In this section, you are going to learn about the software development kits available for Orin AGX. An SDK is the most convenient and fast way to build software for an embedded system. It provides a set of tools to compile the kernel, libraries, and applications required for your project. Jetson developers have two options: JetPack and Yocto.

JetPack

JetPack is the official SDK offered by NVIDIA to develop for the Jetson family of platforms, including Jetson Orin. It provides the easiest way to get started with Jetson development by combining the operating system, developer tools, and AI libraries into a single package.

With JetPack you can:

• Build and flash OS components to your Jetson Developer Kit.
• Install developer tools both on the host PC and on the Jetson board.
• Access NVIDIA libraries, APIs, and example applications.
• Follow official documentation and workflows to accelerate development.

Below are the JetPack releases covered in this documentation.

JetPack 6.1

Released in May 2024, JetPack 6.1 is based on L4T r36.4 and introduces the latest kernel, BSP, and CUDA stack for Jetson Orin devices. This version improves build workflows, includes updated flashing tools, and delivers long-term platform updates.

See the detailed section: JetPack 6.1 Documentation.

JetPack 5.0.2

Released in May 2022, JetPack 5.0.2 is based on L4T r35.1 and was the first long-term supported release for Jetson Orin. It introduced the kernel compilation workflow for Orin and provided stable BSP sources that developers can rebuild and customize.

See the detailed section: JetPack 5.0.2 Documentation.

Yocto

It's an open-source project comprising a collection of tools and processes that allow developers to create custom Linux systems. The Yocto community created a layer that allows developers to create custom images for the Jetson boards, visit our Yocto Support for NVIDIA Jetson Platforms wiki to learn more.
