After update 4GB nano would not boot only emergy mode

Hi everyone,

After running a terminal update command, my Jetson Nano no longer boots normally and only starts in emergency mode. I need to reinstall JetPack, but I am facing the following issues:

  • Nano does not boot into the normal system, only emergency mode.
  • I cannot access BIOS using ESC, Shift, or F11, so I am unable to change the boot order.
  • I need to reflash JetPack, but I don’t know how to proceed without BIOS access.

Is there any way to force recovery mode or reinstall JetPack without accessing BIOS? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

What is your target JP version?

If you would like to install JP5.x/6.x version, please get the native ubuntu 20.04 (like dual boot) to install sdk manager and full flash the device.

Please refer to blow link to get more info

SDK Manager | NVIDIA Developer

Thanks

6x is the target, Maybe it’s because this is developer edition machine, but seems there is no exact guidance for restore and instructions that i found is having boot / bios option avaiable. I’m stuck with new HW that i can’t restore with available guidance.

I got SDK working with Ubuntu 24.04, and got SDK recognize my Nano, how ever. It says there is no SKD:s avaiable for my Nano. I tought jetpack 6 is supporting ALL nanos? did i buy some old model that is already outdated when it arrives to me ? I bougt seeed studio reComputer J10 model. Still confused :D

This is about the original Jetson Nano, not the Jetson Orin Nano.

Good point, i’m new with these. Issue stay’s the same, what is latest SDK and how it can be restored to Orginal Nano ?
