NVIDIA provides an easier way to install the system for the Orin development kit. The following image presents two operational processes:
-
Upper path: Directly use the L4T BSP Image image pre-installed when factory shipped;
-
Lower path: Use the SDK Manager on a PC to flash the operating system.
Now, just connect a mouse, keyboard, and DP (Display Port) monitor to the Orin, and you can use it. If you do not have a direct DP monitor at hand, some brands of DP to VGA adapters will also work.
After powering on, you will enter the “Step 1. Ubuntu setup (oem-config)” phase, where you will perform the following 9 steps of system configuration:
1. Accept the license: Click the box to the left of “I accept the terms of these licenses” in the lower left corner, then click the “Continue” button in the lower right corner to proceed;
2. Select the “Language” type: It is recommended not to choose Chinese at this stage, just click the “Continue” button in the lower right corner to proceed;
3. Choose “Keyboard Layout”: Just click the “Continue” button in the lower right corner to proceed;
4. Connect to a WIFI hotspot: You can choose a hotspot based on your actual situation, or skip connecting now and connect later after entering the system, then click “Continue” in the lower right to proceed;
5. Select “Region”: Click “China” in the image, and the below area will update to “Shanghai”, then click “Continue” in the lower right to proceed;
6. Configure username and password: This step is crucial because there are no preset values, so you need to enter the username (Your Name), device name (Your computer’s name), and password (Choose a password), then click “Continue” in the lower right to proceed;
7. Configure disk space: The default is the maximum available space, it is recommended not to change it, then click “Continue” in the lower right to proceed;
8. Select the working (power) mode: This part is easy to switch later, so it is fine to accept the default value (MAXN-Default), then click “Continue” in the lower right to proceed;
9. Whether to install the Chromium browser: Accept the default value (install), then click “Continue” in the lower right to proceed;
Next, the system will execute “System Configuration” based on the previous selections, as shown in the following two images.
After completing the system configuration, it will automatically restart, then enter the Ubuntu 20.04 L4T (Linux for Tegra) desktop operating system. As with all Ubuntu operating systems, the steps required for the first login are to select “Next” and you will see the familiar standard Ubuntu desktop.
This completes the operating system configuration, but so far, the related development environment, including the CUDA toolkit, cuDNN/TensorRT library, OpenCV vision library, etc., has not been installed yet. Therefore, the next step is to install a complete development environment for the Orin development kit.
