[Question] Error when running ./flash_jetson_external_storage.sh #14

Open thorbjornsomod opened 2 years ago

thorbjornsomod commented 2 years ago

Describe the issue We get the error output attached when running the flash_jetson_external_storage.sh script against an Nvidia Jetson TX2 NX with an NVMe SSD attached via a carrier board. Before running the script we are putting the TX2 in recovery mode, and we are able to see it listed as "Nvidia Corp." when doing a lsusb.

Which version of Ubuntu on the Host machine Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS

What version of L4T/JetPack L4T/JetPack version: Latest via this repo.

Which Jetson Jetson: TX2 NX

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: git clone https://github.com/jetsonhacks/bootFromExternalStorage.git cd bootFromExternalStorage ./install_dependencies.sh ./get_jetson_files.sh ./flash_jetson_external_storage.sh

Expected behavior We expected the script to complete successfully.

Additional context We are using a custom carrier board. However, for now we just want to flash the NVMe SSD attached to the Nvidia Jetson TX2 NX with the default OS.

NVIDIA only supports boot from external storage on the Xavier series Jetson (AGX Xavier, NX Xavier). The TX2 has a different software stack. You can ask more questions on the official NVIDIA Jetson forums, where a large group of developers and NVIDIA engineers share their experience: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/agx-autonomous-machines/jetson-embedded-systems/70

The official docs claim that NVIDIA supports booting from an NVMe for the Jetson TX2 series: https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/l4t/index.html#page/Tegra%20Linux%20Driver%20Package%20Development%20Guide/flashing.html#wwpID0E0LN0HA

The scripts here flash using initrd

https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/l4t/index.html#page/Tegra%20Linux%20Driver%20Package%20Development%20Guide/flashing.html#wwpID0E0PI0HA

It has a statement that it is only for Xaviers, which is what I've referred to in the past.

I have found that the documentation on this subject is circular, and self referential. Since I do not have a TX2 NX, the subject is difficult for me to explore.
