Hello, I’m in dire need to help to be able to install Jetpack 4.3
I’ve accidentally deleted previously downloaded sdk files by wiping out our virtual Ubuntu machine. Our product, which uses the Jetson nano emmc version (no sd card), which has always been using Jetpack 4.3, can now no longer access it through the SDK Manager as the current SDK Manager does not offer Jetpack versions lower than 4.5.x, even after using the command: sdkmanager --archived-versions.
That command showed all the way down to Jetpack v. 4.4, but now even 4.4 doesn’t show and the oldest version i can access is 4.6.x. Is there any way possible I could be able to download the Jetpack 4.3 through the SDK? I post because it seems like there has been an update (no more 4.4 or 4.5.x), and I would like to know if the developers could help, or whether I should give up.
Current methods I’ve tried (that haven’t work) include:
Using the archived-versions command (as mentioned)
Installing through Ubuntu 18.04 & 16.04 (same interface)
trying to download packages individually after flashing the OS onto my Jetson nano - this didnt work because I need tensorRT (v 6.0.1)'s arm64 version, which is unavailable online (in another post i’ve read that it can only be obtained through jetpack sdk, hence my reason for wanting to find a solution within the sdk manager)
copying (dd) the entire OS from another device is useless, as we currently do not have any backup jetson nano that is the EMMC version, and only have the SD-card version
Somehow use the SD-card img file to burn on to the EMMC jetson nano that we currently have - lots of posts say that the emmc versin isn’t compatible with the sd card img, and I had a separate issue of storage restraints when attempting
Thank you so much. You’ve saved me. I was only struggling with SDK Manager, which didn’t work. I also didn’t find the repo: Index (nvidia.com) which technically has everything that I needed. It seems like the command you have shown above calls from that repo.
I’m going to look for ways to download the ones i need (common and t210) and move it to a USB, and try unpacking everything directly in case there’s a day where the jetpack 4.3 portion of the repo gets archived.
Writing down for others and for future reference -
Such a simple solution - to have the corresopnding OS for the desired Jetpack installed, boot, connect the ethernet cable, sudo apt update (if necessary), then the command you have shown me
I greatly appreciate the follow-up. Having tried it on a virtual machine (Ubuntu 18.04, from host Windows 11), I see that the previously deleted packages (versions 4.4 and 4.5.x) seems to have reappeared when using sdkmanager --archived-versions. Versions 4.3 and below do not show.
Whilst it doesn’t concern me anymore as your previously mentioned solution of using sudo apt-get install nvidia-jetpack is working, will downloading jetpack version 4.3 (and/or under) not be available from sdkmanager? Asking out of curiosity.
