Step 5: Connect the Jetson Platform in Recovery Mode

  • Power off the Jetson platform.
  • Press and hold the Recovery button.
  • Power on the device while continuing to hold the Recovery button.
  • Wait 2 seconds, then release the Recovery button.

To verify recovery mode on your host PC, check dmesg output. You should see something like:

Step 6: Flash the BSP

Start the flashing process:

The flashing tool will handle writing the system image and BSP to the Jetson device. Once complete, the device will be ready for use.

[24685.229132] usb 1-7: Manufacturer: NVIDIA Corp

5. Create user account (recommended):

Important Notes:

  • Ensure your host PC is a physical machine with a native Ubuntu install.

  2. Hold both the Recovery and Power buttons, then power on the kit.
  3. Release the Power button first, then the Recovery button.
  4. On the host, run “lsusb”; if you see an entry like Nvidia Corp., the kit is in recovery mode.

Installation

1. Download the BSP (Board Support Package) for your specific module version using this link: files starting with D131ON are intended for Orin Nano, while those starting with D131OX are for Orin NX.

2. (Optional) To make the setup process easier, you can move the downloaded file to a different folder. First, you’ll need to extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file. You can use the following command for this:

5. Run the setup script to choose the appropriate camera/profile:

6. To create a user account, run the command below. Pressing Enter through each prompt will result in the use of the default credentials: username “nvidia” and password “nvidia”. To customize, remove the [nvidia] placeholders and manually enter the desired username and password.

Copy

7. Start the flashing process by running:

Select the SSD you attached and choose option 0 to begin. A “Flash is successful.” message confirms completion and you’ll see the kit’s display activate.
