Jetson Nano

Recommended Posts

there are reasons to abandon the operating system for the Jetson Nano board.  the operating system they offer is terrible!  the disk is divided into small portions, too little space is allocated to the root, compilers such as gcc, nvcc have an old version.  the weight of the operating system is huge.   So I decided to ask you, do you support this board?  how are you doing with the nvcc version, is it the newest?   you have a lot of experience working with similar boards, perhaps you can build a better operating system than they did.

Absence of someone having knowledge and interest in being board maintainer, I suppose.

did I understand you correctly that you want to say that I, as a user of this board, do not have enough knowledge to bring it into a normal working state suitable for programming?

No, I didn't say that. I have no clue of your knowledge or which to judge on it.

If you believe that have enough knowledge and interest in becoming this board's maintainer, pls read Armbian docs for the process, I guess team will welcome this.

It seems that unless you or someone else will step in, board's status will not change.

I would not expect that someone will be spending his time in absence of interest in this board or being paid (whom by?).

No. What he says is there is nobody maintaining this board for Armbian support and so it is in community maintained and not supported.
I've not tried the Jetson Nano in a long time. So not aware of the state of the software.

Armbian has more recent packages if you use a recent release like Noble (Ubuntu 24.04).
You can build your own Armbian images for the Nano with the flavor you want.

Вы можете создавать собственные образы Armbian для Nano с желаемой разновидностью.

Thanks for explaining.  are you using your own driver or from NVIDIA?  I'm asking because I need CUDA support. when creating your own image, which driver will be used?

If you install Armbian, there will be no Cuda installed directly, though you can manually install it.

 

Below is the output for the cuda version running on my Jetson Nano Armbian 24.11 OS:

 

$ nvcc --version

nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver Copyright (c) 2005-2022 NVIDIA Corporation Built on Wed_Sep_21_10:34:49_PDT_2022 Cuda compilation tools, release 11.8, V11.8.89 Build cuda_11.8.r11.8/compiler.31833905_0

 

I don't think it's possible to use a more current Cuda version, though could be wrong on that account.
