Hello I am working on a couple personal scripts to automate flashing devices. One of the hurdles I have found is Forced Recovery Mode. I have been using the manual way of putting the Jetson AGX Orin into Forced Recovery mode. I would like to be able to automate that process, and didn’t know if it was possible to place the device into recovery mode from the host machine?
Thank you!
Specs:
Jetson AGX Orin 64gb Dev Kit
Ubuntu 22.04.4 being run off VMware pro 16
Hello @blake.williams,
You could try running the following command from a console on the host using ssh:
sudo reboot –force forced-recovery
Please let us know if that helps.

I was hoping not to use ssh, and use the Serial connection instead (Usb-A to Usb-C). For my application I’m limited on internet access.
Got it.
Makes sense.
And what about using the OTG connection that the board sets up when connected through USB?
You should be able to access the board through IP 192.168.55.1
Would you be opposed to giving that a try ?

That would work for my application. If you wouldn’t mind, what would be the commands to connect and issue the reboot command?
Sounds great!
The steps would be:
ssh <user>@192.168.55.1sudo reboot –force forced-recoverylsusbPlease let us know if you require further assistance.

If it is a brand new device, would these steps still apply (as in never been flashed), and if so what would the username be?
That is a great question.
Most devices come already flashed from the manufacturer.
Usually their default username and passwords is nvidia.
However, that is not for certain.
In a production setting, we would recommend working out with the manufacturer so that the devices come with some sort of base Jetpack already installed. That is usually not hard for them to do.
For instance, if you were to implement some sort of OTA AB update support, you would still need to have those devices already flashed. Therefore, you would need to do that in-house or ask the manufacturer to that for you.
Usually our customers get that figured out with the manufacturer.

Thank you for the help! When I do run sudo reboot -force forced-recovery through the serial ssh connection I get the following error
Thanks again!
Sure, no problem!
That is interesting, when I run it on a Jetson Nano I have laying around, it works just fine:
Could it be the JP version.
What Jetpack are you running ?

I’m using Jetpack 6.0 with Jetson Linux r36.3.
I think i found the issue, you are missing a dash ‘-’ before the ‘-force’ entry.
Please note there needs to be 2 dashes in order for the command to work ‘–force’
