First, I think the point here is you should identify what platform you want to ask first.

Your topic said “Orin nx 8GB” and this topic is filed in Orin NX forum but your topic seems talking about Orin AGX devkit.

  1. Start with the Jetson Orin AGX devkit turned off and disconnected from the power supply.

Official orin NX carrier board won’t have a “button” to trigger recovery mode. There is only a pin and need to use jumper to trigger…

Thus, I really don’t know what platform you are doing here.

I want to add that the recovery button (or pin on models with pins) operates like a shift key on a keyboard. You would hold it down while either (A) resetting power on a running system, or (B) adding power to an unpowered system, and then letting go of recovery (there is no requirement to hold down the recovery button/pin).

This sequence would be invalid:

  1. Start with an unpowered system.
  2. Hold recovery down, or short pins on the model, depending on whether your model has pins or a button.
  3. Press and release power reset button.
  4. Let go of the recovery button.
  5. Turn on power.

During the illustration of an invalid sequence it would have failed because the power reset button only works if power is already applied, and adding power did not have the recovery button down while powered on. Valid recovery mode implies an already powered system being reset with recovery button held down, or else powering on with the recovery button held down.

VMs tend to fail, they need to be configured to pass through the USB. If USB is passed through, VMs tend to still fail because the USB will drop and reconnect during flash (VMs need even more configuration to make sure the USB reconnects after a disconnect). You’d have to ask the VM people for virtual box how to do that.
