Jetpack 6.1 (SD card image) not working on Jetson Orin Nano Dev Kit

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Orin Nano

I just purchased the Jetson Orin Nano Dev Kit and I followed the following guide to install Ubuntu on the device: Get Started With Jetson Nano Developer Kit | NVIDIA Developer
I chose the SD card image option and I flashed the newest version Jetpack 6.1 on my SD card (JetPack SDK | NVIDIA Developer).
However, when I try to boot my Jetson Nano it goes to a black screen and does nothing. I had to flash the Jetpack version 5.14 for it work.
How do I make it work with version 6.1?
Thank you very much.

Hi
I see that your device is the Jetson Orin Nano, as indicated by the tag, but you’re asking if it’s the Jetson Nano or Orin Nano. The issue you’re encountering—where JetPack 5.1.4 works but JetPack 6.1 doesn’t—occurs because JetPack 6.1 requires an updated bootloader on the QSPI memory.

To resolve this, you can try one of the following options:

  1. Use a physical machine running Ubuntu 20.04 (not a VM or WSL) and install the SDK Manager to reflash the device (recommended approach).
  2. Follow the documentation to manually upgrade the bootloader on the QSPI memory and then attempt to flash using SD card again.

Thanks
