Unable to Flash Tegra A

aburhanu · July 9, 2019, 2:09pm

Hi,

I am working with Drive PX2.

My Host PC meets the system requirements as mentioned. I am using a native Linux PC: Software: Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS x86_64 X11 enabled on the host system Hardware: Memory: 8GB of RAM Hard disk: 120 GB of free disk space for the complete host and target deployed SDK version. Graphics card: NVIDIA Pascal (or newer) GPU (required only for running the sample applications on the host machine). A working Internet connection.

I have latest SDKM 0.9.12.4180 , and installed drive OS version 5.0.10.3,from https://developer.nvidia.com/drive/downloads#sdkmanager

The Aurix is updated to latest firmware

Yet, I not able to complete the Tegra A flash. In the log file from SDKM, this is what it says:

Dear aburhanu,

According to the log, SDK manager can’t access aurix part, so could you please help to check if you have set up as below picture? Thanks.

Hello,

I have done 1. & 2. I have not connected the device to the network. Since the installation happens form the host system. How important is it to have the device connected to the network?

Regards,
aburhanu

aburhanu · July 10, 2019, 6:24am

okay, I have tried 3. as well (connecting the device to network). Alas, the log looks the same as above.
Have you come across this issue for other drivepx2 adopters?

aburhanu · July 10, 2019, 6:26am

how do I ensure this:

16:31:06 INFO : Flash Tegra A : * Make sure you have permissions to access the ttyUSB that the Aurix resides on
??

aburhanu · July 10, 2019, 7:42am

The aurix firmware version is drive-V5.0.10-P2379-EB-Aurix-With3LSS-4.02.04
compilation date: Aug 13 2018

aburhanu · July 10, 2019, 10:59am

In minicom setup, I have set ‘Serial Device’ setting as '/dev/ttyUSB0 ’
Is this the right way of doing this ?

Here is a similar problem as the one I have encountered

SteveNV · July 11, 2019, 6:48am

Dear aburhanu,

For minicom setup, https://docs.nvidia.com/drive/active/5.0.10.3L/nvvib_docs/index.html#page/NVIDIA%2520DRIVE%2520Linux%2520SDK%2520Development%2520Guide%2FUtilities%2Fuart_dpx.html

I believe you can access DrivePX2 Aurix via minicom and then checked the Aurix FW version.
For kernel downgrade, could you please refer to DRIVE AGX Developer Kit Flashing Technical Bulletin doc in https://developer.nvidia.com/drive/documentation?

aburhanu · July 11, 2019, 6:59am

minicom : yes i followed this instruction, Flashing tegra A is unsuccessful. The logs are the same.
Aurix: Yes, I have pasted the Aurix version above by accessing aurix through minicom. The aurix firmware version is drive-V5.0.10-P2379-EB-Aurix-With3LSS-4.02.04
compilation date: Aug 13 2018
I will try the kernel downgrade and get back with the results

kayccc · August 6, 2019, 7:29am

Hi aburhanu,

Have you managed to the device up and running? Any result can be share or further assistance needed?

Thanks
