Trouble installing Jetpack: unmet dependencies

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson AGX Orin

I’ve just got an AGX Orin, and I’m following the guide here:

Results

cat /etc/nv_tegra_release

# R35 (release), REVISION: 4.1, GCID: 33958178, BOARD: t186ref, EABI: aarch64, DATE: Tue Aug  1 19:57:35 UTC 2023

I do

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo reboot

which work as expected. Then,

sudo apt install nvidia-jetpack

Hi,

Could you issue below commands again and share results with us to review?

cat /etc/nv_tegra_release

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-l4t-apt-source.list

Thanks

R35 (release), REVISION: 4.1 is Jetpack 5.1.2

I think that means you need to use sdkmanager from an ubuntu 22.04 computer to flash Jetpack 6.2 to your AGX Orin, i’m assuming, Developer kit.

Upgrading Jetpack to releases 6.0 and above require updated firmware for your Orin and to get that it needs to be flashed from sdkmanager.

Here’s the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit User Guide which is a good place to start.

Thanks!

Yep, it was an old version. The getting started guide seems out of date.

Just a suggestion; the jetson nano has a nice big UPDATE NEEDED box – perhaps something similar for the AGX?
