Stuck at UEFI interactive shell

I use a reComputer J30, previously used was working fine but recently when I set it up again, I am stuck at the UEFI page. Previously I connected the device through a HDMI cable on an external monitor.

Hi eileenpenguin,

It seems you are using the custom carrier board for Orin Nano with JP5.1.1(R35.3.1).

Could you share the list of “Boot Manager” from UEFI menu?
Do you connect any serial device(UART/USB/keyboard) on your board which may cause it enter into UEFI menu?

hi Kevin,
Thank you for your reply.
I am using a USB keyboard yes. The start-up screen led me to the Uefi interface.
Previously I have also connected to the USB keyboard, but I have not met with this page before…

I have tried entering into all of these listed, however only the UEFI shell works, the rest does not work…
I have tried resetting the system multiple times too but to no avail…

It seems the issue coming from your board could not boot from other boot-device so that it enter UEFI shell.

Do you modify any content in device or run any application since its last time could boot up successfully?

I would suggest you re-flash the board and check if it could get recovered.

Hi Kevin,
How do I re-flash the board?
I did not modify anything in the device, when I was able to run the application, I used it for object detection application. Other than that, there is no modifications done.

I can reset everything if it is necessary as I have not installed any important documents in the device. How can I reset the board for it to go back as it was?

I’m not sure about what your application did may cause this issue.
Apparently, you could not boot from NVMe now.

Since you are using custom carrier board, please use custom BSP package and related command from your vendor to flash the board.

Is it possible, because i replaced the SSD with another one, that might have caused this?

ok, i have placed the original ssd back, and it works now…Thank you kevin!

Of course… your board is booting from NVMe, which contains not only rootfs but also other partitions necessary to boot the board.
