Jetson Nano Stuck on Black Screen After Flashing

To address boot issues caused by hardware changes in newer Jetson Nano (eMMC) modules, NVIDIA has released an overlay patch that must be applied before flashing. These modules, when used with the standard JetPack 32.7.5 BSP, may hang during boot due to the introduction of a new DRAM component. Applying the overlay ensures compatibility and allows the system to boot correctly after flashing.
