Jetson Nano is not turning ON

Wayne, Should the Empty SD card is inserted or the SD with the Image is Inserted?

With image.

And sudo ./flash.sh jetson-nano-qspi-sd mmcblk0p1 is the Flash command or only flash.sh?

sudo ./flash.sh jetson-nano-qspi-sd mmcblk0p1

Dear Wayne,
With the same setup for a serial console, I am getting
~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_4.4_Linux_JETSON_NANO_DEVKIT/Linux_for_Tegra$ sudo ./flash.sh jetson-nano-qspi-sd mmcblk0p1

Error: probing the target board failed.
Make sure the target board is connected through
USB port and is in recovery mode.

Hi,

Read the error please… seems your board is not in recovery mode…

Nothing to do with the serial console.

Hi Wayne,

  1. With a Serial console.
  2. With SD card with the image inserted.
  3. With board in Recovery mode.
  4. With board connected to Power and to host through micro USB port.

After I run the command: ubuntu@ubuntu-HP-Laptop-15-bs0xx:~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_4.4_Linux_JETSON_NANO_DEVKIT/Linux_for_Tegra$ sudo ./flash.sh jetson-nano-qspi-sd mmcblk0p1.

err…

This is host log. You already shared this three times… I don’t need this log anymore…

  1. The log from your host. You already shared that. → You shared this 3 times…
  2. The serial log from UART you said you cannot dump. → I need this

Do you see anything from serial console when you type the command?

Make it more easier to understand…

You need 2 terminals to observe the logs

One terminal is to run the flash.sh and you will see the log you shared 3 times.

The second terminal is to run picocom/minicom.

Wayne,
Thanks for your time, thanks for your response.

There is nothing I can see in the serial console after I run the command.

Do you have other jetson nano device to verify your UART setup is correct?

Dear Wayne,
I have only one Jetson nano device with me.
Is there any other way to debug this?

Are you able to see any log from serial console if you power device up without sdcard?

Also, please note that the order is important.

If you enable picocom after device boots up, it may not record the log.

There is still no log from the console if I power up without SD Card inserted.

Hi darshancganji12,

Please connect TX/RX/GND cable in J44. (please make sure you connect to the right pins)
Using Jumper to connect J40 pins 3 & 4, then plug-in power supply, now your device is into recovery mode.
You can use “lsusb” to check on your host machine.
Now you can use minicom/picocom to open uart log:

ll /dev/ttyUSB*
sudo picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSBx

You can check more detail on Nano User Guide.

Hi Wayne and Carolyuu,
I connected TX/RX/GND perfectly on J44, but still the same(No Log on Serial Console).
I also tried TX/RX/GND on J41, still the same.

Dear Wayne, Carolyuu,
I created only one partition in the SD card and flashed an Image(as shown in Pic below). Is it fine that I am flashing an Image in SD card with only one partition?

Hi

If you cannot dump the log and don’t know whether your device is still alive or not.

I would suggest you to RMA your jetson nano and get a new one.

Dear @Wayne, may I know how to RMA the Jetson Nano?
Is it a Warranty Policy?
