All files in the jetson nano system are read-only and cannot be modified or created. All write operations are prohibited. The system has set all file permissions to read-only for protection. How to solve it? Is it necessary to re-burn the system? How can the original engineering files within the system be exported and saved? I tried all the operations, including ssh remote connection, but none of them worked. Please help me. ---

Issue was opened in AGX Orin forum, which Jetson platform you’re using? Jetson Nano or Orin Nano? Which JetPack SW? ---
