I just bought a Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit as well as a 256 GB SD card with Jetpack flashed on it, DC-DC 5V Step down Converter and it does not want to power on. I tested the voltage and it is reading 5v. I tested the batteries that are powering all of it and it reads 14v. So power is flowing and the converter is stepping it down to 5v but still when I plug it in no fans kick on and no LED light kicks on. Any help troubleshooting this would be very much appreciated. Thanks anybody and everybody.
It’s might be a hardware issue, add @sgursal to comment.
You might want to check the voltage. The Orin Nano runs on 9-19V. If you are using 5V, that may not work.
Have you tried using another power supply? An AC/DC adapter with 5V@5A to 19V@ 2A minimum DC output. If using Orin Nano Super mode then need 8V Vin minimum for the Jetson Orin Nano module as mentioned in the Jetson module data sheet.
Could you provide details on where this was purchased from? This video might help you on getting started with on Orin Nano dev kit in general. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWdJ4BCtam8
I bought it from DMMUNIVERSE. I will try those suggestions and get back to you with an update.
If the carrier board is from one of our ecosystem partners, recommend to get in touch with them for further guidance/support.
If it is not powering up with the 5v converter chances are a 19v converter won’t work either correct? The jetson has an internal step down that takes 19v to 5v correct?
What is the DC output power rating and current rating of your converter? Could you provide a picture?
Picture of dev kit to identify it correctly?
USB C is for recovery mode support and does not provide power to the carrier board. Use DC Jack for powering the carrier board. 19V adapter is supplied with the kit, I think.
I used the barrel jack for both converters. The one with a type c male, I have a barrel jack adapter. The other one with 4 wires I used a barrel jack to bare wire.
Did you try with the DC power supply included with the dev kit?
I did not. I tried to cut the wire to mount the power supply into my robot and be able to plug it into my fuse block and I messed the cord up.
Recommend to get an equivalent replacement DC power supply and maybe also check your DC jack dimensions and wiring making sure the center pin is positive (+V) and it fits properly.
