Could not flash my brand new Jetson Orin Nano 8G Devkit

Finally, I solved the problem with help from Dave. So, I document the process here to help the community.

Basically, make sure you have a good SD card with write speed is at least 90MB/s and a good flashing cable for fast a reliable data transfer.

  1. Format your SD card and insert into the SD card slot on the board.
  2. Put the board in “Force Recovery Mode” by connect pin 9(GND) and pin 10(FC REC).
  3. Turn on the device by plugging in the power cable.
  4. On your Ubuntu host, verify that it recognizes your Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano board. You can run the lsusb command to verify that.
vboxuser@Ulab:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0955:7020 NVIDIA Corp. L4T (Linux for Tegra) running on Tegra

Then just run the flash.sh

sudo ./flash.sh jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal

If it failed, check and verify everything to make sure you meet all the requirements described above, then try again.

Enjoy
