I want to downgrade my Jetson Orin Nano from JetPack 6.0 to JetPack 5.1.3 because the Intel RealSense d435i does not work with JetPack 6.0.
I have flashed my micro sd card with the 5.1.3 image however, it does not work on the 36.3 UEFI version. How can I downgrade this so that Jetpack 5.1.3 will work and is it possible without using sdk manager?
Hi anay.gokhale123,
To manually downgrade to Jetpack 5.1.3 without using SDK Manager, please refer to the documentation for flashing instructions.
Thanks
Hello,
The documentation says that I need an Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04 host computer.
Does it have to be one of those version? Can I use a newer Ubuntu version?
Also, Does it have to be Ubuntu specifically or can I use another debian based distro such as Linux Mint or Fedora?
Thanks
Yes, the way the whole process works requires Ubuntu and at best the same version on both PC and Jetson module. Maybe the PC version can be one LTS version older or newer then the Jetson version. Plus: no virtual machine. Won’t work. No other distro.

I followed the instructions from the post by @DavidDDD and after confirming that the board had entered Force Recovery mode I ran:
$ sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device mmcblk1p1
-c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml -p “-c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml”
–showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit internal
However, when I got “Step 3: Start the flashing process”, I repeatedly got “Waiting for target to boot-up…” until the display I had connected to my Jetson Orin Nano turned on and I got the boot screen. However, after it tried to boot, the screen went black and said “Input Not Supported” while the host linux terminal showed:
Waiting for device to expose ssh… Error: ipv6 address already assigned.
Waiting for device to expose ssh… Run command: falsh on fc00:1:1:0::2
SSH ready
then it did nothing for while and then did the following
mount.nfs: Connection timed out
Flash failure
Cleaning up…
and then the process ended.
The Jetson Orin Nano never rebooted and when I tried to manually reboot it, the flashing had failed and it showed me UEFI 36.3 still.
Please help me fix this.
Hi anay.gokhale123,
Your situation seems similar to the one discussed in this forum. I suggest disabling the firewall on your host PC and trying the process again.
Thanks.
Hello,
In my last message I gave that output that I saw and mentioned that it showed 36.3. Before attempting anything else, I just wanted to make sure that I could boot up Jetpack 6.0. However when I booted up the device with an sd card that was flashed with JP6, it now showed the version 5.0-35550185. According to this post it meant that I had successfully downgraded to the correct UEFI version needed for Jetpack 5.1.3. So I reflashed my sd card with jetpack 5.1.3 and it worked! I am now able to use my Jetson Orin Nano with that jetpack version.
Thank you for you help
