2. Setup

2.1 Unboxing and Component Check

Before starting, carefully unbox your Yahboom Jetson Orin Nano SUPER kit and verify that all components are present. The standard kit includes:

• Jetson Orin Nano SUPER module
• Carrier board
• Power adapter
• Wireless LAN card (pre-installed)
• Antennas
• SSD enclosure (if included in your specific kit variant)

2.2 SSD Installation (if not pre-installed)

The Jetson Orin Nano core module does not include eMMC storage. An NVMe SSD is required for operation. If your kit does not include a pre-installed SSD, you will need to provide your own 256GB or larger M.2 Key M SSD (2280 size recommended).

1. Locate the M.2 Key M slot on the carrier board.
2. Gently insert the NVMe SSD into the slot at an angle.
3. Press down the SSD and secure it with the provided screw.

4. Maintenance

4.1 General Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Jetson Orin Nano SUPER kit, follow these general care guidelines:

• Keep the device in a clean, dry environment, away from dust and moisture.
• Avoid exposing the board to extreme temperatures.
• Handle the board with care to prevent physical damage to components.
• Ensure proper ventilation, especially when running demanding AI tasks, to prevent overheating.

4.2 Software Updates

Regularly update the Jetson software (JetPack) to benefit from the latest features, performance improvements, and security patches. Refer to the official NVIDIA Jetson documentation for detailed instructions on updating JetPack.

5. Troubleshooting

This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter.

5.1 Power Issues

• No Power: Ensure the power adapter is correctly connected to both the board and a working power outlet. Verify the power switch on the carrier board (if present) is in the 'ON' position.
• Intermittent Power: Check all power connections for looseness. Use the provided power adapter as incompatible adapters may cause issues.

5.2 Display Issues

• No Display Output: Confirm the display cable (HDMI/DisplayPort) is securely connected to both the board and the monitor. Ensure the monitor is powered on and set to the correct input source.
• Garbled Display: This could indicate a software issue. Try reflashing the system image if the problem persists after a reboot.

5.3 System Not Booting

• Boot Loop or No Boot: This often points to an issue with the SSD or the system image. Ensure the SSD is properly installed and contains a valid JetPack image. You may need to re-flash the system image.
• Peripheral Not Detected: Ensure USB devices are properly connected. For CSI cameras, verify the ribbon cable connection.

5.4 Performance Issues

• Slow Performance: Check the configured power mode. Higher performance modes (e.g., 25W) provide more computing power. Ensure adequate cooling to prevent thermal throttling.
• Application Crashes: Verify that your software environment (CUDA, TensorRT, etc.) is correctly installed and compatible with your applications. Consult the Yahboom tutorial materials for guidance.
