Jetson Orin Nano Not Booting Jetpack 5.1.1 and 5.1.2

Hello,

I am attempting to use my Arducam IMX477 with my Jetson Orin Nano. I initially flashed and booted JetPack 5.1.3 with the SD card method when I realized that the drivers for the IMX477 are only available with JetPack 5.1.1 and 5.1.2. I am attempting to flash another SD card with either 5.1.1 or 5.1.2 but whenever I try to boot my Jetson, it gets stuck on the NVidia boot page (see image). The Jetson will attempt to boot, fails, then shuts off and tries again.

I’ve tried multiple different SD cards (32gb SanDisk) and the same problem occurs. I would like to emphasize that the Jetson works perfectly fine with the SD card with the 5.1.3 image as I am still able to go back and use that SD card with no issues.

Could the issue possibly be that since I already successfully booted Jetpack 5.1.3, previous versions are no longer compatible?

Note: I ordered and am waiting on a TTL to USB cable so I can observe the serial output log. Additionally, I do not have a native Linux machine, so using SDKmanager to flash the Jetson is currently not an option.

Thanks for any help or insight on this issue!

YES, exactly.
The bootloader on your device is now 5.1.3, which is not compatible with neither 5.1.1 nor 5.1.2.
Please use SDK Manager to do a whole re-flash, so the bootloader on the module is also downgraded.

Sounds good, thank you for the quick response!
