hello pim_pam,

please check developer guide, Updating Jetson Linux with Image-Based Over-the-Air Update.
may I know your steps in details for running OTA update.

Yes, I am doing steps from this guide. I can provide output from any step if it can help….

Also, these steps were working with another hardware version of xavier:

# cat /etc/nv_boot_control.conf
TNSPEC 2888-400-0004-P.0-1-2-jetson-xavier-mmcblk0p1
COMPATIBLE_SPEC 2888-400-0004--1-2-jetson-agx-xavier-devkit-
TEGRA_CHIPID 0x19
TEGRA_OTA_BOOT_DEVICE /dev/mmcblk0boot0
TEGRA_OTA_GPT_DEVICE /dev/mmcblk0boot1

And one more thing - I have this fix OTA tools: broken support of AGX Xavier 64Gb - #10 by KevinFFF

hello pim_pam,

if that’s only happened with 64GB version, you may see-also Jetson PCN Center to apply the related overlay.
