Question about AGX Xavier broken eMMC

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson AGX Xavier
1

I have an AGX Xavier that I obtained a while ago from an acquaintance.

I was booting fine but neither of us had the login credentials anymore. I set it aside for a long time and now I’m trying to revive it and it will not boot. I figure a device with a GPU and 32GB of unified memory is going to be useful for quite a few things still these days.

It goes straight into DFU mode as seen via lsusb on an attached linux box.

When attempting to flash to eMMC I get

16:09:50 INFO: Flash Jetson Linux - flash: [ 17.9260 ] [...] 100%
16:09:50 INFO: Flash Jetson Linux - flash: [ 17.9275 ] 000000000d0d2c01: E> NV3P_SERVER: Failed to initialize partition table from GPT.

error, and upon doing some more research on these forums it’s apparent the eMMC probably died. Example: AGX Xavier error during flashing - #16 by stefan.sesser

I attempted to flash to NVMe after installing one, and I got a blinking cursor to show on HDMI off the device, but this flash also failed!

17:00:59 INFO: Flash Jetson Linux - flash: tar: Read checkpoint 540000
17:01:00 INFO: Flash Jetson Linux - flash: tar: Read checkpoint 550000

17:01:07 ERROR: Flash Jetson Linux - flash: command terminated with error
17:01:07 SUMMARY: DateTime Target Setup - target: Depends on failed component

I wonder if I am likely to see success from poking around any further with the flash.sh script and whatnot. Does anyone know if this means there is some interaction required with eMMC even to boot NVMe and i’ve got a bricked device?

At this point resetting the device has it boot up in DFU mode again.

How would I go about RMAing this device?

I got a response from Customer Care regarding RMA for this device. They said that the warranty for the device is out because it was manuf. in 2018 and it’s now well beyond the 1 year warranty duration.

This is understandable but it leaves me holding the bag on it since I also can’t in good conscience sell it off on ebay without making it clear that it’s basically for parts. Like… there’s a perfectly good GPU on this thing… I’d like to get it functioning again somehow so I can run some LLMs on it! Even if I have to ship it to Louis Rossman and have him replace the eMMC or something :D

Questions:

Assuming that it is the eMMC that is faulty,

I know that Xavier NX (prod SoM) can boot “directly” from NVMe. Supposedly by initializing their QSPI-NOR and not interacting with eMMC at all. But I do not know if the architecture for this Xavier AGX is different. I feel like it could well be.

Next, I will attempt the carolyuu approach as mentioned from here: How to Boot from USB Drive? - #51 by jhench to see if I can obtain functioning boot from USB.

Hi,

Before answering the question, I would suggest you to dump the uart log during flash and share both device side and host side (full) log for us to check…

Sure. Here is the serial log:

Also, in this topic: Cannot flash AGX Xavier I have attached my SDKM flashing logs.

Looking at this, it’s saying SDMMC, is it trying to boot SD card??

Hi,

You didn’t get it. I mean the uart log during the flash process.

8

You mean to have minicom set up like this while I proceed with SDKM flash?

I will attempt this now.

9

Hi,

I just checked some history and notice the problem here is your module is too old and is already got EOL.

Latest jetpack does not support this module(2888-0001-400) anymore.

You can only try some old jetpack like jp4.3/4.2 first.

10

OK thank you. that is good to know. i suspected it but it is not easy to confirm. I already downloaded the ubuntu 18.04 SDKM docker image and will use that in my 20.04 system to flash a jetpack 4.x. Do you know if 4.6 is supported though? Or I have to go even earlier?

11

I’m attempting a 4.6.4 emmc flash now, because 4.6.x is as early of a jetpack as the 18.04 SDKManager docker allows me to install. I’ll search around for older BSP package for trying to JP 4.3 with, if this fails, I suppose.

12

Still fails with the SDK Manager showing a familiar

Then I think it is more than just module EOL. It could be the broken emmc as you said.

There is no alternative solution. AGX Xavier does not have QSPI. If the emmc is dead, then even bootloader software cannot be installed.

17

Okay that’s helpful information…

I found from generic-no-api_r2 (i believe that L4T 32.6.1 is indeed paired with JP 4.6) that this AGX 2888 0004 should be supported there. Which leads me to think that it is not because I need these really old Jetpacks.

If the emmc is dead, then even bootloader software cannot be installed.

Can you confirm based on the logs I have shown whether at this stage of the process if it is enough to configure booting from an SD card or NVMe or USB? No?

18

Not possible. No other interface can work for bootloader installation except QSPI and emmc.

Can you confirm based on the logs I have shown whether at this stage of the process if it is enough to configure booting from an SD card or NVMe or USB? No?

19

OK. as i mentioned in original post, customer service is refusing to issue me an RMA for this device because it’s beyond one year warranty.

Could you help me find the exact component that the eMMC chip is, so that i can take it to a hardware repair shop to get it replaced?

I found another topic of the same issue: High failure rate during reliability testing of 32GB Xavier AGX modules
