Cannot boot Jetson Orin Nano from SD card, Boot Manager doesn't see SD card

Hello!

I am trying to boot my new Jetson Orin Nano from an SD card, and it’s not working.

I do not currently have access to a linux machine or an SSD, so the SD card is the option I went with.

I am following the directions listed here: Initial Setup Guide for Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit | Jetson AI Lab

The firmware on my Jetson came as 36.4.3, so so as the guide said I went straight to trying to boot from the 6.x SD card. I flashed the 6.2.1 Jetson image linked in the above guide onto a 64G micro SD and then tried to boot it up. It then gives me the error “Could not detect network”.

It then drops into the UEFI shell.

I checked the boot manager to see if the device was even detecting the SD card, and I don’t see it in the list of boot options.

I have tried re-flashing the SD card multiple times, this didn’t change anything. I tried plugging in the ethernet cable since I’m getting a network error, the device then just tried the four different ways to boot from network and failed, it then dumped me into the shell again.

I’m not sure what to do now. Thanks.

Hi,

We suggest to use sdk manager to full flash your device.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. As said in my post I currently don’t have access to a Ubuntu machine and it is my understanding that the SDK manager requires one. Is this correct?

Hi,

Yes.
In this case, we recommend using the SDK Manager to flash the device.

Thanks
