Hello,

I just bought a Jetson Xavier NX mounted on a J202 carrier board.

The seller added a SeeedStudio 128GB SSD before selling, the Xavier NX starts but get stuck on the BootManager/Setup screen and does not recognize my Apple’s USB keyboard.

WITHOUT the SSD the Xavier boots OK and the keyboard works OK.

Which type of keyboard should I use to be able to interact with the BootManager/Setup to finish the installation of this SSD ?

Thanks in advance.

It’s recommended to use a standard USB keyboard with a simple plug-and-play functionality. These keyboards usually have basic functionality without requiring additional drivers. You can try using a generic USB keyboard from a trusted brand to ensure compatibility.

If possible, you could also try using a wired USB keyboard instead of a wireless one, as wireless keyboards might have additional complexities during the boot process.

Thanks Seth

I have tried 2 different keyboard with no luck

So I continued to boot on eMMC but moved the rootfs to the SSD.
For a test config, this is enough for me.
