  1. I use a 64GB sdcard and flashing jetson-nano-sd-r32.2-2019-07-16.zip using balena etcher for my Jetson Nano (dev kit). But the Jetson Nano failed to boot. Is there any way to correct it?
    How to determine if the Jetson Nano hardware still ok? I can put it into recovery mode and issue command:
    $ sudo ./flash.sh jetson-nano-qspi-sd mmcblk0p1
    But this process always stuck at writing APP with system.img

    [ 26.6015 ] Writing partition VER with qspi_bootblob_ver.txt
    [ 37.1162 ] […………………………………………] 100%
    [ 37.1279 ] Writing partition APP with system.img
    [ 38.7748 ] [ ] 000%
    Error: Return value 1
    Command tegradevflash –pt flash.xml.bin –storageinfo storage_info.bin –create
    Failed flashing t210ref.

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Warmest regards,
    Suryadi
