Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Orin Nano
1

To flash my Jetson Nano Orin Dev Kit, I’ve gone through the following steps:

  1. I downloaded SD Card Image of JetPack 6.0 from here
    JetPack SDK | NVIDIA Developer
  2. I formatted and flashed by microSD with image.
  3. I inserted the card, display, mouse and keyboard and powered on the devkit.
    After I see a sceen prompt: Attemting direct boot
    The jetson fan is powering off and nothing is displaying. Kindly guide what to do.

Hi,
Please try the SDKManager method. We suggest have a x86 host PC with SDKManager installed for flashing any Jetson devices.

While installing using SDKManager, I am encountering the following error, I have tried re-downloading/installing using different Jetpack versions but still encountering the same error:

Hi gaurang.p1320,

You can unclick to install Host Machine
Just select Jetson → Target Hardware → JetPack version and try again.

I am flashing a brand new microSD card to install Jetson orin nano devkit software for the first time as microSD image method is not working. SDK method shows error for host components, there is no option to untick host installation. In repair/uninstall section, if I choose to only repair jetson hardware, I get the following error.

Kindly guide what to do, I have tried using different jetpack versions, different host machines, different SD cards, different wifi connections but I get the same error every time.

Hi gaurang.p1320,

Your SDK Manager will like below:

image
image1266×722 152 KB

Then press continue to steps 02 and 03, connect micro-usb cable from host PC to Orin-Nano.
Please reference user guide: Install Jetson Software with SDK Manager — sdk-manager 2.0.0 documentation

I am getting the same error every time “operation not permitted”, as I am installing target in microSD. My jetson orin nano is not detectable after connecting power and microUSB to host PC hence I am not able to give install path dierctly to target device. We are using Jetson Orin Nano for ROBOCON 2024 autonomous bot and are not able to start our project. Kindly give detailed steps to install everything on brand new jetson orin nano devkit using micro SD card for the first time.

Hi,

The installation issue is not on Jetson but on your host PC where you ran the sdkmanager.

Operation not permitted means sdkmanager does not have the root permission on your host PC. Or even your host PC is using a file system not is not ext4.

Please be aware that sdkmanager is already the most correct official way.
