Upgrade from ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 on Jetson Orin

[jche2024]

Hi,

I got an Orin running on ubuntu 20.04 and would like to upgrade it to 22.04. I found this instruction, but it was a bit confusing to follow. Here are my questions:

1. In general, what is the difference to install ubuntu 22.04 on a common desktop/laptop and on an embeded system like Jetson Orin? (Is that just emebeded system might need a very specific “version” of the ubuntu iso? or is there more differences? )

2. In the instruction, which steps should be done on the host side and which should be done on the device (Orin) side?

3. What should I expect when Jetson Orin run into recovery mode? I connected my laptop with Orin and tried “lsusb” command on my laptop, but did not see the Orin.

Thanks for the help! Please let me know if there is a more detailed instruction.

Hi,
Do you use AGX Orin developer kit? If yes, you can install SDKManager on a Ubuntu host PC and re-flash the system image through it.

Install Jetson Software with SDK Manager — SDK Manager 2.1.0 documentation

If the device is in recovery mode, the lsusb command shows:

Bus 001 Device 093: ID 0955:7023 NVIDIA Corp.

Thanks for your reply. Now I’ve installed the SDK manager on my host, and I can see the AGX Orin dev kit from my host.

Just one more question to confirm. If we use the SDK manager to flash the device, the operation system (on the Orin device) will simply follow the system configuration of the host. Is that correct?

Thanks again for the help!

Hi,
By default the rootfs is Ubuntu desktop. You can refer to the section to customize rootfs:
