Jetson Nano Development Kits Stopped Booting

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Nano

Hello:

I have a pair of Nano dev kits which have stopped booting when used in the same manner. The second one booted only once when fresh out of the box, and then exhibited the same behavior as the first.

Both units were placed in a makeronics acrylic case, and had three sensors attached:

I2C_1 pins: 2 (5v), 4 (GND), 27 (SDA), and 28 (SCL)
I2C_2 pins: 4 (5v), 9 (GND), 3 (SDA), and 5 (SCL)
input sensor: 1 (3.3v), 20 (GND), and 22 (input)

The wires above are custom, but are all inside of plastic DuPont connectors. At last reading, all three sensors reported as expected.

Connecting an Adafruit TTL to USB device to the GND, UART TXD and UART RXD (crossed over) yields no chatter over minicom when attempting to boot on either board. The result was the same when using a fresh SD card image. Removing the boards from the case yielded the same results, so I don’t think it is grounding itself on a screw or similar.

Both boards, however, do show up in lsusb as expected (NVIDIA Corp. APX) when started in forced recovery mode, done by jumping the FC REC and GND pins and connecting a micro USB to another device.

Any assistance in troubleshooting this (and hopefully saving the boards!) would be very appreciated.

Thank you

Hi MLE_guy,

Is that the devkit from NVIDIA or custom board?

Have you tried to use SDKM to flash and check if it could boot up?
You could refer to this instruction for SDKM.

Do you refer to the following instruction to capture serial console log with your TTL to USB cable?
Jetson Nano & NX Style - Serial Debug Console - JetsonHacks
We would need the serial console log to do further check.

Thank you for your response, and apologies for the delay. I had to order in a barrel connector.

Both are NVIDIA dev kits, model P3450. I did follow the tutorial video you provided, and do not get any output.

I was able to successfully flash one of the boards using the SDK Manager, and it appears to be working normally. The second, however, fails with “ERROR: Flash Jetson Nano - flash — Parsing board version (ERROR: calculated CRC8 0x38 != stored CRC8 0xbc) succeeded.”

I’ve also attempted to flash manually by means of “sudo BOARDID=3448 FAB=000 ./flash.sh jetson-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1” which fails with:

…
Command tegrarcm --download ebt cboot.bin.encrypt 0 0 --download rp1 tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-000-a00.dtb.encrypt 0
Failed flashing t210ref

Am I missing something, or is there something more I can try?

Thank you

Can you open the serial console with putty or minicom related application?

You could just simply flash with the following command:

$sudo ./flash.sh jetson-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1

Do you try flah with SDKM since you are using the devkit?

Please also provide the flash log for further check.

Hello:

Yes, I am able to open minicom and receive the expected chatter on the now-working board that I was able to flash through SDK Manager (so the cable should be good). There is no output from the non-working board using the same method (minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0, which is the correct device). The cursor just blinks or will occasionally put out a single character when the device is turned on but nothing thereafter.

Attempting to flash the board using “sudo ./flash.sh jetson-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1” yields:

sudo ./flash.sh jetson-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1

17:35:32 SUMMARY: DateTime Target Setup - target: Depends on failed component

As to the SDK Manager result, I am using a fresh 18.04 install on bare metal and have checked for missing or broken packages with “sudo apt --fix-broken install” and “sudo apt --fix-missing install,” and neither showed anything amiss.

Any advice or insight would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Do you mean that only one board flash failed and another one flash and boot up as expected?
Is there any difference between them? (jetpack version? flash method?)

From the flash log, it seems some board information stored in EEPROM missing which causes flash failed.

Please try to flash the non-working board with the following command.

$sudo BOARDID=3448 FAB=100 BOARDSKU=0000 ./flash.sh jetson-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1

Yes, one board was able to flashed and returned to working order using the SDK Manager. There is no difference between them, save that the remaining non-working board did not respond in the same way.

Attempting to flash the non-working board with

sudo BOARDID=3448 FAB=100 BOARDSKU=0000 ./flash.sh jetson-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1

yields:

sudo BOARDID=3448 FAB=100 BOARDSKU=0000 ./flash.sh jetson-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1

Could you help to refer to the Step 4 of the following thread and flash again for this non-working board?
After i2cset test, nano can't boot in eMMC boot evironment - #24 by shinichiro.adachi

Thank you. I made the change in step 4 of the above link.

Flashing with BOARDID, FAB, and BOARDSKU:

Do you make sure it has been applied correctly?

I can’t find board_config_p3448.xml related string in your flash log.

This issue seems the board information missing in EEPROM.
Does this non-working board could boot up to the desktop currently?

12

Yes, I’m certain the step was applied correctly. A snippet from p3448-0000.conf.common:

SOSFILE="bootloader/nvtboot_recovery.bin";
WB0BOOT="bootloader/${target_board}/warmboot.bin";
FLASHER="bootloader/${target_board}/cboot.bin";
BOOTLOADER="bootloader/${target_board}/cboot.bin";
TBCFILE="bootloader/nvtboot_cpu.bin";
BPFFILE="bootloader/t210ref/sc7entry-firmware.bin";
TOSFILE="bootloader/tos.img";
EKSFILE="bootloader/eks.img";
BCT="--bct ";
VERFILENAME="qspi_bootblob_ver.txt";
BCFFILE=“bootloader/${target_board}/cfg/board_config_p3448.xml”;
OTA_BOOT_DEVICE="/dev/mtdblock0";
OTA_GPT_DEVICE="/dev/mtdblock0";
RCM_TBCFILE="bootloader/nvtboot_recovery_cpu.bin";
RCM_SOSFILE="bootloader/signed/rcm_1_encrypt.rcm";
RCM_FLASHER="bootloader/signed/nvtboot_recovery_cpu.bin.encrypt"
RCM_BCTFILE="bootloader/signed/P3448_A00_lpddr4_204Mhz_P987.bct"

The non-working board does not boot to desktop or give any chatter when connected to a display or over UART in either recovery or normal modes.

Thank you

13

Could you help to replace the “ with the " and verify again?
It seems the quotation marks issue.

14

Wow, great catch! I was able to flash the remaining board after fixing the quotation marks (the lack of font color change in the terminal should have been a clue for me) and boot into a desktop environment using the above methods. I really appreciate the help!
