SDK Manager flash error - Jetson Orin Nano Development Kit

Hi, I am trying to flash Jetson Orin Nano Dev-kit with sdkmanager but I am facing some error…

I am using Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS as host machine. (not VM machine)
SDKManager version - 2.2.0-12021 x86_64

I tried both jetpack 5.1.4 and jetpack 6.1.
Both downloaded all files successfully but failed in the same step which is after flashing the jetson device.
I attached the logs for my last failed try.

These are result of “$ cat /etc/os-release” command, thank you.

Hi asai-il,

From the log you shared, it seems you failed at Step 3 with timeout issue.
Normally, it is caused from the boot issue.

Please check the serial console log from the devkit.

Thank you, I will get a serial console cable. (USB-TTL type, 3.3V)

What should I check in the logs at the serial console?

Please check if there’s any boot issue so that it can not boot up for SSH access.
Or you can just provide the full serial console log for further check.

Thank you!
I will check logs when I get a serial cable, and also provide them.

I finished to get the full serial console log as you said.

What should I do next??
Thank you.

From the log you shared, it seems booting into UEFI shell.
It may be caused by no available boot device found.
What’s your boot device? SD or NVMe SSD?

Are you trying to flashing into NVMe SSD?
If so, could you format it as ext4 before use or just try using another NVMe SSD?

10

Thank you for your quick reply.

Yes, I’m using NVMe SSD 1TB.
Could I format the SSD as ext4 after flashing jetson orin nano with microSD??
Finally, I would like to use NVMe SSD as boot device…

I have tried flash on both microSD and an ext4 formatted NVMe SSD.
However, both produced errors.
I will attach the logs.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.

BTW, I was able to set up AGX Orin with sdkmanager, this trouble is happening only with Orin Nano…

I’ve checked the logs you shared.
It seems you have nfs related issue.

Could you try if the following methods may help in your case?

  1. remove /etc/exports on your host
  2. sudo ufw disable to disable firewall configurations
13

Thanks to your advice, I successfully flashed Jetson Orin Nano!

So, what was the cause of this?
Should I not create /etc/exports and disable ufw on host machines that use sdkmanager in the future?

Actually, we are not clear about how to reproduce that issue since we can flash the board without doing them.
They are not needed in normal case, but we found they may help for some users.
It may depend on the host.
