I met some questions that confused me, I'd like to know if these questions are caused by the old Jetpack version

Nvidia Jetson AGX orin 64G devkit
My jetpack version is 5.1.2-b104
Here are some questions I meet(not only about the jetpack version)：

  1. Slow boot speed：from the fan start – to the time I saw the linux desktop, it takes 60s, and my power mode is MAXN , I don’t know why it start so slow and it really confused me. How can I improve it and if there have any connection with the jetpack version? If I can improve it, what is the fastest speed I can reach ?
  2. Hardware temperature : do you have any suggestions to help me make orin cooler with the hardware(for example, install an extra fan) or software(for example, reduce computation amount ) method ?
  3. About docking station: I want to buy a docking station to add more interfaces , do you have any recommanded make、model or parameters of the docking station ? (I will use the interface to transfer sensor’s data)
  4. If the power mode of orin is MAXN , but the actual input voltage can’t reach the requirement, will it affect orin’s computation ability? How can I avoid it?
  5. My jetpack version is 5.1.2-b104, does it necessary to update it to the newest version? If I don’t update, what question may happened? If I update, will the code env and code reference on it be affected ?

There should be some improvement at newer JetPack SW, you cna get it a try.
You could also refer to Q: There is a wait in UEFI stage. How to disable it to accelerate system booting? to remove the 5s waiting time in UEFI.

System performance/power and heat are related, you may refer to Jetson Orin Nano Series, Jetson Orin NX Series and Jetson AGX Orin Series — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation to set the system in different mode for your usage on difference use cases.

I don’t think there is docking station available, supposed you mean the carrier board, right? You can find some products from vendors in ecosystem.

Plesae check the Jetson Orin Nano Series, Jetson Orin NX Series and Jetson AGX Orin Series — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation to find the suitable mode for your usage.

That depoends on whether you met any issue which resolved on newer version or need any new features implemented on newer version for your product or applications. But usually we will suggest developers/users to upgrade on the latest one.

Thanks
