Problems installing Jetpack 4.6.x on NVidia Jetson Xavier (AAEON Boxer)

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson Systems Jetson Xavier NX

Since for flashing it is recommended to use a host system rather than a virtualized one (docker / vm) I did boot the PC with a Ubuntu 18.04 server usb stick and then mounted some free space from hdd for the use with sdkmanager.

Then I download the sdkmanager 2.1.0 and ran this command after connecting the Jetson via micro USB to host and setting it into recovery mode:

sdkmanager --cli --action install --login-type devzone --product Jetson --target-os Linux --version 4.6.3 --show-all-versions --target JETSON_AGX_XAVIER_TARGETS --select 'Jetson OS' --deselect 'Jetson SDK Components' --flash all --download-folder /mnt/test/tmp/sdkmanager --target-image-folder /mnt/test/tmp/nvidia/nvidia_sdk --license accept

After successful flashing and rebooting , the boot halts at the NVIDIA logo.
I also tried 4.6.5. here it boots further but then complaints about not finding PART-UUID=“” and then goes into reboot.

On this Jetson Linux RT 35.5.0 runs without problem.

Does AAEON tell you their board can work fine with sdkmanager jetpack4.6.5 image?

We don’t actually guarantee any kind of custom board can work with NV image. Vendor shall provide their own BSP for their board.

Well it works fine with the sdkmanager when flashing jetpack5.x, so why should 4.6.x not work?

Actually there is no direct indication that jetpack5 can work → jetpack 4 could work too. If such logic can work, then there won’t be any bug reported when user changes between such major upgrade.

From our official point of view, this is not what we guarantee.

I can help you check what is going on with your jetpack4 issue. But if that is related to custom carrier board things, then we cannot help further

For current situation, please dump the serial console log from UART and attach it here.
