Based on the provided context, I’ll try to help you troubleshoot the issue with your Jetson Orin Nano.

Firstly, let’s break down the steps you’ve followed:

  1. You’ve downloaded the JetPack 5.1.4 SD card image from the NVIDIA Developer website.
  2. You’ve unzipped the file and obtained the sdblobb01.img file.
  3. You’ve used Balena Etcher on your Windows PC to flash the formatted SD card with the sdblobb01.img file.
  4. You’ve inserted the SD card into your Jetson Orin Nano, but it cannot boot.

Now, let’s analyze the possible reasons for the issue:

  1. Incorrect SD card image: Although you’ve downloaded the correct image (JetPack 5.1.4), it’s possible that the image is not compatible with your Jetson Orin Nano module. Make sure you’ve downloaded the correct image for your module (P3767-0005).
  2. Incorrect flashing process: Balena Etcher is a reliable tool, but it’s possible that the flashing process was not successful. Try re-flashing the SD card using Etcher, and make sure to select the correct device (SD card) and image file (sdblobb01.img).
  3. SD card compatibility: Ensure that your SD card is compatible with the Jetson Orin Nano. The recommended SD card specifications are not mentioned in the provided context, but you can refer to the NVIDIA Developer website for more information.
  4. Boot order: When you insert the SD card into the Jetson Orin Nano, make sure that the UEFI SD Device is set as the top boot device in the Boot Manager. If it’s not, refer to the Customizing the Default Boot Order in the UEFI Menu section for more information.
  5. Firmware version: You’ve mentioned that your firmware version is 3643gcidxxxx. Although this is not explicitly mentioned in the provided context, it’s possible that this version is not compatible with the JetPack 5.1.4 image. You may need to update the firmware to a compatible version.

To troubleshoot further, you can try the following:

  1. Check the SD card for any errors using a tool like H2testw (for Windows) or F3 (for Linux).
  2. Try booting the Jetson Orin Nano with a different SD card or a different image file.
  3. If you have access to a Linux host computer, try flashing the SD card using the dd command instead of Etcher.
  4. If none of the above steps work, you may need to update the firmware to a compatible version. However, this is not explicitly mentioned in the provided context, so you may need to refer to the NVIDIA Developer website for more information.

In comparison to the provided context, the steps you’ve followed are similar to the ones mentioned in the Flashing to an SD Card section. However, the context does not explicitly mention the firmware version or the SD card compatibility, which could be potential causes of the issue.

I hope this helps you troubleshoot the issue with your Jetson Orin Nano. If you have any further questions or need more assistance, feel free to ask.
