Chapter 3. Jetson Orin NX Boot
Considerations
The Jetson Orin NX can boot in two ways:
 QSPI – normal operation
 USB Recovery Mode – development and production programming
3.1 QSPI Boot
The Jetson Orin NX module normally boots from QSPI. However, the QSPI’s 64 MB of storage
is not expected to contain all the files for a fully functioning system. Secondary storage needs
to be provided through NVMe using PCIe.
3.2 USB Recovery Mode
USB Recovery mode provides an alternate boot device (USB). In this mode, the system is
connected to a host system and boots over USB. This is used when a new image needs to be
flashed. To enter USB recovery mode, the
FORCE_RECOVERY* pin is held low when SYS_RESET*
goes high which can be when the system is powered on or
SYS_RESET* is asserted after the
system is powered on.

FORCE_RECOVERY* is the SoC RCM0 strap
 Only
USB0_D_N/P supports USB Recovery Mode
No other signals are required or supported for entering Force Recovery mode. Neither VBus
or USB ID detection is needed. If the force recovery strap is held low coming out of reset,
Jetson Orin NX will configure USB0 as a device and enter recovery mode.
See the USB section (Section 7.1) for an example figure that shows USB0 connected to a USB
Micro B connector.
