Booting the Jetson Orin Nano - NX Developer Kit

The Orin Nano - NX developer kit doesn't come pre-flashed and ready to boot (checkout our JetPack 6.1 and JetPack 5.x sections for detailed flashing instructions). These are the steps to boot your Jetson Orin Nano - NX developer kit for the first time once you have flashed the board:

1. Connect an external monitor to the carrier board’s Display Port or HDMI (4). The Display cable is not provided with the developer kit.
2. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the USB-A ports (5, 6).
3. Connect the power supply (included in the developer kit box) to the power inputs (3 or 8).

After this, you should see a green LED near of (8) turn on, and the monitor will show a window to create your login credentials and connect to WiFi.
