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.

Different Methods of Flashing
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
Download System Image
- Step 1: Download the system image to your Ubuntu PC corresponding to the board you are using
| Device | Image Link | JetPack Version | L4T Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| reComputer Industrial J4012 | Download | 5.1.1 | 35.3.1 |
| reComputer Industrial J4011 | Download | ||
| reComputer Industrial J3011 | Download | ||
| reComputer Industrial J3010 | Download | ||
| reComputer Industrial J2012 | Download | ||
| reComputer Industrial J2011 | Download |
The source code for the above images can be found here
- Step 2: Extract the generated file
tar -xvf <file_name>.tar.gz
Flash to Jetson
- Step 1: Navigate to the extracted file from before and execute the flash command as follows
cd mfi_p3509-a02+p3767-0000
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 2: 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
tar xf jetson_linux_r35.3.1_aarch64.tbz2
sudo tar xpf tegra_linux_sample-root-filesystem_r35.3.1_aarch64.tbz2 -C Linux_for_Tegra/rootfs/
cd Linux_for_Tegra/
sudo ./apply_binaries.sh
sudo ./tools/l4t_flash_prerequisites.sh
Download and Prepare Drivers
- Step 1: Download the driver files to your Ubuntu PC corresponding to the board you are using
| Jetson Module | Download Link | JetPack Version | L4T Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jetson Orin NX 8GB/ 16GB, Orin Nano 8GB | Download | 5.1.1 | 35.3.1 |

sudo apt install unzip
sudo unzip xxxx.zip # Replace xxxx with the driver file name
Here it will ask whether to replace the files. Type A and press ENTER to replace the necessary files
Flash to Jetson
- Step 1: Navigate to the Linux_for_Tegra directory and execute the flash command as follows
cd Linux_for_Tegra
# For Orin NX and Orin Nano
sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_nvme.xml -S 80GiB -p "-c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml --no-systemimg" --network usb0 recomputer-orin-industrial external
# For Xavier NX
sudo ADDITIONAL_DTB_OVERLAY_OPT="BootOrderNvme.dtbo" ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_nvme.xml -S 80GiB -p "-c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_l4t_t194_qspi_p3668.xml --no-systemimg" --network usb0 recomputer-xavier-nx-industrial external
Now it will start to flash the system image to the board. If the flashing is successful, you will see the below output
- Step 2: 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 3: 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
