Hello, I have a Jetson AGX Orin Development Kit. Yesterday, I flashed the module with the latest drivers from this page: [Jetson Linux | NVIDIA Developer](https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetson-linux-r3643), I have used instructions from this page: [Quick Start — Jetson Linux\<br/\>Developer Guide 34.1 documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r34.1/DeveloperGuide/text/IN/QuickStart.html#to-flash-jetson-developer-kit-operating-software).

Yesterday that did work. Now, I can’t boot into the system. After I power on the machine, the Jetson system firmware screen appears, and after that, I get a black screen. When I connect the module to my host PC, I can’t find it in the USB devices, and the SDK Manager also doesn’t detect the Jetson AGX module. Is there a possibility to flash the Jetson from a USB or SD card so that the module isn’t connected to any host?

Hi,  
If the device cannot be flashed/booted, please refer to the page to get uart log from the device:  
[Jetson/General debug - eLinux.org](https://elinux.org/Jetson/General_debug)  
And get logs of host PC and Jetson device for reference. If you are using custom board, you can compare uart log of developer kit and custom board to get more information.  
Also please check FAQs:  
[Jetson AGX Orin FAQ](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/jetson-agx-orin-faq/237459)  
If possible, we would suggest follow quick start in developer guide to re-flash the system:  
[Quick Start — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r36.4/DeveloperGuide/IN/QuickStart.html)  
And see if the issue still persists on a clean-flashed system.  
Thanks!
