Usb time out on Jetson Nano Orin 4GB

Day 4: The saga of flashing this thing continues. We’ve thrown everything at it—SDK Manager, JetPack scripts, and even a few Hail Marys. The script below? It’s the furthest we’ve made it so far, but it’s like we’re stuck on the first boss level of a game no one’s beaten yet.

Host is a Dell laptop 16 Gig Ram, Ubuntu 20.04, have tried 6 different usb 3.1 and usb c cables, and have disabled the auto-suspend but that still got the same error in same place. Please be Kind - I’m a dummy learning to spell Jetson.

For any usb timeout error right after bct_br sent, please refer to this Q&A

Try other usb cable may also help.

This is the error from you pdf file.

[ 0.3307 ] BR_CID: 0x80012344705DD31F800000000DFE8100
[ 0.4323 ] Sending bct_br
[ 0.5241 ] ERROR: might be timeout in USB write.

It’s now 20.04. - this issue was fixed by changing to a different host.

did a cold boot from both the dell and the nano this am, and ran the flash command and received the error in same place 3x and tied different cables (including an apple usbc cable).

I did rerun this command prior and unplugged the usbc cable and plugged it back in then powered up the nano - sudo -s
echo -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
