Booting the Jetson Orin Nano - NX Developer Kit

The Orin Nano - NX developer kit doesnt't come pre-flashed and ready to boot (if you wish to build and flash the OS by yourself, check our JetPack SDK section). 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 Port cable is not provided with the developer kit box.
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 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.
