Jetson Orin Notes

Notes on programming/interfacing with Jetson Orin hardware.

Requires Ubuntu 22.04. Very unhappy to work on Gentoo.
Requires Intel/AMD 64bit CPU.
Download "Driver Package (BSP)" from here
Unpack (as root, get used to doing most of this as root), preserving privileges
- tar xjpf ...
Download "Sample Root Filesystem"
Unpack (as root..) into rootfs directory inside of the BSP archive above.
Run ./apply_binaries.sh from the BSP
- Note: If apply_binaries (or frankly, anything, this is brittle) fails, remove and recreate rootfs - the OS might be left in an unbootable state.
Reboot AGX into "Recovery Mode" - hold the recovery button and reset button, release simultaneously ((sic) reset first?)
Connect USB-C cable to the debug port ("front" USB-c)
Nvidia AGX device should appear in the lsusb
Run ./nvautoflash.sh
Watch for few minutes, typically it crashes early, then go for lunch.
