Here, we will show you how to flash Jetpack to an NVMe SSD connected to the Eagle-201.
Eagle-201 series comes with JetPack 6.2 pre-installed on the included NVMe SSD, so that you do not need to flash it. However, if you want to flash it again with JetPack, you can follow this guide.
We recommend that you use physical ubuntu host devices instead of virtual machines. Please refer to the table below to prepare the host machine.
JetPack Version | Ubuntu Version (Host Computer) | ||
18.04 | 20.04 | 22.04 | |
JetPack 5.x | ✅ | ✅ | |
JetPack 6.x | ✅ | ✅ |
Step-by-Step
Step 1. Use a jumper wire to connect the FC REC pin and the GND pin.
Button Header | Description | Button Header | Description |
---|---|---|---|
1 | PWR BTN | 9 | UART TXD |
2 | GND | 10 | UART RXD |
3 | FC REC | 11 | LED + |
4 | GND | 12 | LED - |
5 | SYS RET | 13 | 3V3 |
6 | GND | 14 | GND |
7 | AUTO ON | 15 | CAN_RX |
8 | DISABLE | 16 | CAN_TX |
Step 2. Power up the Eagle-201 by connecting the cable from the power adapter and connect the board with the Ubuntu host PC with a USB Type-C data transmission cable
Step 3. On the Linux host PC, open a Terminal window and enter the command lsusb
. If the returned content has one of the following outputs according to the Jetson SoM you use, then the board is in force recovery mode.
The tutorial supports upgrading SUPER Mode from Jetson Orin official kit and Tanna TechBiz Eagle - 201 for NVIDIA® Jetson Orin Nano™/ NX.

:
The Tanna TechBiz Eagle - 201 carrier board is successfully connected to the Ubuntu system, and the lsusb
command will show the NVIDIA Corp. APX
information:
Create a New Folder & Copy this download two Files in same Folder then open the terminal:
tar xf Jetson_Linux_R36.4.3_aarch64.tbz2 sudo tar xpf Tegra_Linux_Sample-Root-Filesystem_R36.4.3_aarch64.tbz2 -C Linux_for_Tegra/rootfs/ cd Linux_for_Tegra/ sudo ./apply_binaries.sh sudo ./tools/l4t_flash_prerequisites.sh

Note: Both Jetson Orin Nano and Jetson Orin NX can use the same command to burn the system to the SSD
After the system is successfully burned, disconnect the Tanna TechBiz Eagle - 201 power supply (disconnect the DC power adapter and Type-C data cable), and then unplug the jumper cap that shorts FC REC and GND under the Tanna TechBiz Eagle - 201 board; after confirming that the above operations are completed, reconnect the DC power adapter and DP data cable (connect to the display) to start the system and connect keybord and mouse.
When you boot the first time, the Tanna TechBiz Eagle - 201 board will take you through some initial setup,
including: Review and accept NVIDIA Jetson software End User License Agreement.
Select the system language.
Select the keyboard layout.
Select the time zone.
Create a username, password, and computer name. Be sure to select “Log in automatically.”
Here is the screen you should see now.
Install Chromium Browser and click Continue.
Your Nvidia will automatically reboot to the Ubuntu desktop.
Here some commands for the checking of the BSP (JetPack) Version Installation on Eagle - 201
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo -H pip3 install -U jetson-stats
sudo jtop
snap install chromium
snap download snapd --revision=24724
sudo snap ack snapd_24724.assert
sudo snap install snapd_24724.snap
sudo snap refresh --hold snapd
Next we will go through the tutorial about installing the system via NVIDIA SDK Manager. The an NVIDIA SDK Manager all-in-one tool that bundles developer software and provides an end-to-end development environment setup solution for NVIDIA SDKs. Thus, it is recommanded for the beginners.
We need to open the browser on the Linux Host PC and download the NVIDIA SDK Manager from the NVIDIA official website.
On the Linux host PC screen, we can right click the mouse and open a Terminal. Then we can type the command below to start the SDK Manager:
sdkmanager
The first time you use NVIDIA SDK Manager, a web page will pop up prompting you to log in with your previously registered NVIDIA account.
After logging in, you will be taken to the first screen where the first step of installing. Since we have already connected Tanna TechBiz Eagle-201, there will be a window pop up to let you select the hardware device.
the Tanna TechBiz Eagle-201 has equipped with NVIDIA Jetson Nano 8GB module, so we can choose the first one.
There are more selections for you to choose in the first screen:
If you only need to install the system, you can uncheck the Jetson Runtime Components & Check I accept the terms and conditions of the license agreements.
Select Continue to proceed to the next step.
Before the installation begins, SDK Manager prompts you to enter your sudo
password.
After a while, we will be asked to set up the new system for our Tanna TechBiz Eagle-201. Since we manually force into recovery mode.
Meanwhile, we choose the default Pre-Config.
After that, we need to enter the name and password of our new Jetson system to our Tanna TechBiz Eagle-201, it is set by yourself.
When ready, click Flash
to continue.
The display shows the progress of the download and installation of the software. Please wait patiently for the installation to complete.
In this case, we can pull out the jumper and restart the Tanna TechBiz Eagle-201. Then we need to connect the Tanna TechBiz Eagle-201 to a monitor via DP & Keyboard amd Moush ,enter the password you entered in step 3 (SDK Manager), and log in to the main interface.
!!!Attention Be sure to unplug the jumper and exit force recovery mode before re-powering into the system.
Your Nvidia will automatically reboot to the Ubuntu desktop.
