VERY embarrassing morning today.
Jetson Nano Developer Kit A02, I use it almost everyday. Even Yesterday afternoon.
But it cannot boot-up at all this morning with short logs as follow:

I put the microSD card into another Jetson Nano A02 dev. kit, runs OK
And B01 version, definitely OK.
And tested 5 other microSD cards. FAILED ONLY on this dev.kit.
No electrical/physical damages I’m sure.
Where should I dig in this case?
Could you put an empty sdcard to this board and flash it with sdkm r32.5?
Did you remember what caused this problem?
Wayne,
I think that flashing new microSD card is the last action.
I cannot remember any abnormal events, because I use it on the table most of time.
Hi,
The steps I want to try is
-
Use an empty sdcard, plug to this board → please note that this card is new one or some cards that you can format.
-
Flash the board + this card with sdkm rel-32.5 → confirmed if this board can boot up now.
-
Remove this new card and plug the old card. See if you can boot up now.
Is it ok for you to try that?
Definitely YES, it is.
I will update it
Wayne,
It’s very weird!
I flashed new microSD card through SDK manager, JetPack 4.5.1 latest one.
Jetson Nano dev.kit works quite well now even the old microSD cards, except one.
How can I understand it?
Hope it will work well tomorrow morning too.
Thanks

Jetson Nano dev.kit works quite well now even the old microSD cards, except one.
Which one? Is that problematic card in the beginning?
The troubled one is L4T R32.1.0 based image.
It does not boot at A02 version yet, but does well with B01.
And other sdcards are R32.4.x or later images.
This R32.1.0 based image shows following logs:
In: serial
Out: serial
Err: serial
Net: No ethernet found.

Never meet these failures.
I would suggest maybe you should not use r32.1 since it is out-of-date.
The boot process includes the some bootloader on QSPI. If you only change/replace the sdcard on your device, for any release prior to rel-32.5, it would not update the QSPI on device.
Thus, it would cause a situation that your card is rel-32.1 while the bootloader on qspi is rel-32.5 or rel-32.4.3.
I think such case is lacking of QA verification. For example, we don’t check the combination of rel-32.5 bootloader + rel-32.1 sdcard image and it may cause problem like your current issue.
I think so, VERY out-of-date.
Something to keep is inside there. But I have to move to the latest env.
Very embarrassed morning yesterday.
Thanks,
