Hello,

I have received a new Jetson Nano Developer Kit. I tried to get it run following Getting Started with Jetson Nano Developer Kit.
Downloaded Jetson Nano Developer Kit SD Card Image.
Flashed SD image with Etcher.
Inserted SD card in Nano Kit
Plugged in power supply with output 5V-4A to power jack.
Plugged in HDMI, Keyboard, Mouse.
Turned on power.

I could see the LED next to Micro-USB connector turned on.
But there’s no output on display, basically no signal to display.

I even tried supplying power Micro-USB end, same result, LED turned on but nothing on display.

Is there any other setting to be done on developer kit?
Developer kit has part number: 945-13450-0000-100
Carrier board revision is B01.
Model: P3450

Kindly help.
Thanks in advance.

hello akhilesh_moghe,

could you please share the release version of the downloaded SD card image?
btw, there’s an alternative way of using NVIDIA SDK Manager | NVIDIA Developer, please also have a try.
thanks

Hello Jerry,

I had downloaded the SD card image from:
https://developer.nvidia.com/jetson-nano-sd-card-image

the downloaded SD card image is: jetson-nano-jp451-sd-card-image.zip

Thanks,
Akhilesh

hello akhilesh_moghe,

may I know is your Jetson Nano ever flashed before?

in order to rule out hardware issue,
could you please enable SDKManager to flash the board, or, please execute flash script at your local JetPack release path to flash the board manually for confirmation.
thanks

Hello Jerry,

The board is a new one, not flashed before.

I could flashed the board with flash script, following Quick Start Guide.
The board got flashed successfully, I could complete initial setup on board and can use board in headless mode.
But, there’s no output on HDMI display.
The Keyboard and Mouse are not working.

By following this Quick Start Guide,
is it expected to have any output on HDMI display
Or this quick start guide is only meant to provide terminal access in headless mode?

Thanks & Regards,
Akhilesh

please enable SDKManager to flash the board, it’s by default to install ubuntu desktop.
