Reflashing AGX Xavier with Ubuntu 20.04 (Xavier DeviceNot Recognized with SDKManager)

I was provided with an already flashed NVIDIA AGX Xavier. The current JetPack version is 4.1.1 and L4T Version is 31.1.0. I am trying to upgrade to JetPack 5.1.2/L4T 35.4.1 or any newer version such that I can use this repository properly: dusty-nv/jetson-containers: Machine Learning Containers for NVIDIA Jetson and JetPack-L4T (github.com)

What is the best way to do this?

My current plan was to reflash the Xavier with a Dell Laptop running Ubuntu 20.04 but when I connect them with a USBC-USBC wire and use the command ‘lsbusb’ on the Ubuntu, it doesn’t recognize the Xavier (at least I don’t think it does). The SDK Manager also doesn’t detect it.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You need to put your agx xavier in Force Recovery Mode. Then your lsusb will show the jetson. sdkmanager will also be able to detect your device.
