nvcc --version- Since march 2019, Nvidia has released a SDK manager tool to flash jetson, complete doc is available here: https://docs.nvidia.com/sdk-manager/index.html
- You need a machine running Ubuntu to install it (that is not the jetson), download link is here: https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/downloads
- Then follow the steps of the documentation: https://docs.nvidia.com/sdk-manager/install-with-sdkm-jetson/index.html
Common issues:
-
When you reach the flashing part, the automatic mode didn't work for us when writing this doc, we did flash using manual mode. (You need to put in recovery mode manualy and verify it with this command)
-
If you get
LOST CONNECTION to jetson, try replug-in the usb cable - also make sure that python ist installed on the host computer ($ sudo apt-get install python), since this can cause that error as well. -
NANO: After the initial setup of the nano the software updater can be stuck. If this happens you can follow this guide to solve this issue: Ubuntu update error “waiting for unattended-upgr to exit”
