Installation

  • Make sure to have host machine Ubuntu v22. Higher versions will not work with SDK
  • Install Nvidia SDK manager
  • Under Jetson CPU chip, connect FC REC and GND pins to run device in reset mode
  • Connect USB-C port of the jetson with USB3 port of your host machine. Prefer fast cables, as USB-2 cable will be very slow
  • Run Jetson
  • Run NVidia SDK manager, that should detect the device
  • Check almost all checkboxes
  • After half of the installation is complete, SDK will ask about IP .
    • You now need to login into jetson (so connect display, mouse, keyboard)
    • Attach ethernet cable to jetson or connect via wifi. Run ifconfig and get its IP.
    • Make sure host machine and jetson are in the same network
    • In SDK manager, enter jetson IP so that it can install remaining software
