While upgrading the firmware version using qspi boot loader facing some issue

Hello everyone, Currently I am trying to upgrade the firmware version from 35.0 to 36 using qspi boot loader but facing issue with that. Attaching the snapshots of the error messages for further reference.


Hi ravikumar.r1,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for Orin Nano?

Please share the detailed steps how do you upgrade from r35 to r36.
And what’s the exact version of r35 and r36?

I would also like to check the log in your case.

Hello @KevinFFF,

Hello @KevinFFF, Is there any solution for this?

Are you working on the devkit or custom carrier board for Orin Nano?

Have you tried to perform image-based OTA to update from JP5.1.3 to JP6.1?

Or have you tried just using the flash command directly?

Hello @KevinFFF, I am using developer kit, and I managed to upgrade it to jetpack 6.1 using SDK manager
