[BUG] Flashing Orin Nano fails

[bryanhughes]

Describe the issue
I followed each instruction from the online tutorial (https://jetsonhacks.com/2023/05/30/jetson-orin-nano-tutorial-ssd-install-boot-and-jetpack-setup/) and it failed to flash the Nano. I tried it on both 20.04 and 22.04.

Which version of Ubuntu on the Host machine
Ubuntu version: 20.04

What version of L4T/JetPack
L4T/JetPack version: NA

Which Jetson
Jetson: Orin Nano

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• git clone this repo
• get_jetson_files.sh
• Connected the jumper on pins 9 and 10 and then plugged in with a green light
• Typed lsusb and the NVidia shows up
• ./flash_jeston_external_storage.sh
• Unplug
• Remove jumper
• Boot
• Tries all the boot options: "HTTP Boot over IPv4", "Start PXE over IPv6", "PXE over Ipv4", and "HTTP Boot over IPv6" and then goes to the shell.

I have tried different USB-C cables and ports on the host. Still nothing.

Expected behavior
It would work as demonstrated in the instructional video. The output was not the same with some errors and warnings. There was no output of a log file being generated.

Additional context
Why doesnt this stuff just work? You need to do better. Perhaps I have a defective Nano which I may just send back (thanks to Amazon).

@bryanhughes "Why doesnt this stuff just work? You need to do better."
Please don't use any code in these repositories. Ever. I can guarantee you that you will be disappointed.

You don't say what errors or errors you encountered, what you may have done different than the video, or anything else that may be helpful. You don't state what type of external storage you are using. I cannot divine what problems you are having.These repositories will never match your expectations.

The first paragraph in the README file tells you to use the NVIDIA SDK Manager. This repository was written before the SDK Manager supported these features, and has changed over time.

These scripts are simple wrappers around the NVIDIA flashing scripts. They are know to have (many) issues.

Personally, I would have checked the boot order to see if it was trying to boot from external storage. If it was, I would check to see if there was actually anything on the external storage.
