Where to Download JetPack 5.x QSPI image on Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit

My Xavier NX is presently running JP4.5.1 and I would like to upgrade to JP5.x.

I know that I have to update the QSPI image before I can install JP5.x.

The NVIDIA instructions for updating the QSPI image say to “Download JetPack 5.x QSPI image on Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit” and then execute the following command sequence:
$ sudo flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0
$ tar -xvf Jetson_Xavier_NX_QSPI_35.1.tbz2 jetson-xavier-nx-devkit.spi.img
$ sudo flashcp jetson-xavier-nx-devkit.spi.img /dev/mtd0
and then continue with Steps 3 -5.

My question is: where do I download the JetPack 5.x QSPI image on my Xavier NX to be able to execute the above listed command sequence.

I have searched the Xavier NX forum without success.

@WayneWWW,

Thanks for the response, but your answer is not what I am looking for.

I have already been to that link and that is where the 35.1QSPI image can be downloaded.

What I want to know is to what location do I download the 35.1 QSPI image to on my Xavier NX so that the reference command sequence in my post above can execute the Jetson_Xavier_NX_QSPI_35.1/tbz2 image?

I have not tried it, but on that URL I see this:
Jetson_Xavier_NX_QSPI_35.1.tbz2

Is that what you are looking for if you unpack it:
tar xvfj jetson_xavier_nx_qspi_35.1.tbz2

I am not sure what is your exact question…

You know where to download the file and you know what command you need to run.

Then what are the rest problems you cannot know here?

The path for where to download this file to does not matter here… Just in case it is on the Xavier NX…

@linuxdev,

I know where to get the QSPI file for downloading.

To what location on the Xavier NX do I download the QSPI file so that it can be unzipped by tar into the jetson-xavier-nx-devkit.spi.img and flashed into the /dev/mtd0 location?

The location does not matter. You can unzip it to your home directory, to your Desktop… to anywhere you are able to run the follow up flash command on your Xavier NX…

@WayneWWW,

How about I download it to the Download directory and open a terminal window in the Download directory and perform:
$ sudo flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0
$ tar -xvf Jetson_Xavier_NX_QSPI_35.1.tbz2 jetson-xavier-nx-devkit.spi.img
$ sudo flashcp jetson-xavier-nx-devkit.spi.img /dev/mtd0

to write the jetson-xavier-nx-devkit.spi.img to the /dev/? Correct?

Yea, it is okay… the /dev/mtd0 path is absolute one so no matter where you run the command, it can find it…
