Jetson TX2 not turning on and won't enter recovery mode

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson TX2

Here’s the sequence of events:

  • Tried to boot up a Jetson TX2 that I hadn’t used in a few months. It would not boot up; was getting errors along the lines of “Voltage operation not allowed” and “Could not set regulator OCR”
  • As a result, I unplugged it, connected it to a host machine, and performed the steps to put it in recovery mode
  • The host machine won’t recognize the TX2, and so I can’t flash it. Now when I press the power button on the TX2 after unplugging it, a few lights turn on (CR1, CR5, CR6) but the power light (CR2) does not turn on. Nothing is displayed on my monitor when the system is turned on
  • This definitely is not a problem with the usb connection, as I tried flashing a TX1 from the same host machine and cable and had no issues.

This is not fatal error. We can see it too.

Do you mean lsusb does not detect it?

Is it a nvidia devkit or custom carrier board?

It is a nvidia devkit. Yeah, the device wasn’t showing up on lsusb. I have another devkit carrier board though; I switched carrier boards and I was able to flash it. So maybe it’s just an issue with the carrier board?

Yes, it is possible only the carrier board has defect.
