Jetson Nano B01 Boot Issue

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Nano
1

After purchasing eight Jetson Nano B01s, I wrote and booted images to the MicroSD Card in the way Get Started With Jetson Nano Developer Kit | NVIDIA Developer told me. However, the four Jetson Nano boots normally, and the rest do not connect to the monitor even though the power LED is on. The same symptoms were shown when the MicroSD Card mounted on the precision-operated Jetson Nano was mounted on the problematic Jetson Nano and then booted. I’d like you to tell me the solution.

Hi,

please re-flash with SDK Manager to update the bootloader on modules that do not operate correctly.

Bootloader resides in the QSPI memory on the module, not SD cards, so plugging a working SD card onto a device with problematic bootloader is not going to work.

4

VMware installed SDK Manager in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS environment.
The Jetson Nano Flash operation did not go further at 99%.
Can’t I leave the product A/S?

5

Hi,

then please try with a real Ubuntu host PC.
Flashing with virtual machines may be unstable.

6

Tried with an real Ubuntu host PC but shows the same symptoms.

Hi,

so the flashing ended without issues?
Any UART log here when the device fails to boot up?

This is the flashing log, not UART log…

10

I don’t have the cable from the video

11

Then please get one, or we cannot know why the device is not booting up properly.

Just want to clarify, is it that you still failed to flash the device, or the device failed to boot up?

12

Both.
First the device failed to boot up
so you said me “please re-flash with SDK Manager to update the bootloader on modules that do not operate correctly.”
However, flash operation did not improve to 99% in both VMware and Ubuntu host PC environments
So I still failed to falsh the device and the device failed to boot up

13

Hi,

can you try flashing with scripts in our BSP and attach the log here?
