test of CUDA shows up and running.

Hi mictiemix,

I bought my Nano Development Kit in January 2020, so I wonder why it has an ‘early-released device bootrom’ …

It is not precise to tell what bootrom you are using by the time your bought the device.
The way to check the bootrom version is check the boot log from the serial console log.

28

Too complicated …, and anyway my device is working.

Nevertheless, maybe Nvidia can include some clearly visibly warnings that upgrading the JetPack might require re-flash of the device, and/or use of the SDK …

29

IMO, learning how to dump the serial console is necessary. You could see almost every forum user here uses this method to debug. Honestly speaking, this is the only method that could provide detailed log when something goes wrong on your device.

Nevertheless, maybe Nvidia can include some clearly visibly warnings that upgrading the JetPack might require re-flash of the device, and/or use of the SDK …

There are lots of ways to upgrading your system. OTA upgrade through deb package is a new way and starts recently.
Unfortunately it is not compatible with some Nano boards here and require you to use the old way (reflash) to do the upgrade.

Thanks, for the detailed info - will try!
