Hi, I have jetson orin nano 8GB module on A603 career board.
I cannnot use the USB 3.0 port after sudo apt upgrade.
Has anyone else experienced this issue after running apt upgrade on Jetson Orin Nano with the A603 carrier board?
If so, is there a known fix or workaround (e.g., reinstalling nvidia-l4t-xusb-firmware or kernel packages)?
Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Summary
After running sudo apt upgrade, the USB 3.0 ports stop working.
USB devices no longer receive power and are not detected in either lsusb or dmesg.
Environment
• Carrier Board: reComputer A603
• Module: Jetson Orin Nano
• Jetpack 6.2
• OS / BSP: Freshly flashed following Seeed Studio’s A603 Flash System guide
• Initial State: USB devices are properly detected right after setup
Steps to Reproduce
1. Flash the system on the A603 carrier board according to the official guide.
2. Plug in a USB device (e.g., Logitech Unifying Receiver) and confirm detection:
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
3. Run:
$ sudo apt upgrade
4. After reboot, connect USB devices again → No power, not listed in lsusb or dmesg.
Observed Behavior
• USB devices are no longer powered.
• lsusb does not show connected devices.
• dmesg logs show no activity when plugging/unplugging USB devices.
Expected Behavior
• USB 3.0 ports should continue functioning normally after apt upgrade.
• Connected USB devices should be powered and enumerated.
Notes
• The apt upgrade process updates a large set of packages, including

The issue seems related to changes in kernel or USB/XUSB firmware.
I suspect the issue is related to nvidia-l4t-xusb-firmware, however I haven’t found a solution yet.
