I don’t think this will go anywhere but, I have an old Jetson TK1 sitting around that I would like to repurpose. Nothing special, I just have it and thought I could still use it to make a fun project. I downloaded the Jetpack 1.2 but cannot download the Install guide or the documentation. Is there a copy somewhere that I can use?

Hi StingWa,

Please reference below page and follow quick start guide steps to install your Jetson TK1.

Incidentally, the TK1 was the last 32-bit system (now everything is 64-bit). Back in R21.8 there was no JetPack, and definitely no SDK Manager. The basic flow on the host PC, which could even be Fedora back then on command line, is this:

  • Download the driver package and the sample rootfs.
  • Unpack the driver package somewhere as a regular user (do not use sudo). This creates “Linux_for_Tegra/” and “Linux_for_Tegra/rootfs/”
  • Unpack the sample rootfs in the “rootfs/” subdirectory as root (using sudo).
  • Go back to “Linux_for_Tegra/”, and run “sudo ./apply_binaries.sh”. From then on you can flash.
  • There was no first boot setup, it had a default user name/pass. Depending on what was going in it might have been either “nvidia”/“nvidia”, or it might have been “ubuntu”/“ubuntu”.
