Using Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit SD Card image

Prepare microSD Card

To boot up your Jetson Xavier NX board you will need to prepare a microSD card with a bootable image. NVIDIA provides a prebuilt image that you can download from: Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit SD Card Image

Once downloaded the image you need to write it to your microSD by following the instructions bellow:

1. Insert the microSD card to your computer and identify the corresponding device:

dmesg | tail | awk '$3 == "sd" {print}'

2. Flash the downloaded image, change /dev/sdx to your corresponding device:

#Change the path if you download the image to another location
unzip ~/Downloads/jetson-nx-developer-kit-sd-card-image.zip | sudo dd of=/dev/sdx bs=1M status=progress

3. Remove microSD from your computer

sudo eject /dev/sdx
