Flashing a New System Image

If you need to install a different JetPack version or re-flash the system, use the dcs-deploy tool.

Warning: Flashing performs a full reset. All data on the Jetson module will be erased. Back up anything important before proceeding.

Step 1 - Enter Recovery Mode

Recovery mode can be entered in two ways:

Option A - Hardware (recommended for a clean board):

Short FC pin with ground on DCS boards (See "Connectors, controls and indicators" section for your specific board)

Option B - Software (from a running system):

SSH into the board and run:

sudo reboot --force forced-recovery

Note:

While in Recovery mode, the device cannot be connected to via SSH, the cooling fan does not run and two red LEDs on the Default expansion board should be blinking alternately

Step 2 - Verify Recovery Mode on Host PC

With the board in recovery mode and USB connected, verify the Jetson device is visible:

lsusb | grep -i nvidia

You should see an entry similar to:

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0955:7523 NVIDIA Corp. APX

Step 3 - Flash with dcs-deploy

Follow the instructions in the dcs-deploy README to select your target image and begin flashing.
