SDKmanager

hi
I use a JETSON NANO 2G without an SD card
I need to install JETPACK 4.6.1 via SDKMANAGER
Only JETPACK can be installed starting from 4.6.3
Is it possible to install older versions?

Hi,

I am not sure what are you trying here with “Jetson nano 2gb without a sdcard”.

Without sdcard, this board cannot work…

There is a JETSON NANO without an SD card slot, you can install an operating system through the SDKMANAGER

Then that is not Jetson nano 2GB. It is Jetson Nano 4GB board…

Make sure you are using the board you want first so that the discussion can go further…

OK so 4gb
The more important question is about the SDKMANAGER

What did you see in your sdkmanager? Could you share a screenshot for what you saw?


i need Jetpack 4.6.1

please run

sdkmanager --archived-versions

guy@guy-HP-Laptop-15-dw1xxx:/$ sdkmanager --archived-versions

Error: unknown argument ‘–archived-versions’

Hi,

It looks like like the sdkmanager version you are using is too old. Could you upgrade your sdkmanager first?

Archived command shall work like this and will let you choose older jetpack.

I used version 2.1 at first but there is also not the Jetpack version I need (4.6.1)


after update

Did you run that with archived command?

not.
But I tried and it shows up now
Thank you very much

hey waynewww. We’ve been using the sdk manager to install software on jetson nano modules and it was going great. We were using sdk manager 1.8. Somehow it accidentally got updated. I made an attempt to revert it back and we are now on 1.8.0.10363 unsuccessfully.

Please help me clarify a few things. Jetson nano modules can be flashed using which target os’s. We where using 4.6.2 successfully but I broke something. What’s the latest compatible version of Jetpack we can use for the jetson nano modules? Also maybe you can help us narrow down the issue? See attached screenshot

Clarified here

  1. You never need to downgrade the version of “sdkmanager” itself. This thing is just an installer and we won’t remove old Jetpack release in later new Sdkmanager. Always keep “sdkmanager version” to latest to prevent bugs.

  2. Jetson Nano is a product released 5 years ago so the host PC which can flash it is limited to Ubuntu18.04 and 16.04.

  3. Is your host PC able to run apt-get update correctly?

yes why? We’ve been on bionic beaver because that seemed to be the only version compatible with jetpack/sdk/ubuntu for flashing. Is the suggestion to move to a different version of ubuntu and stop using the sdk?

Right now we use bionic beaver to flash a version of bionic beaver to the jetson nano that includes our software on it. Our software was being stored in nvidia/nvidia_sdk/jetpack_4.6.2_linux_jetson_nano_targets/linux_for_tegra/rootfs/home. Our download folder was /home/pcname/downloads/nvidia/sdkm_downloads and our target hw image folder was home/pcname/nvidia/nvidia_sdk

What we really need is just instructions how we can resolve this and best practices moving forward for flashing nano’s. Unless you are suggesting nano modules will be discontinued…

I went to the link dusty provided but need more instruction that what was provided there.

Please reply my question. That is the only thing I want to know now.
