This wiki page summarizes the new features and functionalities introduced in JetPack 6, a software development kit for NVIDIA Jetson systems. It covers aspects like kernel flexibility, Linux distribution options, compute stack updates, upgrade procedures, and upcoming features.
- JetPack 6 introduces the flexibility to run any Linux Kernel, offering a wider selection of Linux-based distributions from Jetson ecosystem partners. However, it supports only NVIDIA Jetson Orin modules and developer kits, with Xavier products remaining on JetPack 5.
- This new release allows for the use of any upstream Linux Kernel greater than 5.14. Also enhances the choices of Linux distro options on Jetson devices.
- The latest CUDA-X compute stack is included in JetPack 6, and provides the flexibility to upgrade it independently of the JetPack upgrade.
- Transitioning from JetPack 5 to JetPack 6 cannot be done via APT upgrade; instead, it requires the use of SDK Manager or manual flashing. However, APT updates are supported for minor versions within JetPack 6, such as from 6.0 to 6.1.
- While there are plans to integrate TensorRT LLM into Jetson, this feature is not currently available.
