Well, I have a Jetson nano 2gb. I tried to follow the instructions given in this link and as mentioned in that link, I used Balena etcher to flash my 64gb sd card. After the whole process gets completed, the sd card gets multiple partitions ( I swear I didn’t do anything between this outcome and while starting the flash) and I think this problem hinder by jetson nano to boot up and work…Is there any fix guys? or what wrong am I doing?

Btw, after the whole thing didn’t work, I formatted my sd card and flashed the os image again but the outcome was same…

Please help me out…

You must have those partitions to boot. Embedded systems do not have a BIOS, and for the most part those partitions are the equivalent of a PC’s BIOS.

okay…so you are saying whatever I did was right?

so there must be a problem in a way how am I booting it…Well @linuxdev , I’m using a headless mode setup to go foward…and I did whatever was mentioned in the documentation…but the device won’t show up at the ports section of device manager…

You will need to provide the boot log via serial console. See:

Well, I would surely love to do this serial debug console setup…put turns out, I don’t have those extra materials…so I might have to figure out another way to boot it up…
