1. Flash From Scratch

1.1 Entering Recovery Mode

In order to enter the Recovery Mode, we need to connect Jetson Orin Nano's Pin 9 and Pin 10 with a jumper, and then turn on the power, and connect the Jetson Orin Nano with your desktop, here in my case, Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS.

1.4 Jetson Orin Nano Tutorial: SSD Install, Boot, and JetPack Setup

What can I say?

😞😢😭

My comment: so complicated. I'm too lazy to follow.

1.5 dd Is My Favorite Tool

For some reasons, on my Jetson Orin Nano, there is NO TF card slot, but a 128G SSD instead.

😳😳😳

Therefore, in my case, my BEST solution is to flash the SSD directly.

Simply download and unzip JetPack 6.1 Orin Nano SD Card Image first. Then, do dd:
