Booting the Jetson Orin Developer Kit

The Orin developer kit comes pre-flashed and ready to boot (if you wish to build and flash the OS by yourself, check our JetPack SDK section). These are the steps to boot your Jetson Orin AGX developer kit for the first time:

  1. Connect an external monitor to the carrier board’s Display Port (J). The Display Port cable is not provided with the developer kit box.
  2. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the USB-A ports (I).
  3. Connect the power supply (included in the developer kit box) to USB-C port F.

After this, you should see a white LED (D) turn on, and the monitor will show a window to create your login credentials and connect to WiFi.
