Nvidia Jetson Xavier NX not working after accessing boot menu

The device I am using is a ReComputer Industrial J2012 which houses a Nvidia Jetson Xavier NX 16GB.

After accessing the boot menu by restarting and holding down shift the screen went black apart from a flashing underscore in the top left corner. When the reset button is pressed, system shows the boot menu again, but any input from the connected keyboard is not registered (ie. esc, F11 and and enter). The system displays the following:

** WARNING: Test Key is used. **
L4TLauncher: Attempting Recovery Boot
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernal…
EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table
EFI stub: Loaded initrd from LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path

It then goes back to a black screen and stops outputting anything to the display. I am not an expert in this field and need guidance on how to access the device again.

Please try re-flashing the device, and contact the board vendor for help.

Is there a way to reflash without access to the system/terminal. There is also no micro sd port on the device

NO.
As I’ve said, please contact the board vendor on how you can re-flash the device.

FYI, third party carrier boards usually require a different device tree and will use their flash software, or a patch to the NVIDIA software. Either way it has custom instructions.

Jetsons don’t have a BIOS, they have the equivalent in software, thus they cannot self-flash via something like an SD card or USB thumb drive. The vendor of the carrier board would have the details, but basically you’d put the Jetson in recovery mode, and then run the flash from an Ubuntu PC while the recovery mode Jetson is connected via USB to the host PC.
