Thank You Kayccc!

I want to sincerely thank the forum for the guidance and support. My Jetson Orin Nano is now working perfectly, and I’d like to share the steps I followed in case it helps someone else facing similar issues.

Initial Problem:

I was unable to boot my Jetson Orin Nano. It was stuck on the UEFI firmware screen, attempting HTTP boot over IPv4. Additionally, my device wasn’t being detected when connected to my host machine initially.

Steps Taken to Resolve:

  1. Checked Connections and Recovery Mode:
  • Verified all hardware connections (power, SD card, and USB).
  • Placed the device in Recovery Mode by:
    • Holding the Force Recovery Button.
    • Pressing the Power Button while holding the recovery button.
  1. Ensured Proper Host Setup:
  • Used a host system running Ubuntu 24.04 (x86_64) in my case.
  • Installed the NVIDIA SDK Manager to manage the flashing process.
  1. Jumper Cable Workaround:
  • Initially, the device wasn’t recognized via USB. I used a jumper cable to ensure the device entered recovery mode successfully, after which it was detected by the SDK Manager.
  1. Flashing the Firmware:
  • Flashed the Jetson Orin Nano using the SDK Manager.
  • Selected and installed JetPack 6.1 and the required software packages.
  1. Device Booted Successfully:
  • After flashing, the device booted correctly, and I was able to complete the setup.
  • Verified all functionalities, and the system is now operational.

Current Setup:

  • Device: Jetson Orin Nano (8GB) developer kit.
  • JetPack Version: 6.1.
  • Host Machine OS: Ubuntu 24.04 (x86_64).
  • SDK Manager: Used to flash the firmware and install JetPack.
