I tried JP513 version and it thinking the old firmware might be installed (see image 2), but the system powers down. If you look at the third image it’s what shows before the system shuts itself down.
I’m using a micro SD card with a capacity of 64GB.
I’m seeking assistance or advice on how to resolve this issue. If anyone has encountered a similar problem or has suggestions for troubleshooting, I’d greatly appreciate your input. Thank you in advance for your help!
I went into UEFI menu by hitting escape, choose Device Manager → NVIDIA Configuration → L4T Configuration → OS chain A status → (The value is Unbootable if UEFI attemps recovery kernel) choose Normal → Save and exit, reboot, UEFI will try Direct Boot.

I see same screens as @vic8 on booting (after the BLKn: msgs the Orin drops into a simple shell mode). I already updated firmware, so his solution did not work for me. I followed the instructions at NVIDIA’s 🚀 Initial Setup Guide - Jetson Orin Nano - NVIDIA Jetson AI Lab with care. I tried both a 64 Gb and 128Gb sd card. Under Jetpack 5.13, I was able to update the firmware to 5.0-36585864 verified by the Orin’s UEFI. The board’s hardware worked BEFORE the firmware update under Jetpack 5.13 on the same 64Gb sd card noted above. So I believe the hardware and the sd card are sound. For those of us without a second PC running Ubuntu, the SDK Manager approach is unavailable. What else could be the boot problem?
If you got 5.13 working and the firmware updated, it actually bricks the system as per the setup guide. You now have the flash a SD card with the 6.2 installer and run it.
It’s odd yes, but it will work. You just have to do the setup/install twice.

I had to install the 5.13 OS first, do all the updates and update the firmware. Once the firmware is updated it will actually brick the device. Which if you fallow the setup is ‘normal’.
You then have to take the SD card out, flash it with the 6.2 install and it should get the OS installed again.
@vic8, thanks for that confirmation; I did exactly what you described. After updating the firmware under 5.13, the Orin bricked, as expected. But it refuses to boot with both a 64 GB and 128GB sd card, flashing those cards by both command line and with Balena. I still get the errors you originally posted. Does anyone know if it possible to roll back the firmware, against the chance the firmware update malfunctioned?
Yes, of course. I followed the steps outlined on NVIDIA’s page 🚀 Initial Setup Guide - Jetson Orin Nano - NVIDIA Jetson AI Lab. I tried booting from 5.13, 6.1, and 6.2 flashed packages. Each time, I saw the same style error as you started this thread with. I suspect the firmware is bollixed, but I cannot find reliable instructions for “rolling back” the firmware on a Orin Nano that cannot boot.
