**Subject: Jetson Orin Nano stuck at “End-user configuration” during first boot (JetPack 6.x)**

​ **Dear Support Team,**

​I am experiencing a persistent issue with my **Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit**. After flashing the SD card with **JetPack 6.1/6.2** (L4T 36.4.3), the system fails to reach the GUI setup screen.

​ **Problem Details:**

- ​The boot process proceeds normally through UEFI and starts loading the Linux kernel.

- ​The system hangs indefinitely at the following line: [\*\*\*] (1 of 2) A start job is running for End-user configuration after initial OEM installation.

- ​I have waited for over 90 minutes, but the setup screen never appears.

​ **Troubleshooting steps already taken:**

1. ​ **Reset to Defaults:** I have performed a “Reset Settings” within the NVIDIA Configuration menu in UEFI.

2. ​ **Flashing Tools:** I have tried flashing the 128GB SD card using both **Rufus** and **balenaEtcher**.

3. ​ **Hardware Check:** The NVMe SSD is removed to ensure the system boots from the SD card only.

4. ​ **Network:** No internet cable or Wi-Fi is connected during the initial setup to avoid update-related hangs.

​Could you please advise if this is a known firmware compatibility issue with **L4T 36.4.3** or if there is a specific hardware initialization failure?.

​Best regards,

Hi,

We recommend to install sdk manager to full flash the device.

> **[SDK Manager](https://developer.nvidia.com/sdk-manager)**

> An end-to-end development environment setup solution for DRIVE, Jetson, and more. SDKs.

Thanks
