Hello, I use the Jetson Nano 2gb development board a view days. At beginning it worked all propper. But after the last software update (a normal sudo apt-get upgrade) the board hang at boot sequence. The Nvidia screen shows up for few seconds and after that the board seems to restart. Flashing a new SD card not help. It shows the same behaviour.

Any suggestions?

I won’t be able to answer, but if you have a serial console boot log it should point to whatever package “went bad”. See:
https://www.jetsonhacks.com/2019/04/19/jetson-nano-serial-console/

You might also mention which JetPack or L4T release this has on it, and verify if it uses the dev kit carrier board.

Also, mention if you used JetPack/SDK Manager to flash, or if a preexisting image was used.

What was the software release you were using before running apt-get upgrade?

Please dump the log as linuxdev’s comment.

1.Is there anything shown on the monitor?

  1. Did you have any customization on this board before? For example, let it boot from external storage?

I see only the Nvidia logo, nothing else happen. The board is at origin configuration.
I setup a 64gb SD card with disk imager and was able to steup the Nano. I installed with apt-get opencv and tensorflow and few other packages. it worked all propper. Than I performed a update(with the sudo apt-get upgrade/update). I saw that some new kernel files was updated. I reboot after update and the nano hang at boot at Nvidia logo.
I try to flash a new SD card with Image who earlier worked, but no effect. Meanwhile it is Jetson 451 image available, but it not work either.
I not attached a external storage. During first installation process it was a USB cam and a Raspberry cam attached to the board.

If you want to re-install the device, please use the image from dlc.

Some other users tell me the image from “Getting Started with Jetson Nano Developer Kit.” has problem.
