Getting Started with reComputer Industrial
reComputer industrial series offers full systems including NVIDIA Jetson™ Xavier NX/ Orin Nano/Orin NX/ modules, ranging from 20 TOPS to 100 TOPS AI performance. Preinstalled with Jetpack 5.1.1, reComputer industrial simplifies development, ideal for bulding applications of video analytics, object detection, natural language processing, medical imaging, and robots, which brings digital transformantion across industries of smart cities, security, industrial automation, smart factories.
reComputer industrial comes with a passive heatsink and a fanless design, making it ideal for use in demanding environments. The passive heatsink allows for efficient cooling without the need for a fan, reducing the risk of component failure due to dust or other contaminants. The fanless design also reduces noise levels and power consumption, making it suitable for use in noise-sensitive environments and minimizing energy costs.
reComputer industrial has 2 RJ45 GbE ports, one of which is a PoE PSE port for providing power over Ethernet to devices like IP cameras. This eliminates the need for a separate power source and makes it easier to deploy network devices in areas without readily available power outlets. The other GbE port is used to connect to a network switch or router, enabling communication with other devices on the network and access to the Internet.

Flash to Jetson
- Jetpack 5.1.1
- Jetpack6.0
Here we offer 2 different methods of flashing.
- Download the entire system image we have prepared which includes NVIDIA JetPack, hardware periheral drivers and flash to device
- Download official NVIDIA L4T, use the included hardware periheral drivers and flash to device
The first method download is around 14GB and the second method download is about 3GB.
- Method 1
- Method 2
- Step 1: Download the system image to your Ubuntu PC corresponding to the board you are using

* The image files from both Download1 and Download2 are the same. You can choose the link with the faster download speed.
The source code for the above images can be found here
- Step 2: Extract the generated file
sudo tar -xvf <file_name>.tar.gz
- Step 3: Navigate to the extracted file from before and execute the flash command as follows
cd mfi_xxxx
sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --flash-only --massflash 1 --network usb0 --showlogs
Now it will start to flash the system image to the board. If the flashing is successful, you will see the below output
- Step 4: Connect the board to a display using the HDMI connector on the board and finish the initial configuration setup
After that, the board will reboot and will be ready to use!
Download and Prepare NVIDIA L4T and rootfs
wget https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/embedded/l4t/r35_release_v3.1/release/jetson_linux_r35.3.1_aarch64.tbz2
wget https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/embedded/l4t/r35_release_v3.1/release/tegra_linux_sample-root-filesystem_r35.3.1_aarch64.tbz2

Now it will start to flash the system image to the board. If the flashing is successful, you will see the below output
- Step 5: Connect the board to a display using the HDMI connector on the board and finish the initial configuration setup
After that, the board will reboot and you will see the following
- Step 6: Open a terminal window inside the device, execute the following, the device will reboot and ready to use!
systemctl disable nvgetty.service
sudo depmod -a
sudo reboot
Futhermore, if you want to install SDK components such as CUDA, cuDNN, TensorRT, please execute the following
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-jetpack -y
