Good news! But first, some information to help others. @DaveYYY, prior to your last response, I went with the flashing command per the documentation you directed me to. It did not work. Aside from being the wrong command, another problem was that the usb connection kept detaching & attaching during the flash process, and in the end, I received this error:
…
Waiting for target to boot-up…
Unknown device “/sys/class/net/bonding_masters”: No such device
Unknown device “/sys/class/net/bonding_masters”: No such device
Waiting for target to boot-up…
Timeout
Cleaning up…
.
.
To help others, let me summarize the goal and solution:
GOALS
- Update/flash QSPI bootloader for new Nvidia Orin Nano Dev Kit to enable use of latest Jetpack 6.0 DP using a simple command line approach.
- Avoid sdkmanager altogether (too many issues with Win10 WSL2).
- Avoid purchasing separate dedicated Ubuntu machine
- Separately, install Jetpack 6.0 on SD Card with SD Card Image method on Windows 10 (simple, fast, robust).
- Use Windows 10 WSL2 with Ubuntu 22.04 without changing WSL2 kernels.
- Only flash QSPI bootloader on Orin Nano Dev Kit WITHOUT the SD card installed.
APPROACH
-
Install WSL2 with Ubuntu 22.04. The following steps worked for me on a Win10.
-
Download and move the following files somewhere inside your WSL2 container
https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/embedded/l4t/r36_release_v2.0/release/jetson_linux_r36.2.0_aarch64.tbz2
https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/embedded/l4t/r36_release_v2.0/release/tegra_linux_sample-root-filesystem_r36.2.0_aarch64.tbz2 -
Download Nvidia flashing software from r36.2 developer guide
-
tar xf ${L4T_RELEASE_PACKAGE}
sudo tar xpf ${SAMPLE_FS_PACKAGE} -C Linux_for_Tegra/rootfs/
cd Linux_for_Tegra/
sudo ./apply_binaries.sh
sudo ./tools/l4t_flash_prerequisites.sh
-
-
Install additional USB related tools from Nvidia WSL Doc
- Caution: for Win10 WSL with Ubuntu 22.04 the steps outlined in the documentation were not sufficient.
- Specifically, it would not install the
usbiptool - Without
usbip, communication with the Orin Nano is impossible and flashing will not work.
-
Install ‘usbip’ tools from usbipd-win github page
- Simplest installation of
usbipd-wintools is to download the *.msi installer, double-click that file, and let it install it for you. - Check for the latest version. At the time of this writing, 4.0.0 was the latest
- Simplest installation of
-
Put Orin Nano Dev Kit into Force Recovery Mode
-
Run Win10 PowerShell with Admin privileges.
-
in powershell, run
usbipd listto list connected devices. This is my output: -
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> usbipd list
Connected:

Orin Nano Dev Kit is the second entry (busid 1-9)
-
while still in powershell, run:
-
usbipd attach --busid 1-9 --auto-attach --wsl
usbipd: info: Using WSL distribution ‘Ubuntu-22.04’ to attach; the device will be available in all WSL 2 distributions.
usbipd: info: Using IP address 172.20.48.1 to reach the host.
usbipd: info: Starting endless attach loop; press Ctrl+C to quit.
-
-
While Powershell runs in the background, open a WSL Ubuntu terminal window. DO NOT CLOSE POWERSHELL window.
-
In Ubuntu terminal, verify Orin Nano Dev Kit is attached with
lsusbcommand -
READY TO FLASH QSPI BOOTLOADER WITHOUT SD CARD INSTALLED
-
In Ubuntu terminal, change to
Linux_for_Tegradirectory -
Flash command:
-
sudo ./flash.sh --no-systemimg -c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml jetson-orin-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1
-
On my system, process takes about 6 minutes
-
Orin Nano Dev Kit fan should start running prior to end of flash - this is a very good sign
-
Last few lines of flash process:
-

I hope this helps you.
Just a followup, I removed the jumper and got out of force-recovery-mode, inserted the SD Card imaged with Jetpack 6.0 DP (Win10 + Etcher), and fired up the Orin Nano Dev Kit. It booted properly, stepped through the first-time setup process, and I ran the following checks. I’m writing this message from my Orin Nano. Thank you for your help @DaveYYY.
