Hi everyone,
I currently have a Jetson Orin NX 16GB running JetPack 6.2 (L4T R36.4.x). I have successfully configured a bootable RootFS via NFS.
I now want to implement a complete PXE Boot environment where the Jetson retrieves the UEFI bootloader (GRUB), Kernel, and DTB over the network via TFTP before mounting the existing NFS RootFS.
Current Environment:
So far I had issues with the jetson getting stuck during the init phase or when booting alltogether. Has anyone had any success with it so far?
Hi kilian.ischtschuk,
Are you using the devkit or custom board for Orin NX?
Have you referred to Configuring a PXE Boot Server for UEFI bootloader on Jetson for PXE boot?
Hi KevinFFF,
I’m using a different carrier board. Is there anything I need to keep in mind when doing that? I also tried it with the devkit but got the following error:

Please share the detailed step how did you setup for PXE boot on your host.
I would also like to check the full serial console log on the board.
Hi KevinFFF,
I fixed it according to the documentation provided by you. That was really helpfull. Thank you for that. There were several issues in the configuration and I tried ipxe which didn’t work that well. Do you know if ipxe is officially supported?
Good to hear that you have managed for PXE boot.
It seems Jetson devices supports UEFI PXE boot rather than ipxe.
Do you know by any chance is ipxe boot is possible?
Sorry that ipxe is not supported/verified on Jetson platform currently.
