Can NVIDIA SDK Manager Run Multiple Windows and Install CUDA on Multiple Jetson Systems at Once?

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson Systems Jetson Nano

Hi everyone, I want to know about somthing I’m trying to set up CUDA and JetPack on multiple Jetson boards from my host PC using NVIDIA SDK Manager, and I’m wondering:

  • Is it possible to open more than one SDK Manager window on the host PC?

  • Can I install CUDA or flash multiple Jetson devices simultaneously?

I’ve noticed that SDK Manager usually only allows one GUI window per user, and I don’t want to wait to set up each board one by one.

Does anyone know the best way to run multiple instances safely, so I can speed up the setup for more than one Jetson system at the same time? Any tips, workarounds, or solutions would be really appreciated!

Hi,

Please refer to the following official documentation sections:

To complete the task:

  1. Flash the Jetson Nano and install the required CUDA packages.

  2. Create a backup image of the Jetson Nano.

  3. Perform mass flashing using the backup image by following the instructions in README_backup_restore.txt.

Thanks

Thanks for your help sir, but if possible I want to setup cuda in more than one system through sdk manager or terminal. I tried opening more than one window in sdk manager but it only happens one GUI at a time.

Hi,

The SDK Manager cannot perform the mass flash.

Please refer to the document above and perform the mass flash process via the terminal.

Thanks
