How to run Ubuntu 22.04 on the Jetson Nano

Now there is 22.04 based release https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetson-linux-r362

It is for the jetson Orin. This thread is about the Jetson nano.

I’ve got a ReComputer J1020 - a Nano on a carrier board with all sorts of ports. It is a real shame that Nvidia aren’t updating the Jetpacks for these older devices.

I’m trying to install and use YOLOv8, and have run into various issues… First of all of course the 16GB SD card was running out of space. The J1020 has an M.2 slot, so I installed a 256GB SSD drive, and moved across to using that (using the instructions at Memory Expansion | Seeed Studio Wiki - genius!).

So now I can try different things and if they don’t work can switch back to the SD card, format the SSD again and start again. It’s a bit like Groundhog Day. Luxury!

I’ve currently got Ubuntu 20.04 and YOLOv8 installed. My next challenge is compiling PyTorch from source, and I think I’m going to have to compile TensorRT from source as well. I have plenty of computer and programming experience but not much with Linux, so it is a fairly steep but enjoyable learning curve.

Any advice would be welcome!

Thanks anyway for this thread - it shows that anything is possible, and has encouraged me to ‘give it a go’.

(Nvidia support haven’t responded yet to my thread YOLOv8 on J1020 (Nano) using TensorRT model )

Is there any update on the new version for Ubuntu Jetson nano ?
Do you think There will be ubuntu 22.04 for the jetson nano eventually?

No. Nvidia wants that you buy the Jetson Orin. Jetson nano is dead and unsupported now and it will be forever. Anyway we have been able to install Ubuntu 22.04 on top of it.

Hey Marietto, thank you for your reply.
I Tried you manual , but could not succeed in installing the 22.04 on the Jetson nano :(
Do you have any suggestions ?

I can’t rewrite my comment, But I update my Ubuntu from 18.04 to 20.04 then from 20.04 to 22.04 but I didn’t have enough space. and the system went off, I am trying now to get enough space and start the procedure again.
Hope my comment will help you in your endeavors.
