The system does not boot

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson Systems Jetson Orin Nano

Hello,
While installing the Jetson Orin Nano super updates, the first time I turned it on, the power went out several times, and after that, the device never booted. I tried to solve the problem by burning the system to a microSD card, but that didn’t work. I want a way to make the device boot up.

I understand your concern about the Jetson Orin Nano not booting up after attempting to install the super updates. I’ll provide a comprehensive answer to help you resolve the issue.

Causes of the problem:

  1. Power issues: The power outages during the initial boot process might have caused the device to fail to boot properly.
  2. Corrupted system image: The super updates might have corrupted the system image, preventing the device from booting.
  3. Incorrect boot order: The boot order might not be set correctly, causing the device to fail to boot from the microSD card.

Troubleshooting steps:

  1. Check the power supply: Ensure that the power supply is stable and sufficient for the Jetson Orin Nano. Try using a different power adapter or a more stable power source.
  2. Reflash the system image: Try reflashing the system image to the microSD card using the Etcher tool. Make sure to download the correct image for your Jetson Orin Nano module.
  3. Verify the boot order: Check the boot order in the UEFI menu to ensure that the microSD card is set as the first boot device. Refer to the “Customizing the Default Boot Order in the UEFI Menu” section in the documentation.
  4. Try a different microSD card: If the issue persists, try using a different microSD card to rule out any issues with the card itself.
  5. Check the device-tree node: Verify that the device-tree node is correctly configured for your Jetson Orin Nano module.

Comparison with other Jetson modules:

The Jetson Orin Nano is similar to other Jetson modules, such as the Jetson Xavier NX, in terms of the boot process. However, the Jetson Orin Nano has specific requirements for the power supply and boot order.

Additional tips:

  1. Use a stable power source: Ensure that the power source is stable and sufficient for the Jetson Orin Nano.
  2. Follow the documentation: Refer to the official documentation for the Jetson Orin Nano, including the “Setup and First Boot” section, to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
  3. Seek support: If you are still experiencing issues, seek support from the NVIDIA community or forums, where you can find helpful resources and experts who can assist you in resolving the problem.

By following these troubleshooting steps and tips, you should be able to resolve the issue and get your Jetson Orin Nano to boot up successfully.
