When do we get access to tensorflow 2.2 on jetson nano . I get error while importing keras.

Error: Keras requires TensorFlow 2.2 or higher. Install TensorFlow via `pip install tensorflow

Although tensorflow 2.1 is already installed

Hi,

Do you install TensorFlow from our official release?

It looks like _keras_ v2.4.3 requires higher TensorFlow package now.  
Would you mind to use previous keras release to skip this issue?

```auto
$ sudo pip3 install keras==2.3.0

```

Thanks.

Hi,

Just FYI.

We release a new TensorFlow package yesterday, which is v2.2.0.

```auto
$ sudo pip3 install --pre --extra-index-url https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/jp/v44 tensorflow==2.2.0+nv20.6

```

Thanks.
