How to flash jetson in the SSD

• Screen resolution!!!
• Download Nvidia SDK manager
• Conect the jetson to the computer (using the usb-c connector in the side of the GPIO pins)
• If powered on, turn it off
• Boot the jetson into recovery mode (press continually the middle button and then the power button until the LED turns on) - If you are in recovery mode, the LED should be on and no video output
• Open the Nvidia SDK manager, select the board and the wanted Jetpack version
• Click next and wait for the downloads to finish
• Ignore the flash screen and click in the folder icon next to the Jetson Linux OS
• In the folder, look for the file “flash_l4t_nvme.xml”
• Check the size of the ssd
• Calculate the number of sectors with a size of 512 in the ssd
• In the file “flash_l4t_nvme.xml” change NUMBER_OF_SECTORS to the calculated number
• Execute the following command:

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1 -c ./tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_nvme.xml -S 232GiB --showlogs --erase-all jetson-agx-xavier-devkit nvme0n1p1

232GiB → Change the value
