I am currently working with a Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit and are experiencing issues accessing the system. After attempting a direct boot, no signal is being sent to the monitor, and I suspect the system is not booting correctly.
Initially, the kernel was briefly displayed before the screen turned black. Now, even that no longer appears, and we consistently get only a black screen. The green LED on the board lights up and the fan starts, but the screen remains black throughout.
I have attempted to use thes tutorial [Jetson Nano & NX Style - Serial Debug Console - JetsonHacks] for this problem.
So I used a PL2303 USB-to-Serial cable, and I’m able to connect to the Jetson using minicom on /dev/ttyUSB0. When I power it on, I can see UEFI logs and OP-TEE messages in the serial terminal, but eventually it crashes with this line:
ASSERT [FvbNorFlashStandaloneMm] …
Could you please assist us in troubleshooting this issue? Specifically, we would appreciate guidance on how to perform a factory reset or any other steps you recommend.

I’d be happy to help you troubleshoot the issue with your Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit. Based on the symptoms you’ve described, it appears that the system is not booting correctly, and you’re experiencing a black screen with no signal being sent to the monitor.
Firstly, let’s compare your issue with some of the other issues mentioned in the context. The “Booting issue” on the Jetson Orin Nano and the “Jetson Orin Nano boot issue” are similar to your problem. Additionally, the “Rin Nano 8GB Developer Kit - Realtek PHY MAC Address Change Causes Boot Issue” and “Jetson Orin on custom board is Updating on every boot” issues may also be relevant.
To troubleshoot your issue, I recommend the following steps:
Serial Debug Console: You’ve already attempted to use the serial debug console, which is a great step. The fact that you can see UEFI logs and messages in the serial terminal suggests that the system is partially booting. The ASSERT FvbNorFlashStandaloneMm error message indicates a problem with the flash memory or the UEFI firmware.
Factory Reset: To perform a factory reset, you can try the following:
Connect the Jetson Orin Nano to a power source and a serial console (using the PL2303 USB-to-Serial cable).
Power on the device and immediately press the Ctrl + Shift + E keys to enter the UEFI firmware settings.
In the UEFI firmware settings, navigate to the “Boot” menu and select the “Reset to Default” option.
Save the changes and exit the UEFI firmware settings.
The device should now boot with the default settings.
Reflash the Device: If the factory reset doesn’t work, you can try reflashing the device using the NVIDIA JetPack SDK. This will restore the device to its original factory settings.
Check the Hardware: Ensure that all hardware components, including the monitor, keyboard, and mouse, are properly connected and functioning correctly.
Compare with Other Issues: The “Lan7430 issue” and “ORIN NX unable to use HDMI display” issues may be related to your problem, as they also involve booting and display issues. You can try checking the device tree and UEFI firmware settings to see if there are any similarities with these issues.
Optimizing Boot Time: Although not directly related to your issue, optimizing the boot time on the Jetson Orin with Jetpack 6.2 may help improve the overall booting process.
CUDA Setup and Installation: If you’re using CUDA on your Jetson Orin Nano, ensure that it’s properly set up and installed. You can refer to the CUDA Setup and Installation procedure for guidance.
In comparison to other issues, your problem seems to be more related to the booting process and UEFI firmware, rather than issues with the CUDA setup or LAN7430. However, it’s essential to try all possible troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, please provide more details about your setup, including the exact hardware and software configurations, and I’ll do my best to assist you further.
