Hi! I’ve just flashed my SD card with Jetpack 5.1.4 (to run ROS Noetic, that is compatible with Ubuntu 20.04 based OS), my Jetson Orin Nano previously run Jetpack 6, and when I inserted the SD card, the Jetson only get to the “starting boot screen”, and then the boot is not continuing.

When i change the SD card to the Jetpack 6-installed one, it can run normally. What could be the issue? is it the firmware, that has been upgraded previously to match Jetpack 6, and what could i do to solve this and still use Jetpack 5.1.4?

Hi,

Yes.
Please find a native ubuntu 20.04 not a virtual machine (e.g. WSL, VirtualBox, WSL) and install the sdk manager to flash the Orin Nano.

Thanks

Thanks a lot, mate! But, can i do that through SD Card method, like when I installed a Jetpack with BalenaEtcher? Or is it only can be done with SDK Manager?

Yeah, get the sdk manager is a quick way to flash device with Jetpack 5.x.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
You can using dual boot method to install the ubuntu.

Thanks
