Host Setup & Flashing

This phase prepares the host PC environment, extracts the pre-built L4T Oppila image, and flashes it to the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit via recovery mode.

Install Dependencies

Note

Skip step 1 if you have already installed the dependencies on the host machine.

Step 1: Update Package Lists and Install Required Packages

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y qemu-user-static sshpass binutils abootimg libxml2-utils nfs-kernel-server u-boot-tools android-tools-fastboot python3-pip lz4
pip3 install -U pip
Prepare Working Directory

Step 2: Download Required Files

Download OPPILA_AGX_ORIN_L4T_36.5.0_LGHM.tar.bz2 provided by Oppila Support.

Step 3: Create a Working Directory

mkdir ~/OPPILA_AGX_ORIN_L4T_36.5.0_LGHM

Step 4: Move the Downloaded Image

mv ~/Downloads/OPPILA_AGX_ORIN_L4T_36.5.0_LGHM.tar.bz2 ~/OPPILA_AGX_ORIN_L4T_36.5.0_LGHM/

Step 5: Navigate to the New Directory

cd ~/OPPILA_AGX_ORIN_L4T_36.5.0_LGHM/
Extract the OS Image

Step 6: Extract the Archive

Run the following command. Extraction may take several minutes:

sudo tar -xvJf OPPILA_AGX_ORIN_L4T_36.5.0_LGHM.tar.bz2

Once complete, a directory named Linux_for_Tegra will be created inside ~/OPPILA_AGX_ORIN_L4T_36.5.0_LGHM/.

Step 7: Navigate to the Extracted Directory

cd Linux_for_Tegra/
Set Recovery Mode

Step 8: Recovery Mode Setup

The Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit uses the onboard Force Recovery button.

Force Recovery and Reset buttons on the Developer Kit

  • Power off the Developer Kit
  • Connect a USB Type-C cable from the Developer Kit to the host PC
  • Press and hold the Force Recovery button
  • While holding it, press and release the Reset button
  • Release the Force Recovery button
Verify Device Detection

Step 9: Check the Jetson AGX Orin is detected in Recovery Mode on the Host PC terminal

lsusb

Look for an entry such as: NVIDIA Corp. APX

Note

If the device is not visible, try a different USB cable or repeat the Force Recovery button sequence.

Flashing Image

Step 10: Execute the below command to flash the image from the Host PC to the Jetson AGX Orin

sudo ./nvsdkmanager_flash.sh --storage nvme0n1p1

The terminal shows the flashing progress. Once it completes, the Jetson AGX Orin reboots into the new image.

Note

The flashing may take around 10-15 minutes.

Post-Flash Setup

Once flashing is complete:

1
Power Off

Power off the Developer Kit and disconnect the power cable.

2
Exit Recovery Mode

Disconnect the USB Type-C cable.

3
Connect Camera Modules

Connect the cameras via the AGX Orin MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board to the Developer Kit as per the Full Connection setup.

4
Power sequenceMandatory

Power on the AGX Orin MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board first and then power on the Developer Kit, or both at the same time.
