JetPack SDK Setup#

Note

Make sure your NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit has the base L4T BSP flashed, the Ubuntu system is up and running, and you can login to the system.

See BSP Installation for instructions on flashing the L4T BSP.

Install via apt#

You can also install JetPack components directly on the Jetson without using SDK Manager:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-jetpack

This will install all JetPack components including CUDA, cuDNN, TensorRT, and other libraries.

Install via SDK Manager#

You can also use NVIDIA SDK Manager to install JetPack components. See BSP Installation for instructions on flashing the L4T BSP using SDK Manager.

While the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit is turned on, connect it to the PC with the bundled USB Type-A to Type-C cable.

Make sure you put the Type-C plug of the cable into the USB Type-C port ( 10 ) next to 40-pin connector.
