Force Recovery Mode

To update your system, you will need to be in Force USB Recovery Mode so you can transfer system

software to the developer board. When in Force USB Recovery Mode, you are able to update system

software and write the boot loader, boot configuration table (BCT), and partition configuration to the

Tegra device.

See the Developer SDK documentation for OS specific instructions when updating system software on

your developer board.

To place system in Force USB Recovery Mode:

1. Power down the device. If connected, remove the AC adapter from the device. The

device MUST be powered OFF, 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 [4] 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 release the POWER button, if necessary; press

and hold the RECOVERY FORCE button; while depressing the RECOVERY FORCE button,

press and release the RESET button; wait two seconds and release the RECOVERY

FORCE button.
