Jetpack failing after flashing the OS

I am trying to flash a Jetson Xavier using Jetpack 4.2.

After the OS is flashed, Jetpack prompts me to finish the Ubuntu setup wizard and input the login credentials of Xavier into Jetpack so as to finish installing the SDK components. When I do that and click ‘Install’, Jetpack says that it is unable to connect to the device.

I connected the Xavier to the host via with the provided usb cable and haven’t changed the setup after the OS got flashed. I tried reflashing once more, but the Jetpack failed with the same error.

The link below leads to an image containing the error and the relevant logs.

Assuming it’s correctly flashed, you may check this post. You may also try post-flash only with wired ethernet instead of ip over USB.

What do you mean by wired ethernet?
This is my current setup:

  1. Xavier: connected to host via usb and connected to the internet via a wired ethernet connection to a router
  2. Host: connected to xavier via usb and connected to the internet via the same router wirelessly

The link below contains the log files asked in the forum post you had linked.

Jetpack uses usb cable for flashing the image to Xavier.
But for the sw components, it is using wired ethernet. USB cable has nothing to do at this step.

In brief, if your host is able to ping the IP addr of Xaiver, it should work.

I have verified that the host is able to ping the Xavier. But jetpack still is unable to connect to the Xavier.

Sorry, if this is sdkmanager, it transmits the component through the usb cable. Could you share the result of “lsusb” on your host during installation failure?

Here’s the output of lsusb.

haranbolt,

I just notice your sdkmanager is still searching “NVIDIA Corp” in lsusb. It means the manager is trying to flash the OS.

Are you sure your device is flashed correctly and you are not flashing it again?

So, I have flashed the OS, but the SDK components haven’t been flashed. That’s where the problem lies.

Could you use manual script to flash the board? We just received some similar bug reports as yours.

Please use below steps and see if it can flash or not.

  1. Put device into recovery mode.
  2. cd Linux_for_Tegra
    3… sudo ./flash jetson-xaiver mmcblk0p1

Are you really sure the OS is flashed? I suspect this because in your sdkmanager, it is still checking “NVIDIA Corp”.

“NVIDIA Corp” checking is only needed when flashing OS. There is no need to do it when installing components.

hmm… per checked your log, it seems boot up. Are you able to see there is a USB interface with ip 192.168.55.1 in your ifconfig?

Also, you should also see another interface from ifconfig on your host PC.

These two interfaces should be able to ping each other when usb cable is connected. You don’t need a router.

Could you capture the log of installation failure? I don’t see you post it.

Here is the entire log when trying to install just the SDK components after the OS is flashed.

Could you tell me where the Linux_for_Tegra folder is? It’s not there in the files downloaded by jetpack

There is no change in the output of the ifconfig between when the xavier is connected via usb and when it’s not

Hi,

This log matches what I thought. Could you just share your the result of ifconfig with us?

16:50:08 DEBUG : running command < ip addr | grep 192.168.55.100/24 >
16:50:08 ERROR : command terminated with error
16:50:08 DEBUG : running command < lsusb | grep "NVidia Corp" >
16:50:08 ERROR : command terminated with error

Also, Linux_for_Tegra folder path is definitely under your host. Otherwise the OS flash would not be done.
It would be installed somewhere. Sorry that I am not with my office pc now so cannot give you the answer.

If I remember correctly, you can choose a path in sdkmanager.Linux_for_Tegra should be there.

Note: please share ifconfig result of both your host pc and xaiver.

there should as well be some peculiarity when host could be able to connect to guest[jetson] only after manually with keyboard and monitor the post installation configuration has been made at guest[jetson] where username and password are set. I understand that it is not the issue, but unless username and password are set manually, the sdk manager processed post installation can not be completed, as it seems to me from my experience.

I guess the usb-ethernet interface is not up on your host.

Here are the ifconfigs.
