Hi helianyi1,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for Thor?

Do you connect the DP display at this moment?
If so, would you hit the similar issue if you disconnect the display?

hi nvidia:

I am using devkit

I connect HDMI display at this moment

if I disconnect the display, dont hit this issue.

Could you provide the steps to reproduce this issue?
and how about the failed rate?

then F10 –>Esc–>continue–>enter,100% hit this issue

Thanks for the steps. Please let me verify it locally and get back to you.

Is the issue specific to HDMI? (i.e. would you hit the issue if you connect DP instead of HDMI)
