Hi there,

I am looking for the best solution to clone a Jetson Orin NX 8gb with Jetpack 6.1 into other targets with the exact same jetpack and bootloader. In other Orin Nano I was able to extract the nvme disk, plug it onto another computer with an external nvme reader and create the image with

sudo dd if=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress | gzip -c > /media/sf_F_DRIVE/backup_orin_may_25/img_orin_may.img.gz

I then restored the image by plugging back the target nvme disk, formatting it using GPT schema, and the restore the image with:
gunzip -c IMAGE_NAME_CHANGE.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress

After which I plugged the nvme disk in the Orin and run it from where i left off.

Since I am working in a camera system powered by an Orin NX, and it is quite challenging/ time consuming to disassemble the camera to take out the disk, I would like to know what is the best practice here. Tegra release:

Module: NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX (8GB ram)
Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish
Release: 5.15.148-tegra
R36 (release), REVISION: 4.0, GCID: 37537400, BOARD: generic, EABI: aarch64,
KERNEL_VARIANT: oot
TARGET_USERSPACE_LIB_DIR=nvidia
TARGET_USERSPACE_LIB_DIR_PATH=usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/nvidia

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for visiting the NVIDIA Developer Forums.
To ensure better visibility and support, I’ve moved your post to the Jetson category where it’s more appropriate

Cheers,
