Jetson Orin Nano not booting + flashing failing

My Jetson Orin Nano, when booted, doesn’t boot. It shows bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1), bash: no job control in this shell
I tried flashing it with sdk manager but always failed. Tried flashing with the Nvidia guide, also failed. I don’t know what to do.

Did you try using SD card to test it?

Message in your photo looks like you haven’t install any storage to Jetson Nano Dev Kit.
Jetson Nano Dev Kit does not come with any storage.

I am not sure if I understand your question. Im not an expert regarding Jetson.

You can refer to these 2 getting start information to prepare SD card and try to boot the Jetson.
If you would like to use M.2 SSD, you have to use SDK Manager to flash it with Ubuntu host (Physical Host, Not VM). VM is not easy to make it works to flash the M.2 SSD.

i cannot remove the sd card without dismouting the board. It came in this bundle by holybro.

But i have good news. I solved a lot of the errors with these commands:
sudo pkill rpcbind
sudo systemctl stop rpcbind
sudo systemctl disable rpcbind

Now, I can do the flashing but its stuck in 99%. I got this 2 errors and these 2 informations:
18:02:48 ERROR: [ 0.0226 ] ERROR: failed to read rcm_state
18:02:52 ERROR: Flash Jetson Linux - flash: [ 0.0230 ] ERROR: failed to read rcm_state

18:03:58 INFO: Flash Jetson Linux - flash: clnt_create: RPC: Timed out
18:03:58 INFO: Flash Jetson Linux - flash: NFS server is not running

Did you set the Jetson in Recovery Mode with the jumper?
I used similar approach to flash it. SDK Manager connect with USB-C cable and Jetson nano in recovery mode.
