Hello, everyone
I got Jetson Nano module (board model p3450 and compute unit model 3448 180-13448-DAAA-B01, developer kit revision B02, Part Number is 945 13450-0000-100) .This Jetson i received from other developer, with the problem “after reboot it doesn’t boot at all”
I have tried to flash the Jetson with SDK Manager on Ubuntu 18.04, but faced with board detection
Here, attached logs:

As i consider, the problem is with QSPI flash. Any solutions to flash this board?

Additionally i added EEPROM dump
As i consider there is a problem. Someone wrote wrong P/N and that’s why flashing is incorrect

So, after bunch of tries, i have got this result:
Added BCFFILE="bootloader/${target_board}/cfg/board_config_p3448.xml"; line to p3448-0000.conf.common, and added BOARDID="3448"; FAB="000"; to jetson-nano-devkit.conf
This command was used to flash the device
BOARDID="3448"; FAB="000"; sudo ./flash.sh jetson-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1
So, it boots up, like on a screen, but usb attached mouse and keyboard doesn’t work

But after reboot by re-switch the power, on Putty (/dev/ttyUSB0 on host OS) i see only “..” and nothing more, neither the image on external monitor

Hi,

Before you flash your device using sdk manager, do you put the device in recovery mode?

Thanks

There are two things to do here.

  1. Please go back to your host PC, run l4t_create_default_users.sh in the BSP and “reflash” your board again. Then you won’t see above GUI anymore.

  2. After your system can boot up, check this website and enable serial console log. Use this serial console to dump dmesg to us so that we can check why your USB does not work.
