My ORIN Nano DEV board locked up while I was doing development. I had plugged in a USB camera and then was installing VLC (apt-get install vlc). The operating system locked up while installing vlc. I unplugged power and re-plugged in the power. The board doesn’t boot. I see the BIOS-like screen. The board tries to boot but the screen simply goes dark after the BIOS screen and never shows anything ever.
I’ve tried pressing ESC from the BIOS screen to enter setup. The BIOS / setup shows 0MB ram. Is this expected? Sounds bad to me!!!
Here’s a screen shot of the BIOS / setup screen showing 0MB ram:
I’m going to take out the existing SDCARD and mount it using a Linux laptop and take a look around the filesystem to see if the filesystem seems intact. I’ll also flash a brand new SDCARD and try to boot from it.
In the mean time, could anybody be so kind as to confirm that its normal for the setup screen to display 0 MB RAM?
I’d rather avoid wasting time trying to recover SDCARDs if the problem is really fried RAM. I might need to order another board and send this board in for warranty service.
I encountered the same situation when I used an SD Card to boot the Orin Nano Dev Kit. So I switched to booting off a NVMe SSD using SDK Manager (via my host Ubuntu PC), and now I got this boot screen:
It still says 0 MB, but at least it is reporting the right module now. However once I continued on the booting process into Ubuntu OS, my Orin Nano seemed to be working fine and it reported 7.3 GB
