¶ the Firmware (if needed)

Your Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit may be ready to run JetPack 6 by having the latest firmware ("Jetson UEFI firmware" on QSPI-NOR flash memory) flashed at the factory.

If this isn’t the case, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest firmware.

You can now upgrade to the latest firmware on Jetson without the need for a host Ubuntu PC: follow the steps in this page to check if your Jetson Orin Nano developer kit has the latest firmware, and update it using an SD card containing JetPack 5. follow instructions here >

¶Write Image to the microSD Card

To prepare your microSD card, you’ll need a computer with Internet connection and the ability to read and write SD cards, either via a built-in SD card slot or adapter.

• Download the Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit SD Card image from JetPack SDK Page , and note where it was saved on the computer.
• Write the image to your microSD card by following the instructions below according to the type of computer you are using: Windows, Mac, or Linux.
