Jetson Orin NX J4012 JP6.0 to JP6.1 via APT fails

Community
#1

Hi, i’m trying to upgrade via APT from JP6.0 to JP6.1 but it fails and the NVIDIA Guide does not cover the J4012 carrier board. Can you guide me to succeed?

I used this official guide: How to Install and Configure JetPack SDK — JetPack 6.1 documentation

My failure is described in the guide: ERROR. Procedure for A_kernel-dtb update FAILED.

But the fix does not work.
If you see the below error:

ERROR. Procedure for A_kernel-dtb update FAILED.

Use the following three commands, then re-attempt the upgrade. Do not reboot the device after running the below command, before re-attempting the upgrade.

sudo parted /dev/mmcblk0 -s rm 4
sudo parted /dev/mmcblk0 -s resizepart 3 67.9MB
sudo parted /dev/mmcblk0 mkpart A_reserved_on_user 67.9MB 101MB

sudo parted /dev/mmcblk0 -s rm 4
Error: Could not stat device /dev/mmcblk0 - No such file or directory.

But here is the full failed output:

Flashing J4012 (Orin NX 16 GB) with jetpack 6 fails
#2

Sorry, reComputer J4012 is not compatible with JetPack 6.1 yet. Please install listed JetPack versions on the wiki page by the instructions strictly.

#4

Hi, thanks for your response. What is the reason for incompatibly of the J4012 with JP 6.1? I guess if it can run JP 6.0 then 6.1 shouldn’t be a problem?

#5

As a third-party carrier board instead of official NVIDIA product, it has to be adapted with corresponding peripheral drivers on every JetPack versions. This is why every supported version has a standalone package on our wiki.

#6

Ah ok, i understand this. but by when are you going to provide the new image? JP 6.1 is out for a long time already and has very powerful improvements. So it is not just a maintenance upgrade. Can you just provide it soon?

#7

Thanks for your feedback. Our engineers are working on this currently, and we will update the wiki pages when finished.

#8

Any timeline available for Jetpack 6.1 support?

Thank you, much appreciated! I’ll keep an eye out. Can I just, out of curiosity and to understand the board better, ask whether support for Jetson 6.1 constitutes verifying whether partition configurations and pinmuxes and DTBs still work as expected everywhere, or also, as you hint at in a previous response, driver updates for peripherals? Which peripherals on the J-401 board would that be? Thanks!

Today is the day. But no JP6.1 so far. Will it happen today?
