First tried to create the crosscompile AGX "flash-script", that succeeded and flashed to the AGX inside emmc. Via serial port can been that ghaf-terminal comes visible and the versions in there are:

After the AGX-version that is flashed to the memory stick booted and via serial port can be seen the same version as with the "flash-script"-version.
The crosscompile NX flash-qspi was able to build and flash to the NX. After that the memory stick version booted and via serial port can be seen the the version as were also in AGX

Have tried native and crosscompile Orin AGX and NX-versions that flashed to the memory stick, all them boot to ghaf-terminal that check via serial connection in other laptop.

Issues

• in external-screen you can see only the kernel-ghaf screen on the boot up, but the GHAF-screen isn't visible.
• serial connection in AGX to net-vm failed, no connection to ghaf-terminal: minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyACM1

Notes:

• native flash-script not supported

Working:

• kernel-versions are same in all of them. Same versions as in the picture in up.
• can check ghaf- and nixos-version
• ethernet connection worked, can connect the ghaf-host from remove device
• reboot and shutdown work from command nine
• can create ssh connection from ghaf-host to net-vm
