I’m very unsatisfied with my Orin Nano dev kit. I already spent enormous amounts of time trying to install operating system on it, and still without any lack.
At beginning, there were problems with installing Jetpacks on my SD card. there were firmware problems (see topic Orin Nano does not boots, opens terminal instead). Here I got advice to install system through SDKManager, without specifing more details about how to do it. Problem is SDKManager works only for Ubuntu and Debian, for both of which I have no access. All my computers running Linux Mint or Windows.
That why I decided to run SDKManager in docker. Althrough it’s totally not clear how to use docker version correctly and how to connect it to the device (I guess usb port should be somehow opened in a docker container; but I’m not expert in docker stuff). I have not found any instruction how to use docker version of SDKManager.
For me it’s very strange, that 80$ Raspberry just works after flashing a card, but 800$ Jetson Orin Nano has so many problems with the boot and lack of clear instructions how to solve them.
Can anyone provide me a step by step instruction how to boot Orin from docker’s version of SDKManager, or boot it some other way?
Hi,
It looks like it fails to read EEPROM of the Orin Nano developer kit. Please check if you have the developer kit in recovery mode before the flashing.
@DaneLLL How can I check it? As I understand, to make device enter the recovery mode, I need to connect FC REC pin with nearest GND pin. Is it correct?
I spent already too much time trying to set up operating system on that device, and setting up uart seems to be another time consuming action that can not give any help. I prefer return the device to seller instead.
Why do you keep suggesting in all posts that someone should buy a Ubuntu AMD64 computer to use a Jetson? Are you honestly unable to see the problems that people are having especially given that you have released a docker version of the SDKmanager that appears to only be happy when it’s purpose is removed as it must run on Ubuntu AMD64. You could at least enable the Docker image on all Linux versions but better would be to also enable OSX and Windows. The basic idea of having it on Docker should be to enable people to use it on other systems. You have a fantastic range of hardware that are hamstrung by an extremely limiting SDK manager.
