<div align="center">
<img width="{600}" src="https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/reComputer-Jetson/mini/reComputer_mini_rec.png" />
</div>

- **Step 1.** Connect a USB Micro-B cable between USB2.0 DEVICE port and the ubuntu host PC.
- **Step 2.** Use a pin and insert into the RECOVERY hole to press recovery button and while holding this.
- **Step 3.** Connect the power supply.
- **Step 4.** Release the recovery button.

On the Linux host PC, open a Terminal window and enter the command `lsusb`. If the returned content has one of the following outputs according to the Jetson SoM you use, then the board is in force recovery mode.
- For Orin NX 16GB: 0955:7323 NVidia Corp
- For Orin NX 8GB: 0955:7423 NVidia Corp
- For Orin Nano 8GB: 0955:7523 NVidia Corp

### Flash to Jetson with Single Command.

<details>

<summary> Flash the device with a single command. </summary>

The reComputer Jetson J30/40 Mini has launched a one-click flashing script, which supports flashing Jetpack 6.0.

```bash
wget -O ./flashing.sh https://files.seeedstudio.com/OSHW_Jetson/flashing.sh && sudo chmod 777 ./flashing.sh && ./flashing.sh
```

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZFBzTlyOjhE?si=uNN-l5VVGbAyGnot" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

:::caution
Disclaimer: The one-click flashing script aims to make jetpack flashing quicker. The current version is a beta one and may have many problems. We hope for your understanding. If there are flashing issues, follow the `Flash The Device Step by Step` below and give feedback in our [Discord Jetson channel](https://discord.com/channels/862602258452578314/930732339624026152). We'll fix them promptly and improve this function in the near future.

```

**Step 2:** Execute the following command to flash jetpack system to the NVMe SSD:

```bash
cd mfi_xxxx
# For example: cd mfi_recomputer-orin-j401
sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --flash-only --massflash 1 --network usb0 --showlogs
```

You will see the following output if the flashing process is successful
