Jetson Orin Nano not booting up

Hi I bought a Jetson Orin Nano, and I flashed the SD card with the SDK image and inserted the SD card and powered up the Orin Nano, it shows the boot screen but it is not booting up . Not sure what I am doing wrong, any help is really appreciated.

Is it a DevKit or a third-party carrier board?
Dump the log:

Or just re-flash with SDK Manager.

Hi thanks a lot for the response, it is a development kit ordered from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZJTQ5YP?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details. And I was following the getting started instructions from here. https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/learn/get-started-jetson-orin-nano-devkit#prepare. The SD card was flashed with the image and inserted and tried to boot up, but it did not work. I just tried to re-flash the SDK manager on the SD card and it still did not work.
Could you please let me know how to get the log ?

i think it’s stated in the link I posted earlier.

Oh yea thank you I missed that, I guess I probably have to buy that TTL to USB adapter to do that, I will go ahead and order that and give a try and update. Thanks a lot for your suggestion.

@DaveYYY had one more quick question. I was looking at this instruction again, it says we have to update the QSPI bootloader by installing JETPACK 6 using SDK manager. Do I have to do something special for updating the QSPI bootloader ?

NO.
SDK Manager will do the process of updating QSPI bootloader for you.
It’s only required when you want to use the SD card image, and do not/do not want to use SDK Manager.

Thank you, so technically if the SD card is flashed with the binary image from this “SD Card Image Method” link it should work right ?
image

YES.
Once you have updated the QSPI bootloader or flashed it with SDK Manager, it should work.

Thanks @DaveYYY . So basically this is the boot screen it shows on the monitor when I inserted the flashed SD card and powered up the board. And then after a few seconds the monitor goes blank. Not sure if this tells anything :)

NO.
We still need the serial console log to know what happens behind the scene; the picture does not tell anything.

Got it OK

Hello,
I am facing the same issue with the SD card image for Jetson Orin nano dev kit. The boot gets stuck at the screen image shared by @nbibin001 . I suspect it is because I havent updated the QSPI bootloader.
Unfortunately I dont have a Ubuntu or a Linux system. @DaveYYY Do we have a way to run the SDK manager to install QSPI via a windows based host system? I dont seem to find helpful documentation.

Run this inside WSL2:

sudo ./flash.sh --no-systemimg -c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml jetson-orin-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1
