Does NVIDIA provide support for Yocto Linux in Jetpack 7.2?

[jetson.lover]

I think I am correct, but just want to check:

• Prior to Jetpack 7.2, there was no official support for Yocto Linux on the Jetson Orin Nano (and similar) platforms. Gettin Yocto up on running was either on the User, or one should get help from third party experts.
• Jetpack 7.2 (unlike Jetpack 7.1) was made compatible directly compatible with the Jetson Orin Nano from release. From the release post on the 1st July, I see that there is a Quick Start Guide which states “Beginning with JetPack 7.2 (Jetson Linux R39.2), Yocto is an officially supported path on Jetson”. I assume that since the Rootfs target is set to the NVMe, we need to have an SSD installed (so we cannot run off the microSD with the conventional Ubuntu-based Jetpack till now)

Thanks @kayccc , I’ve linked to the announcement in my original post and read through it. 🙂

To be more specific about the “Yocto is an officially supported path on Jetson” statement:

• NVIDIA provides official pre-built Yocto images. These did not exist prior to Jetpack 7.2: pre-built Jetpack images were limited to Ubuntu.
• Unlike the Ubuntu version of Jetpack 7.2 (and prior) described in the Jetpack 7.2 quickstart for the Jetson Orin Nano we CANNOT load the prebuilt Yocto version of Jetpack 7.2 from the microSD.

Can you confirm my understanding is correct?

Hi,
The prebuilt Yocto image is for Orin Nano developer kit + rootfs in NVMe SSD. If you would like to have rootfs in Sd card, please built it manually. Please check the steps in

Making sure you're not a bot!

To have rootfs in SD card, please set --machine jetson-orin-nano-devkit

tegra-demo-distro$ . ./setup-env --machine jetson-orin-nano-devkit

Aloha,

Posting for reference if building a custom Yocto OS with local offline LLM inference.
