I have one orin nano all set up ,working great. I was setting up a 2nd nano, installed jetpack 5 and got about halfway to installed 6, then interrupted for a day. Now that 2nd unit is completely dead (other than the fan coming on for about 5 seconds with power, and the green led). Screen is blank at all times (whether sd card installed or not). About 1/2 day prior I noticed its screen had a very fuzzy look, (I thought it was some sort of screen saver), now black. The cables, power, LCD, etc still work totally fine with the first nano.
If I apply powr the fan spins for a few seconds shuts off, with just the green led staying on…no screen at ANY time. I’m on Windows10. Are there some detailed steps to do further testing or is Jetson toast??
How do your flash your device? Could you provide your flashing steps or referred link?
Thus, is your 2nd Orin Nano installed with JP6 image or JP5 image ?
The recommended approach is to get the native ubuntu and install sdk manager to flash your device.
I use win10, not win 11PC, with Balena Etcher to create the SD card. I’m not sure if I’d call that “flashing”. I got the 2nd nano up to Jetpack 5, and was moving towards 6 when interrupted. Now the nano screen is completely blank at ALL times, even with no SD card: no NVIDIA logo, nothing. I only have the win10 PC and of course one working nano, with VNC remote to my PC.
How interrupted happen? Do you manually interrupt the update process or the device automatically reboot and not respond?
Please refer to the Overall flow (microSD-only method) section.
How interrupted happen? I stopped working on i…when I came back later the screen was blank & could o get any screen back. shouldn’t there be some screen without any SD card?? I get nothing at any time, not even a NVIDIA logo

lease get a native ubuntu 20.04/22.04
[/quote] Is there any way it can be done with Windows??? If not,why not?
Why don’t they have a software downloader that runs on windows??? Can the my one working Jetson serve this purpose to restore the other jetson (instead of using a PC)?
The flash tool should work on any platform, like windows, or any linux. Why is it so limited, it’s just uploading a file to the onboard flash --seems rather dufus. So the Jetson is now junk?? what is so particular that it needs x86? The jetson itself could care less, it just receives the upload.
Jetson itself is not just doing receive. It is using bootrom to communicate with host PC with USB connection first and lots of ack between host and Jetson side before the flash started.
So far this whole process is only developed under x86 Linux.
Well, USB should be workable on any system, linux or windows–so this sounds like an excuse. Lucky my PC is an I7 processor of some sort to install Ubuntu. I do have a VM of linux installed on my laptop, but it sounds like a VM has its own issues for using this flash utility??
We are just describing a truth here. Whether you want to think it is an excuse or not didn’t change the fact that we don’t support Windows machine to run sdkmanager to flash.
VM has some problem in usb communication so maybe you could refer to above post and try the suggestion from the user too.
