Part 4. Install ARC-OTA Using NVIDIA SDK Manager#

You can use NVIDIA SDK Manager (SDKM) to install directly on the target machine or from a remote machine. SDKM uses SSH to connect to the server, where it installs the gNB.

Important

The SDKM client cannot run on ARM, so SDKM installation is not supported on SMC-GH systems.

Steps to install ARC-OTA using SDK Manager can be found in the SDK Manager documentation

You can download the installer at https://developer.download.nvidia.com/sdkmanager/redirects/sdkmanager-deb.html

Prerequisites for Installing gNB with SDK Manager#

Use the Aerial cuBB Installation Guide for the following steps:

  1. Configure BIOS Settings

  2. Install Ubuntu 22.04 Server
