I’d like to turn off the Splashscreen functionality on the bootloader for the Jetson Nano.  
I have tried using bootloader{ nvidia, skip-display-init;}; but it is not working.  
Any suggestion?

Hi carlos.rovira,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for Jetson Nano?  
What’s your Jetpack version in use?

Do you mean that you want to remove the boot logo during boot up for Jetson Nano?  
Or you want to remove the whole GUI after boot up?

I am using the JetPack 4.6.4 (R32 (release), REVISION: 7.4).  
The bootloader cannot always configure the monitor correctly so turn off the bootloader initialization, including the bootloader splashscreen is what I am looking for.

After trying the solution from this post, still appears the boot splash screen. The post you pointed me is from 2020 and JetPack 4.6.4 is a later release. Is there another possible solution?

For the Jetson Nano, the implement in cboot should be similar.  
There’s another topic with similar request: [How can I disable the boot logo in cboot?](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/how-can-i-disable-the-boot-logo-in-cboot/266006)

Could you share what you have done and the current status/logs?

Do you know if this solution stop the HDMI display clock during the bootloader phase?

The node that is proposing to modify in this solution ( `vdisplay@15210000` node ) does not exist in our file. Is there other options?

Could you run the following command on your board and share the  
`extracted_proc.dts` for further check?

```auto
$ sudo dtc -I fs -O dts -o extracted_proc.dts /proc/device-tree

```
