To flash the OS on your Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit using the SDK Manager installed on a Windows host machine, follow these steps:
-
Ensure the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit is in Recovery Mode: To do this, follow the procedure to determine whether the developer kit is in force recovery mode. You can find this information in the documentation provided with your kit or online.
-
Install the APX Driver: The APX driver is required for the SDK Manager to detect the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit. You can download the driver from the NVIDIA website. Follow the installation instructions provided with the driver.
-
Connect the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit to the Windows Host Machine: Use a USB cable to connect the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit to the Windows host machine. Ensure that the kit is in Recovery Mode.
-
Launch the SDK Manager: Open the SDK Manager on your Windows host machine.
-
Select the Host Machine and Target Hardware: In the SDK Manager, select Host Machine and then select Target Hardware (Jetson AGX Orin).
-
Select the Packages to Install: Choose the packages you want to install on the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit. You can select all the packages or choose specific ones.
-
Select the Storage Device: Select Manual Setup - Jetson Agx Orin and choose Emmc as the storage device.
-
Set the User Name and Password: Enter the user name and password you want to set for the flashed image.
-
Start the Flashing Process: Click Install to start the flashing process. The SDK Manager will download the required packages and flash the OS on the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit.
-
Verify the Flash: Once the flashing process is complete, log in to the device and verify that the installation was successful.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- Ensure that the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit is in Recovery Mode before attempting to flash the OS.
- Check that the APX driver is installed correctly and that the device is detected by the SDK Manager.
- If you encounter issues during the flashing process, refer to the SDK Manager User Guide for troubleshooting tips.
Comparison with Other Methods:
- Flashing the OS using the SDK Manager is a more user-friendly approach compared to flashing using the command line.
- The SDK Manager provides a graphical interface that makes it easier to select the packages and configure the flashing process.
- However, flashing using the command line provides more control over the process and can be useful for advanced users.
Additional Information:
- For more information on flashing the OS on the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit, refer to the NVIDIA documentation and the SDK Manager User Guide.
- Ensure that you have the latest version of the SDK Manager and the APX driver installed on your Windows host machine.

Could you have a native Ubuntu OS to install SDK manager to flash your device via JetPack?
Currently i have windows host only, is there any issue using Windows? If i install ubuntu using VMware will it work?
Not sure which Jetpack SW you want to flash, the windows can be supported from Jetpack 6.2.1. Support Jetson device flashing and target components installation only. Host development is not supported.
Please download SDK Manager to your host and follow user guide steps to re-flash BSP on AGX-Orin.

I have installed SDK manager in Windows host but when i am trying to flash BSP on AGX-Orin it is not able to flash, in the 1st screen it is showing device detected but when i am continuing the next step it is showing device not found. Do i need to use another Linux machine as a host having SDK manager to flash the BSP to AGX-orin? It looks like Windows host is creating problem, some driver issue may be.
