Unboxed nvidia agx xavier - impossible to flash

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson AGX Xavier

Good morning Community … I have bought and working on 2 jetson nano for college jobs and never had any problems. I then bought a jetson xavier agx and the problems have increased a lot to the point that I don’t know how to get out of it.

I tried to make the flash with version 4.1 but I am attaching the problem and I do not complete…

I tried to do the flash with version 4.6 but I am attaching the problem and I do not go forward

can you help me? I spent a lot of money but it seems like an impossible tool to start using

Thank you in advance

Hi,

Just some questions

  1. Is this your first time using this host to flash the board? Or did this host ever flash another jetson device before? Is that jetson nano flashed by this host with sdkmanager? (sdcard image is not included).

  2. Could you use this method to dump the log when the flash process is running?

Also, jetpack “4.1” is a little bit too old. Please also try some new version like 4.5.

Hi WayneWWW

Many Thanks you for your answer.

  1. The Host pc was used only for flashing Nvidia Agx Xavier itself. I tested version 4.1 and then 4.6 in sequence and attached are the logs.

  2. I’ll try to flash with version 4.5. and using your suggested method…I’ll collect the logs…and I’ll post everything just finished

Thanks…

So you cannot guarantee whehter this host is able to flash any jetson device with sdkmanager, right?

Correct… I cannot guarantee…

At the same time I Tried to flash using Jetpack 4.5 but I received an Error

Hi,

Could you choose to flash emmc instead of nvme? Also, this is still jetpack4.6.1 log… not jetpack4.5…

/home/giulio/JetPack4.5/JetPack_4.6.1_Linux_JETSON_AGX_XAVIER_TARGETS/

Also, this is not the serial log I am talking about.

Hi WayneWWW … luckily I fixed the problem.

First i changed ubuntu host, preparing a new machine. then i downloaded and installed jetpack 4.5 as you suggested. Everything was successful. Now I need to switch to the jetpack 4.6 version: which option do you suggest me to follow? to connect host with jetson using the usb cable or directly in ssh? I would not like to be in trouble again … thanks in advance

Hi,

I don’t understand your problem. Our flash tool only supports to flash board with usb cable.

The internet interface (ssh) is only for installing sdk e.g. CUDA/TensorRT. These software do not affect the OS. Just like you don’t need CUDA to be installed for your Windows to run.
