how to upgrade jetpack on jetson tx2


I'm using Jetson TX2.

Current jetpack version : 4.5-b129

I was following update tutorial from nvidia website (https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/jetpack/install-jetpack/index.html).

I did:

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install --fix-broken -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite"

Last command feedback:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  activity-log-manager libgeonames-common libgeonames0
  libnm-gtk0 libtimezonemap-data libtimezonemap1
  libunity-control-center1 vulkan-utils
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

I'm using sudo apt-cache show nvidia-jetpack to check jetpack version and it's still the same (4.5-b129)


Solution

  • Ok, there was note, that I thought is only for 5.0.X users:

    To upgrade from JetPack 5.0/5.0.1 Developer Preview, first edit etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-l4t-apt-source.list

    I edited nvidia-l4t-apt-source.list file from:

    deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common r31.5 main
    deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/t186 r31.5 main
    

    to:

    deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common r32.7 main
    deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/t186 r32.7 main
    

    and it upgraded my Jetpack to 4.6.1. Unfortunately nvidia does not support Jetpack 5.X.X on TX2 series
