Now nanosaur is almost done! You need only to setup the MicroSD card and start your robot.

Format Micro SD

Go on NVIDIA Jetpack webpage and download the latest SD Card Image for your NVIDIA Jetson.

:warning: WARNING Please download the right version for your NVIDIA Jetson 2Gb or 4Gb

  1. Download NVIDIA Jetpack 4.6.1
  2. Download, install, and launch Etcher
  3. Click “Select image” and choose the zipped image file downloaded earlier.
  4. Insert your microSD card.
  5. If you have no other external drives attached, Etcher will automatically select the microSD card as target device. Otherwise, click “Select drive” and choose the correct device.
  6. Click “Flash!”

:bulb: Hint For this, we’ll assume you’ve set up your Jetson Nano using the online Getting Started guide.
