NVIDIA has released JetPack 4.2 and L4T R32.1. This is the latest production release for Jetson TX2 series modules. JetPack 3.3 (the older production release) remains available on the Jetson developer site.

The new NVIDIA SDK Manager can be used to install JetPack 4.2, including developer tools with support for cross-compilation.

For more information, please refer to the JetPack Release Notes and L4T Release Notes.

JetPack 4.2 components:

  • L4T R32.1 (K4.9)
  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS aarch64
  • CUDA 10.0
  • cuDNN 7.3.1
  • TensorRT 5.0.6
  • VisionWorks 1.6
  • OpenCV 3.3.1

Is Deeptream 1.5 on TX2 compatible with it?

3

I flashed the board with the new release, and now I can’t ssh to it anymore. Seems it is lost in some miserable GUI that expects first configuration input. What a load of BS :( I do not have a USB keyboard at home, and only the TV to act as monitor, as I am a pure laptop user. Now I have to take the board to another place just for init.

Not being able to set it up via ssh headless is really annoying :(

The previous release had ssh active by default.

Hi,

Are there any tensorflow packages for this Jetpack4.2?

5

There is no ‘jetson_clocks.sh’ on Xavier after I flashed new Jetpack4.2 by SDKManager. So how can I increase the Jetson clock limits?

6

try command ：‘sudo jetson_clocks’，this should be work

and then，use ‘sudo jetson clocks --show’ to display current settings

7

Thanks， It works.

Hi frederickk, DeepStream 1.5 is compatible with JetPack 3.2 / L4T R28.2. However, as announced in this blog, we are preparing a new DeepStream release for Q2 which will be compatible with the latest version of JetPack.

9

This initial configuration process promotes security by having each developer to specify their own username and password, as opposed to the older method of defaulting to “nvidia.”

Agreed. We plan for a future release to support headless initial configuration.

10

Hi, where did all the examples go (CUDA, etc)?
They are no longer in the nvidia/NVIDIA_CUDA-{version}_Samples/ folder, as that folder is no longer present.

11

/usr/local/cuda/bin/cuda-install-samples-10.0.sh

12

Thanks for the feedback, in fact I had to take the board to the office for being able to proceed. Note to myself, buy some cheap USB keyboard with touch pad for such incidents, and ensure having some adapters and a HDMI cable to the TV set at hand :)

Ralph.

Hi, please see here for latest TensorFlow installer for JetPack 4.2:

Hi,

if this version has fixed the bug: [url]https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1045151/jetson-tx2/pthread-mutex-lock-when-include-cugraphicseglregisterimage-call/1[/url]

Thanks.

Now,how to install cmake in my tx2,i have flash the jetpack4.2.in shows no this package.when i using jetpack 3.3. I can install it.

16

You should be able to install cmake with this command:

$ sudo apt-get install cmake
17

Ok, so download the new JAX-TX2 packages, unpack, reflash one of our boards, and the
kernel starts but no serial port access. And no nvidia/nvidia ssh access. So how
do we install our software (this is an embedded system, so no mouse, keyboard, or
monitor)?

18

I was able to clone a post-install image and install it into a headless system and
get access through the console. I am sure there are better ways to do this but it worked for me.

# 1 Flash with new factory rootfs
# 2 Boot with keyboard/mouse/monitor and run through setup
# 3 Put into recovery, connect usb 
# 4 clone rootfs image (this takes a long time)
sudo ./flash.sh -r -k APP -G backup.img jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1
# 5 put it where system.img is
mv backup.img bootloader/
cd bootloader/
mv system.img original-system.img
ln -s backup.img system.img
cd ..
# Now you can flash a module in a headless system and
# serial port and network login work.  Note that the
# usb gadgets (disk, network, serial port) come up too
USER=root ./flash.sh -r jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1

Ideally it should be possible to bypass this by modifying the rootfs on the host, but
this seems to be a work-around. Now at least I can start to see if our application will
run with the new os and kernel.

Hi All,

I have a fresh 18.04 Ubuntu machine. Downloaded and installed Jetpack 4.2, but I can’t flash either of 2 Tx2 devkits. Server and tegra are connected by ethernet cable to same router, and USB’s are connected. Also turned of tegra wifi.
I can ssh from server into Tx2 as both user and sudo. lsusb shows NVidia Corp.
Below is the command log file. I see a funny invalid IP address in the scp command (nvidia@192.168.55.1), could that be ip over usb? The tegra’s real ethernet IP is 192.168.0.123

Almost 2 full days on this ughhhh!

Thanks,

bill

Is there a JetPack 4.2 with ubuntu 16.04 available?
Thank you.
