Embedded OS Alternative to L4T

Hi everybody,

I am looking to install a more lightweight alternative to L4T on the Jetson AGX Xavier. Generally, I would like to build an embedded Linux alternative using Yocto or Buildroot. I have been able to find some guides on working with Yocto on the Jetson devices (ex. Custom Linux Distro for NVIDIA CUDA Devices), but I would prefer to work with Buildroot over Yocto if possible. I was wondering if it would be possible to make a root filesystem for the Jetson using Buildroot, and if so, any guides would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Hi @john.mcinnis,

I understand that you prefer using Buildroot over Yocto. But here you can find an alternative guide for using Yocto on Jetson devices Yocto Support for NVIDIA Jetson Platforms - Yocto Support for NVIDIA Jetson Platforms
It is a good starting point if you want a customizable Embedded OS for the Jetson Family.

Here at RidgeRun we understand the importance of good guides and documented steps, which meta-tegra lacks a lot. We have been validating and will be contributing to the community meta-tegra. We also provide professional support if needed.

Regards,
