Instructions for flashing the Nvidia Jetson Xavier AGX
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# Flashing the Nvidia Jetson Xavier NGX
# Good luck, Nvidia - as usual - did not make this easy for anyone.
# (this is a massive pain on non-ubuntu hosts).
#
# 1. Install these packages
#
# $ sudo pacman -S qemu-user-static qemu-user-binfmt
#
# 2. Download the SDK manager docker image from here.
# Ensure you pick Ubuntu 20.04. Jetson does not support 22.04 yet.
#
# https://developer.nvidia.com/drive/sdk-manager
#
# 3. Load and tag the docker image
#
# $ docker load -i ./sdkmanager-1.9.1.10844-Ubuntu_22.04_docker.tar.gz
# $ docker tag sdkmanager:1.9.1.10844-Ubuntu_20.04 sdkmanager:20.04
#
# 4. Put the Jetson in force recovery mode:
#
# A. Power off the Jetson, but keep the power connected.
#
# B. Connect the front (side with the Nvidia logo) USB-C to PC.
#
# C. Hold down the force recovery button (middle of 3), press and release
# the power button, release the center button (this goes against Nvidia
# documentation, but works for me).
#
# 5. Run this script and follow the on-screen information.
#
# Additional information:
# https://docs.nvidia.com/sdk-manager/sdkm-command-line-install/index.html
