Could not determine Jetson model - Jetson AGX Orin 64GB Developer Kit

My device is NVIDIA AGX ORIN 64GB and when I want to use the gpio function, I get an error ‘Could not determine Jetson model’.The device information and error message are as follows:


hello 503348689,

you’re going to toggle GPIO pins, right?
please refer to developer guide, Changing GPIO Pins.

hello JerryChang,
In fact, I encountered an error when importing Jetson.GPIO:
Exception: Could not determine Jetson model

hello 503348689,

may I know how you flash JP-5.1.2? did you flash it with SDK Manager?

Is your carrier/base board an agx orin developer kit? If you aren’t on a Dev kit following might get you past that error. From line 598 of /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Jetson/GPIO/gpio_pin_data.py

export JETSON_MODEL_NAME=“JETSON_ORIN”


What does following return?

cat /proc/device-tree/compatible
