Xavier NX got stuck at MB2

I have a platform for Xavier NX and Jetpack version is 4.6.2. The device got stuck at MB2 suddenly during booting. How does it happen? Could I repair it?

Hi,

Looks like partitions on the QSPI memory is broken.
Please try re-flashing like:

sudo ./flash.sh jetson-xavier-nx-devkit-qspi internal

Hi DaveYYY,

I was wondering what is causing it? We only power off and power on. Could we prevent the problem?

5

I don’t know the real use case so it’s hard to say.
We have tons of users reporting their devices not able to boot up, and most of them turned out to be QSPI being broken.

6

Hi DaveYYY,

Do you know the root cause of other cases? Could you share the information? We need to have some records about the issue.

7

NO.
I can only say maybe something like sudden power cutoff is likely to break the module.
