WHAT YOU WILL LEARN?
Open the NVIDIA SDK Manager. Select the correct JetPack version for Target Operating System and “Jetson AGX Orin modules” for Target Hardware (The “Host Machine” components are not required).
Then, continue to Step 2.
Choose only “Jetson Linux”, accept the terms & conditions and continue to Step 3.
The SDK Manager will ask the username’s password. Fill it and continue.
After the Jetson OS has created, the SDK Manager asks the Jetson module’s flashing style. Just skip it and exit from the SDK Manager.
Open the target HW image folder.
For JetPack-6.0:
AGX Orin or AGX Orin Industrial: ~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_6.0_Linux_JETSON_AGX_ORIN_TARGETS/
For JetPack-6.0:
Download the BSP files from GitHub link and extract it (AGX Orin, AGX Orin Industrial)
Hint: The following steps have done for AGX Orin, but they are the same for the other Jetson module types (only the BSP files and flashing commands are different).
Copy all files to the target HW image folder.
Open a Terminal in the “Linux_for_Tegra” folder.
Create the system binaries with these commands below:
sudo ./tools/l4t_flash_prerequisites.sh
sudo ./apply_binaries.sh
Apply the new BSP files and interface configurations with the following commands below:
cd ..
sudo ./replace_bsp_files.sh
cd Linux_for_Tegra/
Hint: If you want to configure your username-password & hostname with default settings, you can create user without the Ubuntu installation wizard. To do this, the user generation command structure should be:
sudo tools/l4t_create_default_user.sh -u {USERNAME} -p {PASSWORD} -a -n {HOSTNAME} --accept-license
For example (username:"nvidia", password:"nvidia", device-name:"nvidia-desktop"):
sudo tools/l4t_create_default_user.sh -u nvidia -p nvidia -a -n nvidia-desktop --accept-license
Connect the recovery USB (between installer PC & MILBOARD-AGX's recovery USB) and power connection of your MILBOARD-AGX.
Then, type “lsusb” and check the device connected in Recovery mode.
• "0955:7023 NVidia Corp." for AGX Orin 64GB
For AGX Orin, flash the Jetson OS with this command below:
sudo ./flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit mmcblk0p1
For AGX Orin Industrial, flash the Jetson OS with this command below:
sudo ./flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit-industrial mmcblk0p1
At the end of the script, the device will reboot. Complete your Ubuntu installation wizard (if you have not created a user with tools/l4t_create_default_user.sh script file) from the MILBOARD-AGX (language, keyboard type, location, username & password etc.).
[Optional] If you will use the recovery USB port as host (to be able to connect USB devices), please verify that the FDT parameter has been applied in the extlinux.conf file. In JetPack-6 installation, this parameter may not included in it. If this parameter is missing in it, please open it with a text editor and write "FDT" with the DTB file (located in the /boot/dtb/ folder).
Then, please open a terminal from the Jetson Orin and type the following command below. This will update its current device-tree and reboot it.
Otherwise, you can use this port for virtual network communication (file transfer etc. between host PC with 192.168.55.1 IP address) in default.
sudo switch_dtb.sh
Connect the MILBOARD-AGX to the Ethernet. Then, open the NVIDIA SDK Manager. Select the correct JetPack version for Target Operating System and “Jetson AGX Orin modules” for Target Hardware (The “Host Machine” components are not required. Additional SDKs (DeepStream) are optional).
Then, continue to Step 2.
Choose at least “Jetson Runtime Components” (“Jetson SDK Components” are optional. It depends on your use case), accept the terms & conditions and continue to Step 3.
The SDK Manager will ask the username’s password. Fill it and continue.
Type the IP address, username and password of Jetson Orin module and install the SDK Components.
At the end of the installation, the MILBOARD-AGX becomes ready.
To avoid kernel update with "apt upgrade" or "apt-get upgrade" commands, please follow this guide on the Jetson module.
