Test the alpha version of the Armbian for Jetson Nano. :)
The latest version of :

Start step. Download archive. Unpack. Write image to SD card (minimum SD card size from 8GB).
In these images we use a standard procedure of initial setting as in all the other images Armbian. The primary root password is 1234. :)
Add content link for MEGA site.
Importantly. If image capture is used SD card which was previously recorded in any system for Jetson Nano. It is necessary to completely erase (zero) SD card. Details can be seen in these messages.
To output audio via HDMI, you need to switch to the desired option in the settings (by default, analog audio output is enabled).
By default, audio output via analog is enabled, to output audio via HDMI, you need to switch the default device to HDMI in the settings panel (in the upper right corner, click on the dynamics and select the first device in the list by default).
Armbian is an āimproved\extendedā version of Ubuntu and Debian in 2 versions (Desktop and server). I have published one Ubuntu Desktop image so far. If there will be interest of users I can provide all 4 options of images for Nano. A small explanation of the purposes for which the optimal Armbian. Nanoās capabilities allow it to be used as a replacement for an ordinary PC. For example, as a replacement office PC for standard tasks (surfing the Internet, working with documents, etc.). In Armbian use advanced settings that improve the operation of the system, adding convenient tools for quick setup for specific tasks (utility armbian-config), etc. Reveal a little secret, how did Armbian for Nano. For a small company that is engaged in the development of robotics, it became profitable to update part of the working PC on the Jetson Nano. Several problems are solved at the same time. A single hardware component for infrastructure that can be used during non-working hours as a cluster to build work projects. A significant reduction in the cost of purchasing new conventional PCs with similar capabilities. Reduce energy costs. And a number of useful bonuses (increasing the number of purchased food reduces the price at a certain amount). :)
Congratulations on the port a armbian. With the current Ubuntu Jetpack distribution of nVidia, Iām having a lot of problems, any upgrade (a simple sudo apt-get update) breaks the distribution.
You have managed to run the demos correctly in armbian? I canāt wait to remove the T4L distribution from nvidia. See my post.
Aha. That isnāt what is breaking, and itās possibly nvidiaās fault for their customizations and not Ubuntu to blame. The bug is only on first boot and a workaround is to boot without network. If it happens outside of that itās likely a bad power supply or sd card .
I would recommend against installing an unknown image off the internet with a hardcoded root password and no first boot scripts as opposed to one built by Nvidia or canonical, no offense to op (I wouldnāt distribute my own images).
Bugs aside, they are likely to be fewer in L4T and you have nvidiaās software installed. If you want you can even fix the bug and build your own image with their tools.
@Glocke
Specify what ādemosā are we talking about ?
Judging by the description from your link, you have a problem with the media (maybe the SD card itself or the card reader on Nano). I used a regular Ubuntu image for Nano and had no problem running the system and installing packages in it. Iāve tried several different SD cards for Ubuntu (with a recorded stock image for Jetson Nano) and several versions of Armbian, everything works without problems. Alternatively, you can try a combined system startup, bootloader on the SD card, and place the root on any USB flash drive for verification.
@mdegans
Maybe for You it is an unknown image (source). If You have doubts, I recommend to visit the forum Armbian and study the information there. For hundreds of Armbian and LibreELEC users, this source is almost āofficialā. :)
p.s. I do not impose anything on anyone, all adults themselves can decide how to act :)

What size of SD card ? Do you have the ability to connect a UART console ? On this map were data\partitions ? Try to /dev/zero the card and then record the image with a special program. On the forum Armbian there have been many reports (for different devices) on the startup issues when you use the utility DD to write the image files. Try to perform a GPT table recovery on the SD card after recording on the PC (after recording the image, the GPT table may not be activated correctly).
16Gb SDcard never had issues writing to sdcards via dd, both Nvidia Ubuntu and Yocto boot run fine on my board. ill see if I can get a console on it. I did also nuke via parted all partitions on the third try. ill try etcher next. Ive also never had issues with āArmbianā itself on other boardsā¦ this one just not happy. ill take a second look at it.

armbian_ubuntu_desktop_jetson_nano_20190527.img ā Samsumg EVO Plus 32GB SD card using Win32DiskImager on Windows 10.
I didnāt do a lot of testing but booted up, played test video, checked network connections, apt-upgrade, reboot, installed GStreamer and ran the videotestsrc ā autovideosink.
All worked as expected. Looking forward to testing it in more depth when time allows. Great work so far
