Jetson Orin Nano Doesn't Boot Up

I’ve been trying to get my Jetson Orin Nano to bootup, and it hasn’t been working out. I see the “L4TLauncher: Attempting Direct Boot” message, and after this, the screen goes out and the fan stops. I also checked to make sure the board is not in recovery mode before trying again. I’ve attached a photo of the bootup screen as well as 2 of the logs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I believe you are trying to use 36.2, as indicated by the booting log:

[ 0.000000] Linux version 5.15.122-tegra (buildbrain@mobile-u64-6517-d7000) ( aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu-gcc.br_real (Buildroot 2022.08) 11.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.38) #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Nov 30 10:30:37 PST 2023 ()

However, I bet you only flashed the SD card, but not the QSPI bootloader, so the UEFI still stays at 35.3.1:

Jetson UEFI firmware (version 3.0-32616947 built on 2023-02-21T18:13:46+00:00)

Please re-flash the device with SDK Manager to have bootloader stuff updated to the latest 36.2.

Hello!
I have the same problem when trying to first boot a brand new Orin Nano Dev Kit.
I understand the need to update QSPI for 6.0, but at this moment it’s a bit problematic to do this for me. If I flash the previous version of JetPack 5.1.2, will it work?

Make sure the bootloader and rootfs are of the same L4T version, then YES.

Hi, I got the same problem. Just want to ask how do you save the booting log?
