Reset your ZED Box Mini

Should I flash my ZED Box Mini? #

The ZED Box Mini comes with pre-configured drivers that meet its requirements.

This procedure is intended for advanced users who need specific system configurations (i.e. a file system upgrade) or if the installation is broken and the ZED Box Mini is not functioning correctly or fails to boot.

Flashing your ZED Box Mini should be considered a last resort unless you have sufficient knowledge and expertise in the process.

Upgrade/Reset #

At the time of writing this tutorial, the NVIDIA® SDK Manager does not support automatic flashing of the ZED Box Mini Jetson modules. Therefore, you must manually flash the device using the provided terminal scripts.

Force the ZED Box Mini in Recovery mode #

⚠️ It is not required to open the ZED Box Mini to force it into Recovery mode. Opening the box will void the warranty ⚠️

    sudo reboot --force forced-recovery

    1. Connect the power
    2. Use a pin to push the RCV button

Connect a Type-A/MicroUSB cable to a host device running Ubuntu 22.04 and to the OTG port of the ZED Box Mini.
