Hi, I tried to flash a Xavier AGX 16GB.
I read most of the forum entries and tried various methods.
In all of these methods the result was the same: Flashing ended as soon as the device should be detected.
Steps I did for flashing:
-
Connect USB -C Cable (1x with cable came with the AGX / 1x with another USB-C Cable) to AGX and Host.
On AGX I used the Port J512. It is on the same side like the USB Micro B port. -
Press Force Recovery (S503)
-
Press and Release Reset (S502)
-
Release Force Recovery
After these steps I have on my host a new USB device:
(With a normal reboot on the AGX I do not see this USB device)

- idVendor 0x0955 NVidia Corp.*
- idProduct 0x7019*
- bcdDevice 1.02*
- iManufacturer 1 NVIDIA Corp.*
- iProduct 2 APX*
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On the device is no output anymore (no output on HDMI / no output on the USB2Serial Ports, recogniced at the host as /dev/ttyUSB0)
Flashing Methods:
- SDK Manager 1.6.1.8175 (GUI)
- Tried with Jetpack 4.5.1
- Tried with Jetpack 4.6
Result for each of this method:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*** Reading ECID … *** Error: ECID read failed.
Put the target board in RCM mode and retry.

-
Console mode directly with:
./flash.sh jetson-agx-xavier-devkit mmcblk0p1- Tried with Jetpack 4.5.1
- Tried with Jetpack 4.6
Result for each of this method (with different version information for 4.5.1/4.6)

If I track down flash.sh call, I end up with the call:

JetPack_4.5.1_Linux_JETSON_AGX_XAVIER/Linux_for_Tegra/bootloader:# ./tegrarcm_v2 --uid

If I do a strace of this tool, I end up with:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
strace ./tegrarcm_v2 --ui

If I do a normal reboot on the AGX, the device comes up with some preinstalled Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS.
Right now I was not able to do at least one successful reflash.
I also tried to reflash the AGX from another linux host with the SDK method - with the same result (Error: ECID read failed)
Used host software:
64BIT Linux Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
How can I track it down further?
