Something went wrong during the first attempt to install the OS (from the boot image). It started up fine initially, I initiated the install, but it crashed sometime in the middle of the install, and now every time I try to start it up, it gets stuck in a boot loop. Nothing I do seems to get it back. I tried the following:
- Tried creating a brand new image (including a brand new SD card, in case the one I tried initially was bad or something) and trying to re-install (it will not boot, just gets stuck in the boot loop)
- Tried installing the OS from the SDK - This seems to work initially, and it gets to the point that it stops and tells me to go on the Jetson to setup the username/password. However, I can’t do that because of the boot loop. I can’t get to any point where I have any control over what it does on startup.
- Tried connecting to it via console. I can see the output from the boot. There are no major errors that I can see, but I guess that I don’t really know what to look for.
Are there any permanent settings that would need to be cleared after a failed install? On a regular motherboard, I might take out the battery for a few minutes. I’m not sure if there is anything similar on the Jetson. Certainly the Jetson booted when I got it, I tried an install, and now it doesn’t boot regardless of what SD card is there.
