NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin cannot be boot

Hi, I have faced some problem in running Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin. I want to run my AI script on the devices which will require the higher version of cuda.

Originally, my device is Ubuntu 20.04, Jetapack 5.1.2-b104, Cuda 11.4, tnesorflow 2.13. So, after I upgraded Cuda from 11.4 to Cuda 12.6 and I uninstalled previous version of Cuda. Then, I restart again the AGX Orin then it turned out to be black screen during the boot (after showing Nvidia logo and then some logs).

This is the log file I extracted.
agxorin log error.txt (72.9 KB)

This the error when I try to execute the command

“sudo apt upgrade”

Now, I cannot access to the GUI as it black screen but I can enter the console mode through PuTTy in windows.

May I know what’s the solution for my problem now?

Hi,

Jetson is an iGPU system so the driver is integrated into the OS rather than installed from the apt.

Are you able to reflash the system to JetPack 6?
If yes, the environment by default uses CUDA 12.2 and can be upgraded to the latest CUDA ex. 12.6.

For JetPack 5, the latest CUDA is 12.2.
The newer version only has the Ubuntu 22.04 release (for aarch64-jetson) so can not be used in JetPack 5 which is Ubuntu 20.04.

Thanks.

So in conclusion, the black screen problem can only solve by reflash again the device?

Currently, I do not have any Ubuntu host device for me to flash. Instead, I using virtual machine on Windows to try reflash it but the sdkmanager cannot recognize my AGX Orin.

Also, may I know what is the cause of my problem now? Is it software problem?

Hi,

The issue is that you might install the driver for IGX rather than Jetson.

Could you share which command or driver you have installed?
We can check if it is possible to recover the original driver.

To reflash Jetson on Windows environment, please check the WSL document below:

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the information. I tried using VMware to reflash the device and successfully work again.

Thank you very much!!

Good to know this.
Thanks for the update.
