jetson-flash

A set of tools that allows users to flash balenaOS on supported Jetson devices.

About

Jetson Flash will extract the balenaOS image from a downloaded provisioned image (such as from balenaCloud) and then flash that image to a Jetson board connected to a host PC via USB.

This tool invokes NVIDIA’s proprietary software to properly partition the boot media (such as eMMC) and place the required balenaOS software in the necessary location to make it bootable. Even on Jetson boards without eMMC, this tool may be necessary to initially flash balenaOS because of the way JetPack uses onboard QSPI flash memory for the bootloader. (In those cases, this tool can write to the QSPI so the device will be able to boot balenaOS from the SD card.)
