Unable to flash NVMe in Jetson Orin Nano 8GB Waveshare

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Orin Nano
1

Hello,

I’m using a Windows 11 PC with WSL2 installed, along with Ubuntu 20.04 and the SDK manager. USB and other peripherals are functioning properly. I have a Dell Precision 5570 with only USB-C ports, and I’ve connected a Thunderbolt 4 cable (I’ve also tried others) to the Jetson Orin. I’m utilizing the Waveshare Jetson Orin Nano Devkit with 8GB of RAM, and I have the original NVMe storage that was included, although I’ve also tried other storage options with the same results.

Even when attempting to flash only the operating system without installing additional dependencies, the issue persists. Honestly, I’m still uncertain about the root cause of the problem despite trying different versions such as 5.1.3, 5.1.2, and others.

Don’t use WSL2.
Try again with a real Ubuntu PC.

I hope this is a 1st april joke…

NO, I’m definitely not making a joke.
Or you need this:

The default WSL2 kernel doesn’t come with RNDIS support so it cannot be used for initrd flash.

SDK Manager supports flashing and installing SDKs on Jetson, Holoscan, and Ethernet Switch hardware from a Windows computer using WSL systems. To set up your environment, follow the instructions below. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) — sdk-manager 2.1.0 documentation

I think I have stated it very clearly here.

How about adding it to your website? Because according to that page, there is nothing written about this. It just says it is supported, and you are saying something else. How does one know that it is true? How about putting it in the official documentation that it just doesn’t work? I don’t have fortune-telling abilities. For now. Or was this documentation page generated through ChatGPT?

YES, we will ask the team handling this document to update it.
The SDK Manager doc is different from the Jetson Developer Guide so we don’t have direct access to it.
That’s why I put the method in Q&A.

Okay, thank you. That’s all. This can be closed.

Or alternatively, you can try

sudo ./flash.sh jetson-orin-nano-devkit-nvme internal

under Linux_for_Tegra.
It uses a different method to flash the NVMe drive from what SDK Manager uses, and does not require any trick of rebuilding the kernel.
