JetPack is the official Software Development Kit (SDK) provided by NVIDIA for the Jetson family of devices, and it continues to evolve with each release to support the latest hardware and software features. JetPack 6.1 delivers extended support for the Jetson Orin NX platform, offering developers an optimized environment to take full advantage of the Orin NX’s advanced processing power and AI capabilities. More than a simple installer, JetPack provides a comprehensive suite of libraries, tools, and utilities that enable you to build, customize, and deploy applications efficiently on Jetson hardware. With JetPack 6.1, developers can integrate deep learning, computer vision, multimedia processing, and high-performance I/O into their workflows more seamlessly than ever before.

One of the main advantages of JetPack 6.1 is its integration with the most recent releases of NVIDIA’s AI acceleration frameworks, such as CUDA, cuDNN, and TensorRT. This ensures that workloads on Jetson remain aligned with the latest standards in performance optimization while also benefiting from continual updates. For developers working with multimedia, JetPack 6.1 includes updated APIs and GStreamer support, enabling robust pipelines for handling image processing, video encoding, and decoding. Combined, these features make JetPack suitable for a wide range of applications — from robotics and autonomous machines to edge AI systems and multimedia platforms.

In this section, you will learn how to get started with JetPack 6.1 through practical guides and resources:

• Getting Started: explains how to install the SDK and flash a pre-built system image to your Jetson board using the graphical installer, making it the easiest entry point for beginners and first-time users.

• Components: provides an overview of what is included in JetPack 6.1. This version integrates the latest releases of CUDA, cuDNN, TensorRT, multimedia APIs, and GStreamer, ensuring access to state-of-the-art acceleration for AI and video workloads.

• Compiling Source Code: demonstrates how to build JetPack 6.1 components from source, offering full control and customization of the system.

• Flashing the Board from Cmdline: walks you through flashing your device using command-line tools, providing more flexibility and automation compared to the GUI installer.

Whether you are a beginner just getting started or an advanced developer working on complex AI-powered projects, JetPack 6.1 provides the foundation and flexibility required to create production-ready applications on the Jetson platform.
