Etson Nano + JetPack 4.5: System won't boot after installing Docker and ROS2 (No display, no Wi-Fi, OLED not responding)

[n76121046]

📌 Device Info

• Device: Jetson Nano 4GB
• OS: JetPack 4.5 (L4T R32.5.0), flashed via SD card image
• Display: OLED panel (usually shows IP at boot)
• Network: Wi-Fi was previously configured and connected successfully

⚙️ Installation Process

1. Successfully flashed JetPack 4.5 to SD card — system booted normally, OLED panel worked.
2. Installed Docker (using standard Jetson installation instructionshttps://jetbot.org/master/software_setup/docker.html).
3. Installed ROS2 (foxy).
4. After reboot:

• OLED panel is blank
• Wi-Fi is no longer auto-connecting

🐞 What I’ve tried so far

• Swapped SD card back to an older one (without Docker/ROS2) → boots normally → likely not hardware-related.
• Checked SD card insertion — secure, but no display or network.
• Attempted to manually remove Docker containers via external Linux machine (mounting the SD card) → no success.
• Tried disabling auto-start Docker container with:
  sudo docker update --restart=no jetbot_display
  → but the system never gets far enough to apply it.

Please refer to About the process of building ROS2 docker container in Jetson nano devkit (jp4.5.1) - Jetson & Embedded Systems / Jetson Nano - NVIDIA Developer Forums to see if can help. Thanks
