[Question] Support for Jetson Orin Nano Super based on NVIDIA Ampere

[mmalyska]

I see the artifacts are build for Tegra architecture. Does it also support Ampere one?

Especially I'm interested in running it on not default carrier board from SeeedStudio, j401. https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/reComputer_J4012_Flash_Jetpack/

Just to note something. The newest Jetson in version from 6.X uses UEFI instead u-boot. Hence I cannot find how to make the support using this repository.

If it's UEFI, and has proper support, you should be able to simply boot generic metal Talos arm64 image there.

All this repo is about supporting broken in terms of proper boot environment SBCs.

[mmalyska]

But the generic metal Talos image won't support GPU as all the drivers are in the custom made system(that differ on each carrier board).
Also what I only have is the image of Ubuntu... https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/reComputer_J4012_Flash_Jetpack/#flash-the-device-step-by-step that tells me to flash it on the drive.

I don't know anything about this particular board, all I said is that if it actually has UEFI support (which what you posted above contradicts), you can use generic metal image. If you need NVDIAI drivers, add them at the https://factory.talos.dev/.

[mmalyska]

But from I can see in the boot sequence diagram it uses uefi https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r36.2/DeveloperGuide/AR/BootArchitecture/JetsonOrinSeriesBootFlow.html

[smira]

I don't think we can solve this issue in the ticket, you have the hardware (as I might assume), and we don't.

So just go straight to Image Factory, pick Bare-Metal -> arm64, pick the boot method that works for you, and see if it works.

UEFI machines can literally boot from a FAT32 stick with contents of the ISO for example.

[mmalyska]

The only thing I have using the default Bare-metal -> arm64 image is this during boot and it is stuck forever.

@smira I've successfully installed the system using UEFI. Now the problem are drivers and missing access to GPU.
I'm trying now to build pkg with required drivers in siderolabs/pkgs#1166 so I can create extension to be used on Jetson Orin machines.
