Hello, I bought a Jetson Orin Nano but when it arrived it had Ubuntu 20.04 installed. I want to install Ubuntu 22.04. How can I do it?

Hello @alper.inci2272,

That might be because your board could have been flashed with Jetpack 5 from the factory, which is based on Ubuntu 22.04.

However, getting Ubuntu 22.04 should not be a complicated process. You can install Jetpack 6, which has Ubuntu 22.04 and you should be good to go.

In order to do so, please follow the instructions on the Installing Jetpack section of NVIDIA’s Jetpack 6.1 documentation.

Please let us know if you run into any issues or if you have any other questions, we would love to help.

Hello, thank you for your interest. I downloaded the NVIDIA SDK Manager, but it didnt works. I will download the NVIDIA SDK Manager to a different computer with 8GB of RAM. Then, I will connect the JETSON ORIN NANO to my computer. After that, I will flash JetPack 6 onto tje Jetson Orin Nano. I have tried a few steps, but it didn’t work. Are these steps correct?

Hello @alper.inci2272,

Yup, that sounds about right.

Just out of curiosity, what issues were you experiencing with SDK manager?

Currently, Ubuntu 20.04 is installed on Jetson Orin Nano. I connected it via USB to NVIDIA SDK Manager(host computer). But SDK Manager couldn’t detect Jetson Orin Nano.

Hello @alper.inci2272,

Got it.

And did you check that your Jetson is booted in recovery mode when trying to use SDK Manager?

Can you please share the output of lsusb?

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for your interest. I successfully installed Ubuntu 22.04.5 on the Jetson Orin Nano using the SDK Manager. The jumper I used for recovery mode was faulty. However, now the Wi-Fi module isn’t working. I have an Intel 8265NGW Wi-Fi module. If you could help, I would really appreciate it.

Hello @alper.inci2272,

Great to hear you are past the flashing issue.

Sure, I can try to help you as much as a I can with that wireless issue this posts.

I would first verify if the driver is being loaded and interacting with the chip.

Could you share the output of the following command?

  1. lspci
  2. dmesg
