We are pleased to announce the production release of JetPack 6.2.2. JetPack 6.2.2 packages Jetson Linux 36.5 with Linux Kernel 5.15 and Ubuntu 22.04 based root file system. JetPack 6.2.2 is a minor upgrade over JetPack 6.2.1. This release supports all NVIDIA Jetson Orin modules and developer kits.

What’s new in JetPack 6.2.2

  • Fixes for known issues and security vulnerabilities.

You can install JetPack 6.2.2 with any of the methods below

  • SDK Manager: You can do a fresh install of JetPack 6.2.2 using SDK Manager.

  • Debian Package: If you have JetPack 6 already installed on Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit or Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit, you can upgrade to JetPack 6.2.2 using APT. Refer to the steps here.

  • Manual Flashing: If you prefer to install using the command line, you can flash Jetson device from a linux host by following steps here. Once Jetson Linux is flashed, you can install the compute stack using SDK Manager (using linux host) or by running “sudo apt update” followed by “sudo apt install nvidia-jetpack” on Jetson.

  • SD Card: If you are using Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit, you can download the SD Card image from JetPack 6.2.1 page and use Balena Etcher to prepare the SD Card with JetPack 6.2.1. You can then follow the instructions below to APT upgrade to JetPack 6.2.2.

STEP 1: Edit source.list to point to 36.5

vi etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-l4t-apt-source.list

change all repo versions to r36.5 in this file

STEP 2: APT upgrade and reboot

sudo apt update

sudo apt dist-upgrade

sudo apt install --fix-broken -o Dpkg: :=“–force-overwrite”

Note: JetPack 6.2.2 packages the same libraries, components and supports the same SDKs as JetPack 6.2.1.

​Subject: New Jetson Orin Nano - JetPack 6.2.2 “MISSING” in jtop despite CUDA being installed

​The Problem:

"I have a brand new Jetson Orin Nano (8GB). I just finished flashing it and installing the components using SDK Manager with the latest JetPack 6.2.2 (L4T 36.5.0).

​During the installation via SDK Manager from my laptop, the process appeared to hang at 80.69% overall, but CUDA showed 99% installed.

​When checking the status on the Jetson using jtop, I see the following:

  • ​Jetpack: MISSING (highlighted in red)

  • ​CUDA: 12.6.68 (Detected and working)

  • ​cuDNN: 9.3.0.75 (Detected and working)

  • ​OpenCV & TensorRT: MISSING

​I have already tried running sudo apt install nvidia-jetpack multiple times, and I’ve also run sudo apt full-upgrade, but jtop still insists that Jetpack is ‘MISSING’. Since the CUDA libraries are clearly present, is this just a reporting bug in jtop with the new 6.2.2 version, or am I missing a specific environment variable or meta-package?"
