Nano doesn't boot

Hi here.

Nano stops on splash screen forever.
After attaching serial console I see a lot of the following errors:

What am I doing wrong?

Just now repeated steps from Getting Started With Jetson Nano Developer Kit | NVIDIA Developer
Looks like this time the process stopped a little bit earlier, on retrieving /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf:

Looks like your microSD card is corrupted.

Either the card is bad, or the image on the card is bad, or the process by which you write the image to the card is bad, or the hardware that reads the card on the Nano is bad. My guess is on “card” or “process” most likely.

Thanks. It was card. After getting a new one I tried two different processes on it (Etcher & dd) and both did well.
