  • do not try to update with seeedstudio's firmware. It's not updateable after that
  • instead use sdkmanager from nvidia:
    • do manual install. Automatic will try to update the seeedstudio stuff which will fail
    • manual install requires forced recovery mode which requires a USB connection
      • to do forced recovery with unit unplugged:
        • use a paper clip to press the recovery button
        • while pressing the recovery button apply power
    • attach USB cable to “device port.” For USB the cable used matters. I had luck using usbc ←→ usbc. Using usba ←→ usbc failed
    • 1/2 way through the install process, sdkmanager will want to reconfirm/switch how host is communicating to the target. At this point the target is booted into the new OS
    • at that point I switched to ethernet as both units were connected to my router. I'm not sure if sticking with usb might have worked
