Jetson nano when connected to monitor doesn’t output anything, I have followed all the steps given on getting started with jetson, flashed the card and mounted the card on jetson, I am also using 5v/2A supply but still there is no output, I also tried 5v/4A through dc jack but still, no output. ![IMG_20240229_091123607](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/4X/8/d/e/8decbc92d55d4fdc70873e5e7156374bdbc62719.jpeg) ---

Please at least re-flash with SDK Manager. ---

Does it have onboard emmc storage like seed studio? Do I have to insert memory card and then use SDK manager? ---

Is the SD card on the module itself or on the carrier board? If it’s on the carrier board then that means it’s a custom carrier board, and please ask the vendor for help. If it’s on the module itself then that means it’s a DevKit, and please re-flash with SDK Manager. ---

The sd card mount is on the module and not on carrier board, when I connect jetson to sdkm it detects the board but shows no os to install and after installation of host prerequisite nothing happens. I am using ubantu 20.04. ![IMG_20240301_161707614](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/4X/5/7/8/5783b23cf4b81b672064abb50cb3f2253004e158.jpeg) ![IMG_20240301_161655450_HDR](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/4X/2/d/5/2d5e22101027f910279c5f56178cf81e0babc06d.jpeg) ---

You need to use Ubuntu 18.04 instead. Or directly flash with our BSP: [https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/l4t-archived/l4t-3274/index.html](https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/l4t-archived/l4t-3274/index.html) [https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/embedded/l4t/r32\_release\_v7.4/t210/jetson-210\_linux\_r32.7.4\_aarch64.tbz2](https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/embedded/l4t/r32_release_v7.4/t210/jetson-210_linux_r32.7.4_aarch64.tbz2) [https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/embedded/l4t/r32\_release\_v7.4/t210/tegra\_linux\_sample-root-filesystem\_r32.7.4\_aarch64.tbz2](https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/embedded/l4t/r32_release_v7.4/t210/tegra_linux_sample-root-filesystem_r32.7.4_aarch64.tbz2) ---

It worked!!! I used 18.04 on VM and the module was detected, I used SDK to flash and everything looks ok now. ![IMG_20240304_111159639](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/4X/7/9/0/790cbf9f616ef28d31cea8b5babd05e36560f567.jpeg) ---
