To update your device, you must be in Force USB Recovery Mode so that you can transfer system
image to the Jetson Xavier NX device. To place device in Force USB Recovery Mode,

  1. Power down the device. If connected, remove the DC power from the device. The device must
    be powered OFF, and not in a suspend or sleep state.
  2. Connect the Micro-B plug on the USB cable to the Recovery (USB Micro-B) Port on the device
    and the other end to an available USB port on the host PC.
  3. Connect the power adapter to the device.
  4. With the system powered on:
    ⚫ Press and hold the RECOVERY button with paperclip.
    ⚫ While pressing the RECOVERY button, press and release the RESET button with paperclip.
    ⚫ Wait 2 seconds and release the RECOVERY button.
  5. After NC_X1 enter Force USB Recovery Mode, if it connected to Linux Host PC/NB already,
    execute “lsusb” command on Host PC/NB, a “0955:7e19 NVidia Corp.” device will appear. If
    not, perform Step 4 above again.
