Orin Nano, Jetpack 5.1.2: Does not boot with Ethernet device plugged in

Hello, I have installed Jetpack 5.1.2 through the SDKManager on my Orin Nano Devkit, which is mostly working as expected, except I am having some boot issues. When I have an ethernet device plugged into the Jetson, it does not boot.

I have looked at the solution posted here: Boot problem on live device - #7 by linuxdev

However, even when the ethernet device is not plugged in, there is no option to enter the boot menu when I turn on the device. It just takes me straight to the Ubuntu login screen, with no Nvidia logo appearing prior. I also don’t see any boot-related serial output when I connect via a UART serial console with gtkterm - no serial output appears until the Ubuntu login is presented. Here is the entire serial console output after doing a sudo reboot:

Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS ubuntu ttyGS0

ubuntu login:

In short, I am not seeing any options to enter a boot menu, whether I try to boot and watch the boot process via the display/keyboard, or the serial console. Is there something basic that I am missing?

Can you please help diagnose this issue? Thank you.

Hi gus9,

You could press ESC during boot up to enter UEFI menu.

Please refer to the following instruction to get the serial console log and share it for forther check.
