Update my orin nano to make it a Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit

When I flashed my orin nano 4GB to jetpack 6.1 (rev1) using sdkmanager, there is no maximum power MAXN. How can I do this? The kit does not contain an SD card slot.

Hi,
If your rootfs is in NVMe SSD, please try the manual command:

Quick Start — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation

* Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit with Super Configuration (NVMe)
$ sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 \
  -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_t234_nvme.xml -p "-c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" \
  --showlogs --network usb0 jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super internal

Hello, as shown in the two pictures below, there is still no MAXN. Is there any additional operation required?


Hi,
Now we support only Orin Nano 8GB. It is not enabled on Orin Nano 4GB.

Hello, as shown below, there is no MAXN option for the 8GB model.

Hi, can orin nx also support “super”?

Hi,
Now the mode is enabled for Orin Nano sku5(with SD card slot):
Overlay to add MAXN mode to existing Jetson Orin Nano on top of Jetpack 6.1 installation - #7 by DaneLLL

We are planning to enable it to other platforms in the future.

Hi, thanks for the instructions. Will the switch between 15W and MAXN mode reboot? Switching from 7W to 15W/MAXN will reboot. This instruction doesn’t work either. I used sdkmanager to program it.

Hi,
It needs to reboot the system after switch to another power mode.

Do you use Orin Nano module sku 5(with sd card slot)? If ye, you can re-flash the developer kit through SDKMaanger and the super mode will be enabled.

Hi, thank you for your reply. I have this kit, and it was originally 15W. But after I selected MAXN, there was no prompt that I needed to restart. Is this normal? After I restarted manually, the mode was indeed in MAXN. Is there another simple way to determine whether the orin nano is really in MAXN mode?

Hi,I re-flashed the machine and the result is the same as here.

Hi, are there any hardware differences between the original Orin Nano SD-card module + original Devkit, and the Orin Nano Super Devkit? In the Orin Nano module or in the carrier board?

Hi,
If you use Orin Nano developer kit with SD card slot, please use SDKManager to re-flash it. So that super mode will be enabled.If your Orin Nano module does not have SD card slot, it is sku3 and please wait for next release.
