[BUG]Xavier NX not flashable.

[iPsych]

Describe the issue Xavier NX with EMMC which 1)can successfully go to Force-Recovery Mode 2)Flash using nvidia SDK Manager works fine. 3)I could migrate to NVME using https://github.com/jetsonhacks/rootOnNVMe (Which no problem, since I will let EMMC as is... unlike SDcard, it's no problem.

Which version of Ubuntu on the Host machine Ubuntu version: 18.04 LTS

What version of L4T/JetPack L4T/JetPack version: Jetpack 5 Which Jetson Jetson: Xavier NX

So, my question is Xavier NX with EMMC is not flashable using this tool? I am using it now with your awesome rootOnNVMe tool. Just curious & for confirmation.

I don't understand the question. What error message did you receive when using this code?

After following the instructions and after flash_jetson_external_storage.sh the jetson isn’t booting up. the process was successful at the end of the burn.

Ubuntu version on the Host machine: 18.04 LTS

Jetson: Xavier NX Board - Seeed Studio 203

Remarks I am able to flash the jetson using the SDK manager and migrate to NVME using the rootOnNVME repo

I may be able to add some additional context here since I just tried (unsuccessfully) to flash an Recomputer R2021, which uses the Xavier NX dev kit with eMMC. Here is the stdout I get when running the flash_jetson_external_storage.sh script with defaults:

Flash failure
Cleaning up...

Note: I have installed an external storage device that was previously recognized at /dev/nvme0n1 with the pre-installed 4.6.1 Jetpack and an upgrade flashed using the steps from the vendor. I think I will use the NVidia flash instructions and then just use the rootOnNVME repo referenced above.
