Update to Cuda 12.2

[enrique.aaron]

We need to update the cuda running on our Xavier NX modules (Jetson Linux 35.3.1) to cuda 12.2, but we need to do it before flashing, we don´t want to update each device after flashing it.

How can we do it.

Not sure for CUDA 12.2… Does your host has CUDA 12.2 installed and running ?

Hi Honey,

We updated the Xavier NX with Jetson 35.3.1 successfully to Cuda 12.2. but the upgrade was made directly into the device, our intention is to do it before flashing. it will save us a lot of time per each device.

My understanding would be that you could clone the updated jetson rootfs and then use that for flashing.
There might be better options such as copying these packages into default rootfs on host before flashing and having these installed by first boot.
Someone more skilled with various cloning/flashing options may better help.

Hi Honey,

We can not just clone the image, because we need to prepare each individual device with specific information on it.

And yes, you are right, the best should be to install those packages to rootfs, BEFORE flashing. This is exactly the point, how can we do it.

Best,
Enrique.

Hi AastaLLL,

The problem is not getting the software or installing it on the Xavier NX, our problem is installing it before flashing.

Thanks,

Enrique.

Hi,

https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r35.3.1/DeveloperGuide/text/SD/FlashingSupport.html?#to-clone-a-jetson-device-and-flash

Please check the above for the image cloning document.
You can install the CUDA package on a device and then clone the image with the above document for other flashings.

Thanks.
