Unable to boot the NVIDIA Jetson Nano with any machine

[Manvendra199922]

Hi,

I am trying to boot the NVIDIA Jetson Nano for core-image-minimal and I tried two ways

1. I tried to flash using sudo ./doflash.sh as you mentioned we need to run this when we are booting for the first time. But it is giving this error while flashing

sudo ./doflash.sh

2. Then i tried flashing the sdcard using sudo ./dosdcard.sh /dev/sdb then i run sudo ./doflash.sh --spi-only with this i was able to flash the spi as well but the board is not booting and giving this error

Also i want to know while machine to use and which is best for NVIDIA Jetson Nano

Based on what I see in this path name: /home/manvendra/jetson_development/core-image-minimal-jetson-nano-2gb-devkit-20260120124111.tegraflash/cvm.bin.uOdnM I'm guessing that you used jetson-nano-2gb-devkit as the MACHINE setting?

Based on what I see here in the initial flashing output: Board ID(3448) version(400) SKU(0000) revision(F.0) from environment, you actually have a regular 4GB Jetson Nano dev kit, not the 2GB model. For that, you should be using jetson-nano-devkit as the MACHINE setting.

I was using that machine only jetson-nano-devkit and in that as well it was not working and I was getting the same log as above so just to test I switched the machine from jetson-nano-devkit to this one jetson-nano-2gb-devkit but nothing new it still comes irrespective of machine

[madisongh]

I doubt that you were getting the same errors. Could you try again, using the dosdcard.sh script to populate the SDcard and doflash.sh --spi-only to re-flash the boot firmware on the board, with the build using the correct MACHINE setting? If the boot fails, then attach those logs here, along with a description of exactly how you put together your build workspace, which branch you are using, and your build host machine/OS?
