Can't boot Jetson Nano, even with newly flashed cards

Hi, I had my Jetson Nano for more than year, I didn’t really use it in the last 6 months but know I can’t get it to boot correctly. I’ve tried 2 SD cards, tried to flash them with BalenaEtcher on mac, with the terminal on mac and with the terminal on Ubuntu and it’s always the same error (see below).

Any advice ?

Here is an OCR of the error:

Hi @williamd38b9

How are you generating the image for the sdcard?

You can create an sdcard image by using the followin command documented at Flashing to an SD

sudo ./jetson-disk-image-creator.sh -o nano.img -b jetson-nano -r 300

Where -r depends on your board model revision, 300 being b00 and b01.

You can then use etcher to flash it, also you can use dd instead of etcher to see if it behaves better:

sudo dd if=<sd_blob_name> of=/dev/mmcblk<n> bs=1M oflag=direct

Please let me know if this helps you

Hi @robertogs2, I downloaded the image in this tutorial: https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/learn/get-started-jetson-nano-devkit#write. Is there another image I should be using ?

I just tried to redownload the image from the site and flash it using Balena Etcher and it worked ! Should have tried that sooner… !

Move topic to jetson nano forum.

I’m sorry I thought it was in the Jetson Nano forum, how do I move it ?

I mean I already helped you move it.

Wonderful, thanks !
