Just bought a new flashing cable (10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 USB A to USB C Data Transfer Cord), then ran the above command again, it still failed with different error below:

Reset the board to boot from internal eMMC.

24

Boot from SD card then hung at:

L4TLauncher: Attempting Direct Boot
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel…
EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table
EFI stub: Loaded initrd from LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path
EFI stub: Exiting boot services…

What should I do? Please help.

25

I am confused after looking at the log above. Reset the board to boot from internal eMMC. However, my Jetson Orin Nano board doesn’t have any eMMC. Was the flash process applied to my SD card? How do I reset the board to boot from the recently flashed SD card?

26

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

@harryvu can you DM me? I’m having a similar problem here but the Nvidia guys are just ghosting me now and Nvidia support won’t RMA the device, even though it’s within warranty.
