    Please help me with this issue . It is really blocking my project on Jetson .

Got BIOS messages via Debug UART Port and see this ASSERT (As the system stopped booting also)
orin_nano_log.txt (37.8 KB)

ASSERT [FvbNorFlashStandaloneMm] /out/nvidia/optee.t234-uefi/StandaloneMmOptee_RELEASE/edk2-nvidia/Silicon/NVIDIA/Drivers/FvbNorFlashDxe/FvbN) , Pls find the attached log .

Hi svaraikyam,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for Orin Nano?

It seems you hit a ASSERT in UEFI.
Do you modify anything in UEFI source and update the custom UEFI binary?

Hi Kevin
I am using Dev Kit for Orin Nano and in between resolving display flickering issue, perhaps enabled EFIFB option in BIOS . Though assert is unexpected , none of the option should cause that . moreover on display issue, I would go for reflashing Jetpack 6.0 GA (36.3) release . If the display issue persists afterwards , pls help me resolve that.

with re-installation of Jetpack GA from SDK Manager resolved the flicking issue now . The steps to reproduction of display flickering was some kind of automatic updates , I saw when used Jetson after 2-3 weeks. At that time , It was having Jetpacket 6.0 DP release .

Now I have one mystery still unresolved that why I see " Jetpack Missing" after I upgraded from Jetpack 6.0 Dp to Jetpack 6,0 GA from given steps on
How to Install and Configure JetPack SDK — JetPack 6.0 documentation.
What services/features will not be availlable becasue of this ?How to resolve this ?

For the ASSERT issue of FvbNorFlashStandaloneMm, it will be fixed in the next release.

Could you run the following command to check if your jetpack is installed correctly?

$ dpkg -l | grep nvidia-jetpack

Or you can run the following command to install it

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nvidia-jetpack

pls find the below screen shot.

So, it seems nvidia-jetpack has been installed correctly on your board.

I’m not clear about why jetson_release tool reporting that Jetpack missing!.
It seems a 3rd-party tool and you can ask the owner of this tool.
