You will need the NVIDIA SDK manager for flashing your Orin AGX. In this section, you will learn about the NVIDIA SDK manager and the system requirements to use it.

The NVIDIA SDK manager is the tool that allows developers to set up the development environment, get the JetPack SDK and optionally flash the Orin AGX. The NVIDIA SDK manager runs on a host computer, not in the Orin AGX. The Host computer must have:

Ubuntu Linux x64_64 16.04, 18.04 and 20.04 or CentOS/RHEL 7.6, 8.0 and 8.2 on x86_64 system.
Internet connection.
At least 23GB of disk space.
8GB of RAM.

Get the SDK Manager

This section assumes that you are working on a host computer that meets the requirements above. The steps to get the SDK manager installed in your host computer are:

1. Download the SDK manager installer from https://developer.nvidia.com/sdkmanager_deb. You will need to log in or register into your NVIDIA developer account to download the SDK manager installer.
2. Install the SDK manager, running the following command in a terminal:

sudo apt install ./sdkmanager_[version]-[build#]_amd64.deb

For example if the file downloaded from NVIDIA is named sdkmanager_1.7.3-9053_amd64.deb, then you can use the following command to install it:

sudo apt install ./sdkmanager_1.7.3-9053_amd64.deb
