You can find the source code for the kernel and OS along with build instructions at Compiling the Kernel (NVIDIA DRIVE OS Linux) | NVIDIA Docs. However, please note that the source code mentioned in the guide is already installed with DRIVE OS 6.0.6 and can be found under the directory ~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/DRIVE_OS_6.0.6_SDK_Linux_DRIVE_AGX_ORIN_DEVKITS/DRIVEOS.

I assume that for this I will need a different user, no?

Currently, I don’t seem to have access to the NVIDIA online to download the docker image.

Can you confirm that you have access to the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX™ SDK Developer Program? If so, you should be able to download it by following the DRIVE OS 6.0.6 Installation Guide for NVIDIA Developers.

I get the OS image but not the source code in the SDK manager.

6

Have you successfully installed and flashed DRIVE OS 6.0.6? Could you provide your ~/.nvsdkm directory?

7

I’m waiting for the delivery of the board, wanted to start and research and develop on the OS source code prior to the delivery

You can refer to the documentation I mentioned earlier at Compiling the Kernel (NVIDIA DRIVE OS Linux) | NVIDIA Docs. Once you have installed DRIVE OS 6.0.6 (you can skip flashing if you haven’t received the devkit yet), you should be able to find the top-level directory at ~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/DRIVE_OS_6.0.6_SDK_Linux_DRIVE_AGX_ORIN_DEVKITS/DRIVEOS on your host system as mentioned in the documentation. This should help you get started with your research and development.

I’m missing something…
Before compiling the kernel I need to download the source first.

Under nvidia_sdk (after installing SDK_MANAGER 6.0.6), I ger 2 folders:

  • Jetpack_5.1_Linux
  • Jetpack_5.1_Linux_JETSON_AGX_ORIN_TARGETS

Both do not include source code just images to flash.

What am I missing?

Dear @kfiratqo1,
It looks like this host is not used for installing DRIVE OS 6.0.6 or you might have selected a custom path in sdkmanager in step 2 to install DRIVE OS on host.
You may open sdkmanager and check the installed path in step.

OK, thanks, Indeed the sdk manager was set to jetson.
