After building my own version of u-boot according the procedure in  
[https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/l4t/index.html#page/Tegra%2520Linux%2520Driver%2520Package%2520Development%2520Guide%2Fuboot\_guide.html%23](https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/l4t/index.html#page/Tegra%2520Linux%2520Driver%2520Package%2520Development%2520Guide%2Fuboot_guide.html%23)

I tried flashing the u-boot using the below command. But the flash fails with a return value of 13

```auto
sudo ./flash.sh -k LNX jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1

```

```

This problem arises only when I try to flash u-boot separately. If I simply flash using the below command, there are no issues. However, I want to flash u-boot only. Please let me know if there are any issues with my command.

```auto
sudo ./flash.sh jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1

```

hello deepak.rajamohan,

you’re using wrong partition names for TX2 platforms.  
please check the flash configuration files for its partition names.  
thanks

for example,

```auto
<i>$OUT/Linux_for_Tegra/bootloader/flash.xml</i>

        <partition name="kernel" type="data" oem_sign="true">
            <filename> boot.img </filename>
...
        <partition name="kernel-dtb" type="data" oem_sign="true">
            <filename> tegra186-quill-p3310-1000-c03-00-base.dtb </filename>

The Linux\_for\_Tegra/bootloader/flash.xml file has a partition name for cboot.bin file. but not for the u-boot.bin file that I want to flash.

According to

```auto
</partition>
        <partition name="cpu-bootloader" type="bootloader" oem_sign="true">
...
            <filename> cboot.bin </filename>

```

The file Linux\_for\_Tegra/bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash\_l4t\_t186.xml has the partition name LNXNAME which should contain u-boot according to the table

“Jetson TX2 Series (P3489 and P3489-nnnn), sdmmc\_user Partition”

But when I use the command below it says “\*\*\* Update [LNXNAME] is not supported. \*\*\*”

```auto
sudo ./flash.sh -k LNXNAME jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1

```

hello deepak.rajamohan,

u-boot is in the kernel partition, please refer to [U-Boot Customization](https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/l4t-archived/l4t-3231/index.html#page/Tegra%2520Linux%2520Driver%2520Package%2520Development%2520Guide%2Fuboot_guide.html%23wwpID0E05H0HA) for details.

I did refer to the link U-Boot Customization page and I understand that U-Boot is in the kernel partition. It says the name of the kernel partition is LNX. However, when I use this name I get error. This is what I mentioned in my original question. So what is the name of the kernel partition?

hello deepak.rajamohan,

LNX is the kernel partition name for TX1, Nano; TX2 and Xavier is using different names.  
you may refer to [comment #2](https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1071077/jetson-tx2/problem-flashing-u-boot-on-to-tx2-emmc/post/5426371/#5426371) to check the flash configuration files for all partition names.  
please using below commands to update kernel partition,  
for example,

```auto
$ sudo ./flash.sh -r -k kernel jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1

```
