Jeton Orin Nano - Problem to load image first time

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to flash my Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit, but I’m stuck finding the correct SD card image.

I already tried following NVIDIA’s JetPack / Jetson Linux links, but they all redirect me to the JetPack 7.1 page (Thor / T4000 / AGX), and I can’t find any Orin Nano SD Card Image (JetPack 6 / R36.x).

I also tried an image previously (Jetson Nano / wrong model) and obviously it doesn’t boot — the board always falls back to UEFI HTTP boot.

Could someone please share:

  • The exact download link for the Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit SD image
  • Which JetPack / L4T version actually works
  • Or confirm if you had the same issue recently

I just need the real SD card image path — the current NVIDIA pages are very confusing for this Orion Nano image download.

Thanks a lot 🙏

Hello,

Thanks for visiting the NVIDIA Developer Forums.
To ensure better visibility and support, I’ve moved your post to the Jetson category where it’s more appropriate

Cheers,
Tom

Guilherme25. I am having the same issue. Broken links… I am not off to a great start.

Where you able to find the correct Orin Nano Developer Kit SD Image?

The links I am finding only point to jetsoninstaller-r38.4.0-2025-12-30-17-00-37-arm64.iso

When I try this one I get a error in Balenetcher when it validates the image. “Something went wrong. If it is a compressed image please check that the archive is not corrupted” I downloaded it three times over the past two days they are all identical with the following SHA-256 hash.

SHA256 = 33A6B84FC4D44B7CA6E27997355EB75A3ACDF7570F911106D9F00A7759FF5BEF

Thanks
