Jetson Nano 4GB RAM 16G eMMC onboard for AI Robotics Machine Learning (Heat Sink Version)

Tons of problems. A giant waste of time! Icould not find a REAL B01 from Nvidia, so I bought this one, a clone. It's a mistake! I am not a novice and can find my way around, but this product is totally hopeless! It only can use Ubuntu 18.04! I started out with Ubuntu 22.04, then 20.04, but had to go back all the way to 18.04 (had to buy 2 500GB SSD to do this! ) Then there is not enough storage on the eMMc to do anything! Can't get it to expand to the 512GB SD card I use! During all this struggle, the eMMc got corrupted and I spent tons of time trying to get inside the eMMc to debug/flash it! No luck! The Nvidia SDK cannot see the Nano board! Don't even try what I did. The vendor has zero support. All wiki/on line suggestions are worthless. I was lucky I could return it just before running out of time.

Bought a Chinese knock off first and had problems. Must have some understanding of how to update to JetPack 6 to make this operate. So buy the NVIDA as there is good online documentation. No support given from the Chinese company.

It does have a problem when updating and also have the problem with booting from the SD card. It doesn't have any clear instruction or manual inside. I first update the system and install some packages, but then it has problem after rebooting. I'm afraid the onboard eMMC storage/filesystem is corrupted. The suggested solution I googled says the eMMC should be reflashed. But the situation is I don't have Linux host available except for vm-linux. It doesn't look working. Now the booting gets stuck at somewhere around "Bridge firewalling registered". I tried to jump in bootloader stage to change the env variable, but it doesn't provide such the capability. The experience is so bad considering it's of Nvidia product. My initial feeling is Nvidia or this vendor doesn't consider the eMMC storage running-out situation and might go through some update during or after rebooting, then it causes the problem and cannot go back to previous good base point.

This item is not the new nano Orin. It has the old firmware on it, and it only has 1 name slot and that only works with the small 2230 nvme. I have tried to update this to the super firmware and it does not work, no mater what I do it will not take a firmware updat. The firmware was 4.61. This is like two years old. Do not buy from this vender. This nano is OLDSTOCK. I will return this ASAP. This is not what I thought I was getting..😡
