Hello
I Have a Jetson TX1 board and I want to install JetPack and Flash Jetson with Nvidia-SDK Manager
I have downloaded all packages on SDK-manager and when I want to install and flash the jetson, jetpack, and os are installed on the internal sd card of the board
but I want to install the JetPack and OS on the External SSD-Drive that I connected to the board.
how can I do that?
internal SD-Card Doesn’t have enough space for installing all JetPack Components…
I think you can only install it into the built-in eMMC and then expand the usage space by mounting or migrating the system to the SSD. Not choosing additional options when installing makes perfect use of almost all eMMC space. This is really a bad design.

when you flash the Jetson with SDK-manager automatically install Ubuntu and kernel on the eMMC storage.
I try this way:
First I connected the SSD Drive to the SATA Sucket on the board
then I formatted the SSD Drive on Ubuntu with the “Disks” Application in Ext4 FileSystem.
next, I create the partition the size of the whole Storage.
next, I copy all the /root directory content to SSD Drive with the following command: sudo cp -ax / ‘/media/ubuntu/JetsonSSD-256’
next, we have to modify the boot configuration (change the extlinux.conf file):
change directory to: cd /boot/extlinux
make a backup of extlinux.conf file: sudo cp extlinux.conf extlinux.conf.original
edit the extlinux.conf for modify boot settings(you can use vim or whatever you have to change and edit .conf files): sudo gedit /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
in extlinux.conf file Duplicate the eMMC entry (usually named primary)
you have to change the LABEL, DEFAULT to satassd, root directory, MENU LABEL Internal eMMC, MENU LABEL Primary SATA SSD
SSD-Drive is: root=/dev/sda1
Internal eMMC is:
root=/dev/mmcblk0p1
then save the file and reboot the board.
if you have done everything successfully, your jetson booting up with SSD Drive, and Internal eMMC is loaded as a Memory card or something…
