Can't boot Jetson Nano 2GB developers Kit with emmc only memory

Hello, I have a P3541 with a P3448 module with eMMc 16GB memory. I tried to flash it using the SDK Manager with a native Ubuntu 18.04 host machine but was not able to.

I will first describe how I tried to flash it to see if there is some mistake I haven’t seen.

I put it in recovery mode by jumping the FC REC ad GND pins and connect the board via de usb port. Then I power it using the usb C cable. The SDK Manager recognizes that the board is in recovery mode and gives me 3 options to choose. I choose the 2GB Devkit version and try to do the manual configuration (I then put the user and password I wanna use). Then I continue. The software starts flashing and it says its completed, now I have to set up my IP from the jetson Nano to finish the SDK components installation. I disconnect the jumper and try to boot it up but it freezes in the nvidia logo. Now I’m stuck.

Some context

That is the main problem, I will try to make some clarifications of how I ended up in this situation.
I bought two boards from the same supplier. They came with the OS already installed but at first I didn’t realize it, so I tried to flash the first one and it stayed like this. Then I realized the second one did boot and started using it. I tried to install openCV with CUDA support and seems I rewrote some system configurations because when I rebooted it it also stayed like this. I know the second one may be corrupted, but why does the first one not work? I tried to follow all the steps and even installed ubuntu 18.04 on an old machine to run the SDK Manager. What seems weird is that in the application, the SDK Manager tells me the flash was successful, it doesn’t give me any error messages.

Some information that may be relevant:

The usb manager in ubuntu says it is type 2 when I connect it.
I’m not running in a VM
I have an eMMC memory, not SD card.
I can’t see the board as an USB when I connect it to my computer, jumper or not.
I tried installing both the jetson nano and devkit (not 2Gb) versions just in case.

Some images of the board and the boot screen stalling



Hi,

  1. Your module is definitely not a 2GB Jetson nano thing because 2GB Jetson nano module does not have emmc. Please use the other 2 configs to flash

  2. Please read this link and dump the log from the uart console.

Okay, so it seems I was sold a 4GB module with a 2GB carrier board (the one with USB-C power supply). I think that may be the problem when flashing with SDK Manager. I tried to flash both the Jetson Nano and the 4GB Devkit versions but didn’t work.
Although, there was one change. Before, it showed the Nvidia screen and had a black screen flash every 5mins or so. Now it just stays on the Nvidia screen permanently with no changes.
I tried connecting with serial port but didn’t show any logs. I don’t know if I made a mistake herer or it simply doesn’t show any logs

I don’t think that board from 2GB carrier board could be used for that 4GB module. Better using the correct one first…

I contacted the provider and they sent me this link 链接:https://pan.baidu.com/s/1zRuKnGHlIry5SsqWTZrRdw. It seems I have a 4GB_2GB version sold in China. However I can’t download the firmware without a Chinese tel number. Do you know if there is a link in the forums for this version?

I’ll attach images of the supposedly official Nvidia instructions

This board looks like not a real NV devkit. More like a custom board from other vendor who claims it is a NV devkit.

We won’t sell a 4GB module on 2GB carrier board to you.
