I’m using Jetson Orin Nano with JetPack 6.2, l4t 36.4.7. It was working fine and suddenly now it is not booting up. I’m using nvme card. Is there any way to rectify without losing all the data and files? Kindly help.

Based on the provided context, I’ll attempt to provide a comprehensive answer to the question.

The user is experiencing issues with their Jetson Orin Nano, which is not booting up after previously working fine with JetPack 6.2 (L4T 36.4.7) and an NVMe card. They are seeking a solution to rectify the issue without losing any data and files.

Firstly, it’s essential to note that the Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit has specific guidelines for updating and flashing the device. The recommended way to update the device is to flash it directly, and before doing so, it’s crucial to disconnect the NVMe storage and insert an SD card.

To troubleshoot the boot issue, the user can try the following steps:

  1. Check the boot order: Ensure that the UEFI SD Device is at the top of the boot order list in the UEFI menu. If it’s not, refer to the “Customizing the Default Boot Order in the UEFI Menu” section for more information.
  2. Verify the bootloader version: Use the sudo nvbootctrl dump-slots-info command to check the current slot bootloader version in the QSPI. If the version is less than 35.6.0, it might be causing the issue.
  3. Try booting with an SD card: Prepare an SD card with the JetPack 5.1.1 SD card image and boot the Jetson Orin Nano Devkit with the SD card inserted. This will help determine if the issue is related to the NVMe card or the device itself.
  4. Check for firmware updates: Ensure that the RCE firmware is up-to-date, as the user is using the RCE firmware with higher settle time provided by @JerryChang.
  5. Consult the device-tree node: Review the device-tree node configuration to ensure that it’s correctly set up for the Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it’s possible that the problem is related to the NVMe card or the device itself. In this case, the user may need to seek further assistance from NVIDIA support or the Jetson Orin Nano community forums.

To avoid losing data and files, it’s recommended that the user:

  • Backup data regularly: Regularly backup important data and files to an external storage device or cloud storage service.
  • Use a separate storage device: Consider using a separate storage device, such as an external hard drive or SSD, to store important data and files.

In comparison to other Jetson Orin Nano issues mentioned in the context, this issue seems to be related to a boot problem, whereas other issues discussed topics such as:

  • Updating the Jetson Orin Nano Devkit from JetPack 5 to JetPack 6
  • Flashing an SD card for the Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit
  • Bringing up an FPGA-based LVDS to MIPI driver
  • Optimizing boot time on Jetson Orin with Jetpack 6.2

These issues are distinct from the user’s problem, but the troubleshooting steps mentioned above can be applied to other boot-related issues on the Jetson Orin Nano.

Hi,

Please run lsblk in Shell> to make sure NVMe detected.

Thanks
