Hi. Great video. Thanks. I've had to superglue my microSD card as the holder is broken in order to get my Jetson Nano to boot. Can I force a USB boot even with a valid microSD card present? I see you had to remove it in your video.

Hi Jim thank you for sharing your knowledge and tools. They improve a lot Jetson's lineup. In fact I've got a Jetson Xavier NX running from NVME, obviously I've followed your tutorial. I would like to know if the procedure you shown here can be apply to Xavier NX now that JetPack 4.5 is out?. I still needed the SD card in place for my Xavier to boot. Will be an update video to boot Jetson Xavier NX from USB 3.0 SSD? Thanks again Jim!!!

Thank you for the kind words. My current understanding is that there is an issue which causes this type of method not to work on the Xavier NX under JetPack 4.5. Thanks for watching!

[@JetsonHacks]

rootOnUSB changes the initramfs. Did you change that to the previous state on your original SD card image? The note in the repository tries to manage your expectations, maybe you can help change the wording so that it resonates better with people: "WARNING: This is a low level system change. You may have issues which are not easily solved. You should do this working on a freshly flashed micro SD card, and certainly do not attempt this with valuable data on the card itself. Assume that if this does not work, you may have to flash the micro SD card again. A serial debug console is useful if things go wrong."

Is there anything that I have to change so that the nano picks up the usb hdd as a boot device?

[@maylo8924]

I am connecting the drive on the nano itself btw and not an external powered usb hub.

What does the serial console say when it enumerates USB? Does if find a mass storage device?

[@michaelp7052]

did you ever get this to work? I have the same issue

@@JetsonHacks I'd love to learn how to do that. I am having the same issue. I'm using a SATA USB converter for this
