Regarding Jetson Orin NX Series Modules- Hardware Errata, Is it possible to make access to the Serial Number Lookup Page’s GET request public without having to log in?
I’d like to show a warning in my bashrc, querying the URL without saving the auth_cookie in the NX.
Thank you

To address your question regarding making access to the Serial Number Lookup Pages GET request public without having to log in for the Jetson Orin NX Series modules, we need to consider several aspects of the Jetson platform and its security features.
Firstly, the Jetson Orin NX Series, along with the Jetson Orin Nano Series, are part of NVIDIA’s Jetson family, designed for AI computing and computer vision applications. These modules are highly integrated systems-on-modules (SoMs) that provide a comprehensive platform for developing AI and computer vision applications.
The Serial Number Lookup Pages are likely part of NVIDIA’s support infrastructure, allowing developers and users to look up specific information about their Jetson modules, such as warranty status, product details, and potentially, hardware errata. Access to these pages typically requires authentication to ensure that only authorized users can access potentially sensitive information about their devices.
Your request to make this access public via a GET request without requiring a login is understandable, especially for automating tasks or integrating such checks into scripts, like your bashrc. However, there are several reasons why NVIDIA might not make this information publicly accessible without authentication:
Security and Privacy: Exposing serial numbers and associated device information without authentication could pose security and privacy risks. Serial numbers can be used to identify specific devices, potentially allowing unauthorized access or targeting of devices.
Warranty and Support: NVIDIA may use the authentication mechanism to verify the warranty status of devices and ensure that support resources are accessed by legitimate owners or authorized parties.
Hardware Errata and Fixes: Hardware errata information might include details about vulnerabilities or issues that could be exploited if made publicly available without any control.
Given these considerations, making the Serial Number Lookup Pages accessible via a public GET request without authentication might not be feasible or advisable from a security standpoint. However, there are potential alternatives you could explore:
API Access: NVIDIA might provide an API for authorized developers or partners to access certain information, including serial number lookups, in a controlled manner. This would typically require registration and obtaining an API key.
Scripting with Authentication: You could modify your script to authenticate with NVIDIA’s servers before making the GET request. This would involve storing your authentication credentials securely and using them to obtain an auth cookie or token that can be used for subsequent requests.
Local Database: For hardware errata specifically related to the Jetson Orin NX, you might consider maintaining a local database or list of known issues that you can check against, rather than relying on real-time lookup. This approach would not provide the most current information but could be useful for known issues.
In conclusion, while making the Serial Number Lookup Pages publicly accessible without authentication might not be possible due to security and privacy concerns, there are alternative approaches that can help achieve your goals, such as using official APIs, scripting with authentication, or maintaining local databases of known hardware errata.

I’d like an answer not from a LLM. Thank you
I will forward this request to internal team for discussion, but don’t think that will happen in short period.
