Hello,
I am trying to update Jetpack version to a newest one on Jetson Orin Nano. This is my setup:
- Host machine on native Ubuntu 22.04,
- Jetson Orin Nano in Force Recovery Mode,
- Trying to flash NVMe 128 GB (although 256 is recommended I am trying this)
- Jetson connected to Host machine with USB cable which was before used for flashing AGX and should work,
- Jetson connected with ethernet cable to router with access to internet,
- Host machine connected to the same router with Wi-Fi,
- Jetson is visible by Host Machine.
I tried flashing with SDK manager and also flashing manually following NVIDIA guides. Both times I am getting this error
16:10:54 INFO: Flash Jetson Linux - flash: Device should have booted into initrd kernel now. However, the host cannot connect to its ssh server
16:10:54 INFO: Flash Jetson Linux - flash: Command failed: sshpass -p root ssh root@fc00:1:1:0::2. Check your network setting (VPN, firewall,...) to make sure the device can ssh root@fc00:1:1:0::2
which I think is the reason of the flashing process. I am flashing while connected to my home network. Here is the full log from the recent flashing attempt:

I tried to debug the connectivity to the Jetson, however my experience in computer networks is just very basic and don’t know how to continue. Some things I tried:
$ ping fc00:1:1:0::2

I also tried accessing ssh with the user I created and failed.
I am not sure why SDK manager is trying to access this IPv6 address. I just booted up the Jetson Nano device to look at it’s ifconfig and don’t see it anywhere. Moreover, I can see that eth0 has IPv4 address that I can even ssh to as my user! I don’t want to share the output of the ssh as I don’t know if there’s any sensitive information.
However, I discovered that I can ssh only to my user with the password I created and SDK manager is trying to access as root user which I also tried to ssh to, but failed. My question is now what am I missing? What can I do to flash the device?
Thanks in advance for any tips.
