Updating QSPI bootloaders without SDK Manager

I have flashed the sd card image from https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetpack to my sd card. After my orin nano did not boot I noticed this quote under the download link for the sd image: “If using JetPack 6.x SD Card image for the first time, you will need to update the QSPI bootloaders by installing JetPack 6 on your SD Card using SDK Manager, which will update the QSPI bootloaders as well. Please note that this is a one time requirement only. Once the QSPI bootloaders are updated, you can use JetPack 6.x SD card images for any future releases.”.

I am unable to use the SDK manager because of policies at my work. Is there a way I can update this manually, without the SDK manager?

This worked for me running from
$HOME/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_6.0_DP_Linux_DP_JETSON_ORIN_NANO_TARGETS/Linux_for_Tegra

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh
-p “–no-systemimg -c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml”
–network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal
