Review on Enhance Your Development Projects with the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit (945-13450-0000-100) by Ryan Brunson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Nano ERROR (poor performance)

I got this unit a few weeks ago and when I turned it on everything was fine. I downloaded the operating system according to the instructions on the Nvidia website and everything went fine. So far I've inserted the SD card, turned it on and the first picture above is what I got. I got another SD card and booted the OS again on the second SD card and the second picture above is what I got. I'm not sure what these error codes and crashes mean and there is no description of their meaning anywhere. After some time after some checking I found that they are TORCHED 2 SD cards, which are NOT recoverable and will no longer be read. I also found out that it ONLY accepts NAMED BRAND SD CARDS, Even if the NO NAME brand SD cards are rated for Ultra 10 transfer rates, they just burn like the 2 micro center SD cards I did tried before using the 32 gigabyte Sandisk Ultra card and at that point everything booted up and loaded properly. I was NOT impressed with the performance at all, I was expecting at least the same performance as the Shield Pro I have and this version of the Jetson nano 4 Gigabit was nowhere near the performance of the Shield although the specs say what they are target. I was very disappointed but this time I will be sending it back. I might have a weak or broken one in league, but at this point I'll have to wait a while before trying again.
