Hi all,

My Xavier A won’t boot up this morning, I didn’t do anything specifically to it and the Xavier B is working properly.

I try to take a UART read out and here’s the result I got

[0001.540] E> WP1.5 ACK pending

[0001.543] E> Error: 0

[0001.545] E> Task 79 failed (err: 0x32320006)

[0001.586] I> Reset to recovery mode

I also try to flash the system to recover, it also failed and the part of log output is here

Does anyone knows what’s going on and how to recover from that?

Dear @hao.wang,
Could you check flashing latest DRIVE SW release?

Hi,

It failed, also, in SDK Manager, the board has been identified as a Jetson board instead of Drive board, it warns me that I selected for the Drive board but it’s detected as a Jetson. Is it more likely to be a hardware issue?

4

Dear @hao.wang,
the board has been identified as a Jetson board instead of Drive board

This is surprising. Could you just connect only Drive platform and check again. Could you attach pictures if possible

6

Dear @hao.wang,
Could you provide any update?

Hi,

Amazingly it self healed on second day, we didn’t do anything after the attempt of flashing was failed but it just boot up and works fine on the next morning.
I’m sorry I didn’t save a image that it’s being detected as a Jetson in SDK manager, however out partner who’s working on another board told us that they have booting issues as well, sometime they have to do multiple power cycles in order to boot, and it’s always only boot up Xavier B but not A.
BTW just for clarification, the boards we have are Drive AGX boards so I might accidentally put the post under wrong subject.

Dear @hao.wang,
ok. So the issue is fixed now? If you see new issue file a new topic.
