Note: There are scripts to help you do the necessary basic setup after flashing Jetson on Holybro's Github page:

Currently, the Holybro Jetson baseboard only supports Jetpack versions 5.1.2 to 6.0 and 6.2.2.

Two methods to flash the board:

SDK Manager:

This is a GUI-based solution by Nvidia which can be found from the link below: https://docs.nvidia.com/sdk-manager/install-with-sdkm-jetson/index.html

Note: Keep in mind that at the time of writing this document, we chose to install Jetpack 5.1.2.

Extra procedure for Jetpack 6.2.2

For Jetpack version 6.2.2, a patch is required to install on the host computer.

Download the .rar file below and move/replace the existing file in nvidia->nvidia_sdk->JetPack_6.2.2_Linux_JETSON_ORIN_NX_TARGETS.

If the folder is not present, try flashing the Jetson once, and the SDK should create the folder

The difference here is you need to change the DIP switch on the carrier board to REC to boot in recovery mode.

Important procedure if the SSD has preinstalled Jetpack

After the system is cloned to a new SSD, we connect the SSD and Jetson module to the baseboard, enter the force recovery mode, and connect to the computer. On the computer used to flash the firmware with the SDK manager, navigate to the folder: nvidia ->nvidia_sdk, find the target version Jetpack folder, open it, and open the terminal at the folder location.

Once in the terminal, enter the command below: sudo ./flash.sh --no-systemimg -c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml jetson-orin-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1

In the latest Jetpack, the file path is bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml
