Booting Orin Nano with nvme only

Hi

I’m using a Waveshare carrier board with Jetson Orin Nano, which does not have SDCard, only Nvme socket. I tried to flash the board with SDK manager several time. the flashing process in going through to the point that it’s expected the board to boot up. the flash fails (note that the board is on and I have uart output). after that the board won’t boot by it’s own when I disconnect and reconnect the power. my assumption is that it is expecting something else (sdcard) beside Nvme and it’s not reading Nvme for bootloader and OS. PWR led is on. no output on UART. no fan spin.
funny enough when I swap the Orin nano with an Orin NX, with same Nvme (that has OS for nano and partly flashed), it’s booting all the way to the OS.

what’s the problem here?

we are currently designing a custom carrier board which should be compatible with both NX and Nano and they should be able to boot from nvme.

UPDATE:
I tried it with JP 5.1.2 and it’s flashing now. it should be a bug with JP 6.0.

Update 2:
tried to compile Jetson linux v36, config: jetson-orin-nano-devkit-nvme, also not working with orin nano. it’s compiling and flashing succesfully but won’t boot.

This is a vendor carrier board, you should check with the if able to use SDK manager or with flash command to flash you board.
