Flashing an Official Image with SDK Manager
Note
Do not upgrade the computer after receiving it.
- First, use SDK Manager to flash the official Jetson Linux 35.6.0 (JetPack 5.1.4) image.
-
Procedure: 2. Put the onboard computer into REC mode:
2.1 Turn off power to the system.
2.2 Use a USB cable to connect the ORIN OTG-USB port to a USB port on the Ubuntu development host.
2.3 Press and hold the REC button, power on the system, keep holding the button for at least 3 seconds, and then release the REC button.
2.4 Enter
lsusbin the host terminal. If an NVIDIA device is displayed, the device has successfully entered Recovery mode and subsequent operations such as flashing and backup can be performed. If no NVIDIA device is displayed, check the cable and the procedure for entering the mode, and then try again. -
- Open SDM Manager on the host and select the version to flash (Jetson 5.1.4). After selecting it, click CONTINUE to proceed to the next step.
-
- Select the applications to install (the defaults are sufficient), and click CONTINUE to proceed to the next step.
-
- Be sure to select NVMe during installation. New Username and New Password are the username and login password, which you can customize.
-
- When you reach this step, click Skip.
-
- Use the patch released by AMOVLAB to adapt the system for the Allspark 2 onboard computer.
Note
1. When upgrading with SDK Manager, be sure to select the matching JetPack version. Otherwise, the system will crash after the patch is applied. 2. Install Jetson Linux 35.6.0 (JetPack 5.1.4) Ubuntu 20.04.
