Host Setup & Flashing

This phase prepares the host PC environment, extracts the pre-built L4T Oppila image, and flashes it to the Jetson Orin Super 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_ORIN_L4T_36.5.0_LM.tar.bz2 provided by Oppila Support.

Step 3: Create a Working Directory

mkdir ~/OPPILA_ORIN_L4T_36.5.0_LM

Step 4: Move the Downloaded Image

mv ~/Downloads/OPPILA_ORIN_L4T_36.5.0_LM.tar.bz2 ~/OPPILA_ORIN_L4T_36.5.0_LM/

Step 5: Navigate to the New Directory

cd ~/OPPILA_ORIN_L4T_36.5.0_LM/
Extract the OS Image

Step 6: Extract the Archive

Run the following command. Extraction may take several minutes:

sudo tar -xvJf OPPILA_ORIN_L4T_36.5.0_LM.tar.bz2

Once complete, a directory named Linux_for_Tegra will be created inside ~/OPPILA_ORIN_L4T_36.5.0_LM/.

Step 7: Navigate to the Extracted Directory

cd Linux_for_Tegra/
Set Recovery Mode

Step 8: Recovery Mode Setup

Place a jumper between FC REC and GND pins on the carrier board as shown in the below image:

recovery mode jumper — FC REC and GND pins

After placing the jumper:

  • Connect Jetson Orin Nano/NX module on Developer Kit
  • Power on the Developer kit using the provided power adapter
  • Connect a USB Type-C cable from the Developer kit to the host PC
Verify Device Detection

Step 9: Check Jetson Orin Nano/NX is detected in Recovery Mode on Host PC terminal

Look for an entry such as: NVIDIA Corp. APX

Note

If the device is not visible, try a different USB cable or ensure jumper is placed in FC REC and GND pins.

Flashing Image

Step 10: Execute the below command to flash image from Host PC to Jetson Orin Nano/Nx

sudo ./nvsdkmanager_flash.sh --storage nvme0n1p1

A successful flash is shown in the image below:

Successful flash

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
Recovery Mode Remove

Remove the jumper from the FC REC and GND recovery mode pins on the Developer Kit.

3
Connect Camera Module

Connect the camera module via LVDS–MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board to Developer Kit as per Full Connection setup.

4
Power sequenceMandatory

Power on the LVDS-MIPI Bridge Board first and then power on the Developer Kit or both at the same time.
