Jetson nano from working fine to boot failed

Hello everyone,
Today I wanted to start my Jetson nano devkit 4gb with sd card as usual but nothing happened at all. It had been working flawlessly for weeks. Apart from the green power LED lighting up, nothing happens.
I have already read some forum posts and tried a lot of things. Including the following:

  • new SD card with fresh Jetpack flash
  • Replaced power supply
  • Micro USB cable replaced
  • Replaced HDMI cable

However, I wasn’t expecting much from this, as the setup was already working without any problems. I also did the following:

  • Installed Ubuntu 18.04 and the SDK Manager on a laptop
  • set the FC REC pin on the Jetson to GND
  • SDK Manager recognizes the Jetson but cannot flash it
  • the Jetson can be found with lsusb in terminal
  • a CRC8 error occurs
  • I also tried to flash it manually but I couldn’t get it to work

I have been working on this problem for days and hope you can help me.

Here is my SDKM-Log:

Do it like:

sudo BOARID=xxx BOARDSKU=yyy FAB=zzz ./flash.sh jetson-nano-devkit internal

to skip the EEPROM check.
You should find values of these BOARDID stuff in the flashing log.

Then after it boots up successfully, do this to fix the checksum error:

hello,
I can’t find the board id and sku anywhere in the log, not even using the search function. What does the line containing this information look like? Is there any other way to find out?
Are there any special steps I need to take before I can use the flash command you mentioned?

Dump the entire log from SDKM, please.

Here you go:
SDKM_logs_JetPack_4.6.4_Linux_for_Jetson_Nano_modules_2024-05-15_09-22-05.zip (113.6 KB)

Can you try with BOARDID=3448 BOARDSKU=0000 FAB=402?

I followed these steps first:

Failed flash - Depends on failed component - #5 by DaveYYY

Then I typed in:

sudo BOARDID=3448 BOARDSKU=0000 FAB=402 ./flash.sh jetson-nano-devkit internal

It failed…this is the output:

Dump this log during flashing:

Hi,

Sorry that there are some other tricks required for Jetson Nano in this case.
Please refer to this post:

I am overwhelmed…it worked!
For all those who have the same problem, here is my solution (I used an Ubuntu 18.04 PC):

  1. Driver Package (BSP)
  2. Simple Root Filesystem
$ tar xf ${L4T_RELEASE_PACKAGE}
$ sudo tar xpf ${SAMPLE_FS_PACKAGE} -C Linux_for_Tegra/rootfs/
$ cd Linux_for_Tegra/
$ sudo ./apply_binaries.sh
$ sudo ./tools/l4t_flash_prerequisites.sh
  • the Jetson should be in recovery mode (connect FC REC to GND)
  • now do the following:
  • for me, the flashing was successful at this point

Special thanks to DaveYYY!
