Jetson TX2 Not Booting Past Autoboot

Hi all,

We’re having trouble getting a Jetson TX2 to boot. Every time it tries to boot it gets up until the autoboot section, but it doesn’t count down. It just goes straight to 0 and skips right past, then on the next line it hangs and doesn’t continue.

Here’s the UART serial output:

What was changed here? Have you tired to reflash the board?

Hi, this problem has been solved. There was something weird going on with the debug UART on our custom carrier board where it was getting a bit of loopback. During boot when it got to the “press key to pause autoboot” section it was getting a key press, as it was looped back. This was halting the boot. Fixed with a soldering iron and now it boots fine.
