I ran ollama and asked for a story. Soon after it started typing the story I got the message above. I just got this unit and wonder if the hardware is old, as I had to update it from to JetPack 5.1.3 then 6.2. Or does the Orin nano at MaxN overheat all the time?

Do you have a heatsink on the NVMe. Cooling on the SoC is good (assuming you have the dev version with integral cooling system), so my next guess would be the NVMe. When you light those in a demanding application they will get very hot, on the bottom of the board with no air it would get hot.
Itās a new Jetson Orin Nano dev kit
All I have attached is a 256GB micro sd. Not gotten a NVME ssd yet.

Click the 15w in the top right corner of the desktop and select Run Jetson Power Gui. Light that up and then restart your application. It has a button to capture a log.

It is the nature for maxN mode for Orin NX and Orin Nano. They have power budget limitation. You should not run maxN all the time but use lower power mode for it.
Or maybe you could try the new Jetson Orin Nano super mode which supports higher power limit.
Also, it is actually not a good idea to use āIt feels hotā for a Jetson case. A 70C situation would be hot for you but not triggering any thermal throttling to Jetson at all. It is more precise to use jtop or tegrastats to monitor the real temperature.
I am not sure what super mode is.
I bought this Jetson Nano Orin super from spark fun NVIDIA Jetson Orinā¢ Nano Super Developer Kit - DEV-22098 - SparkFun Electronics
Is there a special mode? All I see for power is 7w, 15w, and maxN to choose from. Everything
is updated. Built it today.
Are you flashing the image to the sdcard? or something else?
Super mode is a new power mode for Orin Nano. Higher frequency and also higher power budget limitation (which means less hitting over current)
But only Orin Nano sdcard module (p3767-0005 sku) is supported now. For other Orin Nano module, it has be to waited for next Jetpack release.
When In got the card I followed the directions on the š Initial Setup Guide - NVIDIA Jetson AI Lab
I followed the firmware was not newer than 36.0 path because the board was delivered with firmware 3. 0-32616947 This makes me think I am getting old hardware being repackaged as a Nano Orin Super.
Should I return it?

Returning the board does not help.
Super mode is a software upgradeā¦ not hardware. You just need to flash to correct version and if your module is the correct one, it will have super mode.
Please get a x86 host PC and let sdkmanager flash your board.
That is the āspecial modeā. That option is not on the older images. If you see maxN you have it, just select it.
OK, so special mode is maxN, right? Why would I get āSystem throttled due to over-currentā in a matter of seconds after I try and running the ollama example. Bad hardware? Bug? Some other issue that I am not sure about. I think JetsonHacks has something I can use to log or plot stuff. Going to try to use that tonight and see what happens.
As I already explained before, it is a nature of maxN mode. Super mode just gives you less chance to hit OC. It does not mean you wonāt hit.
It is not a bug. Orin Nano has power limitations. MaxN mode just gives you āfull boostā which does not care about power limit, so once it hits limit, OC will happen and system will do throttling to protect the board.
Please use lower power mode if you donāt want to hit OC.

Ok. So super is a software tweak that overclocks the Orin Nano. Giving it a new name is confusing. Most would think that it got some new parts that allowed for the faster speeds with no overheat. No worries I will throttle down
Orin Nano super is a software update that gives you more overclocks than previous Orin Nano.
The maxN frequency is this new mode is higher than previous maxN in Orin Nano.
The power limit is also higher than previous Orin Nnao. But it didnāt prevent OC.
If you really want to higher performance without OC, then you may need higher spec of platform. For example, Orin NX and Orin AGX. Even compared with Orin Nano super, they still have higher spec.
2: MAXN is at the top right corner under Power mode pulldown menu. Along with 0: 15W and 1:7W. I hope the old hardware is capable of MAXN and will throttle if there is an issue. Didnāt see any warnings when purchasing indicating MAXN may be limited. Thanks for the discussion.

Orin Nano super is a software upgrade for devkit. It will be available to all kinds of Orin Nano/NX in next Jetpack release.
For now, only the devkit version has this upgrade.
