“Reading board information failed” when emulating back to default configuration Jetson Orin AGX

[tony242]

I have a Jetson AGX Orin Devkit 32GB and I successfully emulated it to AGX Orin Nano. Here is the current info:

NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin as Nano 8GB
 L4T 35.1.0 [ JetPack 5.0.2 ]
   Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
   Kernel Version: 5.10.104-tegra
 CUDA 11.4.239
   CUDA Architecture: 8.7
 OpenCV version: 4.5.4
   OpenCV Cuda: NO
 CUDNN: 8.6.0.166
 TensorRT: 8.5.2.2
 Vision Works: NOT_INSTALLED
 VPI: 2.4.8
 Vulcan: 1.3.203

I tried to flash and reinstall Jetpack using the SDK Manager; however, it’s still the same. I attempted to revert back to normal by following similar steps, but when I tried these commands:
sudo ./flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit mmcblk0p1
sudo ./flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit-as-nx-16gb mmcblk0p1

This error is showed.

I would really appreciate it if anyone knows how to revert back to the default configuration.

Here is the sdkmanager flash error message when I tried to flash by SDKManager. Is there anything else I should provide?

It’s still the same, dude.
Did you try steps in the link I posted earlier?

[DaneLLL]

Hi,
We now have Orin Nano developer kit on market. Please consider get a real device rather than using emulation config.

[tony242]

Thank you for your support. I was able to successfully install it using a different host machine, Ubuntu 18.04 instead of 20.04.

@DaneLLL Thanks for your suggestion. I plan to use that for benchmarking before making a purchase.
