Dear Suhash,

Could you give some more details about the following feature:

It’s something we would like to have. How can we enable this, and how does it work? The release notes don’t give any specific details.

Best,

I was wondering if the floating issue as shown below was resolved when Jetpack 5.1 was installed on Xavier NX.

All of the documentation instruction using containers is wrong.
The containers do not work following the instructions.
The containers fail to ping6 a server on the Xavier as a staff member educated me.

  1. The container expects to ipv6 egress via USB to the Xavier.
  2. The container requires --network host to see the Xavier
  3. You can only have one --network host in docker, You cannot delete it to recreate one with ipv6 support as it is the default network.

This means, It is impossible for anyone to have ever tested the containers, If they did , Where is the missing documentation to workaround the above?

Dear Suhash,

There is inconsistency on the Jetpack 5.1.3 documentation.

  1. Second Paragraph: “It includes Jetson Linux 35.5 BSP with Linux Kernel 5.10, an Ubuntu 20.04 based root file system, a UEFI based bootloader, and OP-TEE”

  2. Under Key Features in JetPack 5.1.3: “Linux Kernel 5.10, UEFI based bootloader, Ubuntu 22.04 based root file system, NVIDIA drivers, necessary firmwares, toolchain and more.”

Which based root file system it is?

Thanks for pointing this out. It is based on Ubuntu 20.04
