Jetson Orin Performance Issues with USB Devices/ m2 NVMe SSD- Possible Power Management Problem

Hello Jetson Developer Community,

I’m experiencing some performance issues with my newly set up Jetson Orin when connecting USB devices. I’m hoping to get some insights or solutions from the community.

Device: Jetson Orin (newly set up with NVIDIA SDK Manager)

Issues:

  1. USB Performance:
    When I plug in any USB device (e.g., camera, WiFi adapter, or general USB device), the Orin starts to slow down significantly. Specifically:

    • The keyboard becomes unresponsive
    • Connected cameras are not detected
    • Overall system performance degrades

  2. M.2 NVMe Not Detected:
    I have physically plugged in an M.2 NVMe SSD from Samsung, but it is not detected by the system at all.

  3. Time to time, the jetson won’t boot, i need to restart it and wait to turn on it again, after a few times it does start the booting process and the ubuntu screen comes…

What I’ve Tried:

  1. Checked current power mode using nvpmodel -q

  2. Set the device to maximum performance mode:

      sudo nvpmodel -m 0
  sudo jetson_clocks

  3. Set to ID 2 power mode

    ID=2
sudo /usr/sbin/nvpmodel -m $ID

Hi,

I would suggest you could file 3 topics but not just 1 because the 3 issues you just told sound all different. We should use different topics to track them.

might be, but I strongly believe that they are related same issue about the lack ness of power of the orin.

previously on another computer we had a similar issue with the power supply unit, when we were connecting to many devices to a computer, the connected devices (i.e. keyboard) did not work properly

Hi,

If you want to discuss about power, then could you clarify what carrier board you are using here? NV devkit? Custom board? or you are not sure about what I meant here?

And do you have any log from UART serial console to share when any of the error happened?

There are other users hit boot issue on this forum before and most of them are not related to power issue.

Also, some pcie detection issues on forum before too which matches the issue (2) on your list.
That is why to suggest file 3 topics to track…

Hello, I have a pure new Nvidia Jetson Orin Development Kit,

Unfortunately, there are no explicit errors, therefore I am not able to debug and google it,

i checked the form but could not find any related issue to M.2 NVME, because it is not detect at the all,
