I’m currently experiencing an issue while trying to flash my Jetson AGX Orin Dev Kit 64GB. The flashing process is unable to complete successfully, and I’m encountering an error. Here are the relevant details and error messages:

Problem:
I’m attempting to flash the Jetson AGX Orin Dev Kit 64GB using the recommended tools and procedures, but the process fails partway through.

What I Did:

  1. Followed the official flashing instructions provided by NVIDIA.
  2. Used the correct configurations and files as per the documentation.

Terminal tab:

13:18:01 SUMMARY: Flash Jetson Linux - flash: First Error: Installation failed

The process initiates correctly, connecting to the target board and reading the ECID and EEPROM. However, it fails during the execution of tegrabct_v2, showing a command termination error shortly after it begins.

Steps Taken to Resolve:

  1. Rechecked all connections to ensure everything is securely connected.
  2. Verified that the correct files and configurations are being used.
  3. Tried rebooting the system and starting the process afresh.

Despite these attempts, the error persists. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can provide guidance on how to resolve this?

Hello,

Welcome to the NVIDIA Developer forums! Your topic will be best served in the Jetson category.

I will move this post over for visibility.

Cheers,

Please put the zip file from SDKM here.
None of the three files make help.

The EEPROM is corrupted:

Find the path to Linux_for_Tegra on your host PC, and do it like:

sudo BOARDID=3701 BOARDSKU=0005 FAB=500 ./flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit internal

After it can be flashed and boots into kernel, use i2cset to correct the cheksum bit in EEPROM.

Thank you for assisting me!

That was indeed the issue.
