Based on the provided context, I’ll provide a comprehensive answer to assist with reflashing the Jetson Orin Nano 8GB to an NVME SSD.

Understanding the Error Message

The error message is not explicitly provided, but I’ll guide you through the process of reflashing the Jetson Orin Nano 8GB to an NVME SSD.

Prerequisites

  1. Ensure you have the correct hardware:
    • Jetson Orin Nano 8GB module (P3767-0005)
    • NVME SSD ( compatible with the Jetson Orin Nano)
    • Jetson Orin Nano reference carrier board (P3768-0000)
  2. Familiarize yourself with the NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide and the Quick Start documentation.

Flashing the Jetson Orin Nano 8GB to NVME SSD

To flash the Jetson Orin Nano 8GB to an NVME SSD, you’ll need to use the l4t_initrd_flash.sh script. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Connect the NVME SSD to the Jetson Orin Nano reference carrier board.
  2. Ensure the NVME SSD is properly seated and secured.
  3. Open a terminal window on your host computer and navigate to the directory containing the l4t_initrd_flash.sh script.
  4. Run the following command to flash the Jetson Orin Nano 8GB to the NVME SSD:
sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 -p "-c ./bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" -c ./tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_t234_nvme.xml --showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit external

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during the flashing process, refer to the troubleshooting section in the NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide.

Comparison with Other Jetson Modules

The flashing process for the Jetson Orin Nano 8GB is similar to other Jetson modules, such as the Jetson AGX Orin and Jetson Orin NX. However, the specific commands and configuration files may vary depending on the module and its configuration.

Additional Resources

For more information on flashing the Jetson Orin Nano 8GB to an NVME SSD, refer to the following resources:

  • NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide
  • Quick Start documentation
  • Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit documentation

If you’re still experiencing issues, please provide the full log file (FlashLog.txt) and I’ll be happy to assist you further.

Thank you, I will do the serial log and report back.

I honestly just did an SD card installation and copied the boot and root to my SSD so I could continue progress.

My USB to TTL cable was not working so I had to do something. 😅

OK, glad to know it’s working now. Thanks
