A603 Flashing Issues with the IMX477

I have an A603+Jetson Orin Nano 8GB (ID 0955:7523 NVIDIA Corp. APX)

I’ll need to use it with IMX477 cameras. So I follow the instructions here Use IMX477 Camera with A603 Jetson Carrier Board | Seeed Studio Wiki

I’m on an Ubuntu 22.04.05, as my host machine.

I can flash 5.1.2 as well as 6.0.0 with no custom BSP applied, and I can boot, and of course the camera does not work as expected. On 6.0.0 the USB ports also seem to not be working without the custom drivers applied, again as expected.

But with the driver pack applied, I can’t get the jetson to boot after flashing it succesfully. On 6.0 it fails different than 5.1.2 to boot, but both fail anyway.

On 6.0.0, if I predefined the user accounts ahead of time, the boot sequences gets into a loop saying:
[OK] Started session 1 of user nvidia.
[OK] Started session 2 of user nvidia…

and so on forever.
If I dont define the user account / accept license ahead of time via the l4t_create_default_user.sh script, the machine boots in the initial setup GUI, but after going through the account/timezone etc setup, the gui exists when it hits “Hardware Configuration” and then the OS never starts after that; I just get a blank gui with a calender. rebooting just forces me to go through account setup again.

On 5.1.2 half the time the flashing process fails on step 3 on a time out, but when I’ve successfully gone through it, it reboots with no HDMI output. I successfully ssh into it but can’t get sudo access to do anything with this error:
sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid - and have the setuid bit set.
I’ve tried the steps both extracting the original BSP package with or without sudo in case it’s permissions issue.
( sudo vs no sudo… tar xf Jetson_Linux_R35…)

Hi there,

Are you able to locate the product serial number of your Jetson Module (900-XXXXX)?

Could you please try following file, it contained custom BSP patch for jetpack 6.1 (with IMX477 patch included):

603_jp6.1_imx477.tar.gz

sha256: BE62F1E22F19792FB9728C0D3DE70FCE36741E29BF30E908382755F2E36F2D3B

The basic process for flashing on A603 is the same with:

Please note that you’ll need to apply custom driver patch, otherwise your device will encounter errors with peripherals.

Thanks for the quick response Kevin. Here is the serial number:

900-44887-0000
REV:2.1
20230726

Do different batches / revisions behave differently?

I’ll try the driver pack asap and update here.

Cheers
