12.7 USB Recovery Mode
USB Recovery mode provides an alternate boot device (USB). In this mode, the system is
connected to a host system and boots over USB. This is used when a new image needs to be
flashed. To enter USB recovery mode, the
FORCE_RECOVERY* pin is held low when SYS_RESET*
goes high which can be when the system is powered on or
SYS_RESET* is asserted after the
system is powered on.
FORCE_RECOVERY* is the SoC RCM0 strap.
Only
USB0_D_N/P supports USB Recovery Mode.
No other signals are required or supported for entering Force Recovery mode. Neither VBUS
or ID detection is needed. As long as the force recovery strap is held low coming out of reset,
Jetson Xavier NX will configure USB0 as a device and enter recovery mode.
See the USB section (Section 6.1) for an example figure that shows USB0 connected to a USB
Micro B connector.
