NVIDIA Jetson TX2 not booting

So I tried to put an image to the jetson bord with

dd if=~/disk_image.img of=/dev/sda

Unfortunately I got an error message when it was copying the image. I then shutdown the Jetson board.

Since then it does not boot up. When I power on the board it shows nothing on the connected screen.

If you haven't resolved this I would go ahead and just re-flash your Jetson with the latest version of Jetpack. This will completely restore your jetson back to a factory state (except it will be running the latest version of Ubuntu L4T of course).

I have done this several times with my TX2 and it always works great. Here are some notes from the last time I had to flash mine:

JETSON TX2 FLASH JETPACK

power off

  • hold POWER BTN for 5 seconds

connect usb

  • micro-B plug recovery port -> host

putty serial connection (optional)

  • Serial line: COM5
  • Speed: 115200

enter recovery mode

  • hold REC
  • press POWER BTN
  • press RST
  • release REC after 2 seconds

verify recovery mode

$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0955:7c18 NVidia Corp.

download and run latest jetpack

$ chmod +x JetPack-L4T-3.3-linux-x64_b39.run
$ ./JetPack-L4T-3.3-linux-x64_b39.run
