Have a good day, everyone. I’m using the Jetson Orin Nano 8GB Developer Kit. I’m facing an issue: I want to completely reinstall the system.

I launch SDK Manager, connect the device via USB Type-C, short the RECOVERY and GND pins, then connect the power supply. In lsusb, the device shows up as:

Bus 001 Device 025: ID 0955:7523 NVIDIA Corp. APX

I start the reinstallation process, but it always fails with an error during the Linux flashing stage.

I’m using Ubuntu 22.04 on the host and trying to install JetPack 6.0. The board is original, and I’m using a 256GB NVMe drive.

Here is the error:

18:55:15 ERROR: Flash Jetson Linux - flash: [exec_command]: /bin/bash -c /home/aboba/.nvsdkm/replays/scripts/JetPack_6.0_Linux/NV_L4T_FLASH_JETSON_LINUX_COMP.sh; [error]: 129884 blocks

I’ve attached the log file. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi kondrik500,

Are you using standalone Ubuntu 22.04 as host PC or you are using docker/VM?

Have you formatted the NVMe SSD as ext4 before use?

Please also try to flash the latest Jetpack 6.2(r36.4.3) to verify.

I’m using a PC. No, I haven’t formatted it — how do I do that?

As for Jetpack 6.3, that also doesn’t work — same error.

There was already Linux with Jetpack 6.0 installed, I just need to completely reinstall it from scratch.

You can just put it on your host PC and use command/tool to format it.

Do you mean that you’ve also tried flashing Jetpack6.2(r36.4.3) with the same issue?

I’ve also found some errors relating to your host environment.
Have you also tried using another host PC to flash the devkit?
