How to clone Jetson Nano SD Card?

Apparently, python needs to be installed or it’ll complain about a missing “signed” dir so we’ll

sudo apt install python

and finally, to create the image itself:

ubuntu@tegra-image-maker:~/Linux_for_Tegra/tools$ sudo ./jetson-disk-image-creator.sh -o sdcard.img -b jetson-nano -r 200

You’ll find a sdcard.img in the path you ran that script.

If your board revision is not 200, or you have a Xavier NX, you will need to adjust the above command accordingly. Help (currently) is as folows, but if you’re reading this in the future you should check with --help anyway.

ubuntu@tegra-image-maker:~/Linux_for_Tegra/tools$ ./jetson-disk-image-creator.sh --help

ERROR: This script requires root privilege
Usage:
jetson-disk-image-creator.sh -o <sd_blob_name> -b <board> -r <revision>
        sd_blob_name    - valid file name
        board           - board name. Supported boards are:
                           jetson-nano
                           jetson-xavier-nx-devkit
        revision        - SKU revision number
                           jetson-nano: 100/200/300 for A01/A02/B00
                           jetson-xavier-nx-devkit: default
Example:
jetson-disk-image-creator.sh -o sd-blob.img -b jetson-nano -r 300
jetson-disk-image-creator.sh -o sd-blob.img -b jetson-xavier-nx-devkit

And there you have it. You can copy sdcard.img to your host (or wherever) and flash it on a SD card with Etcher, and it will include your software pre-installed.
