Getting Started with reServer Industrial
reServer Industrial series offers fanless, compact, AI-enabled NVR (Network Video Recorder) servers including NVIDIA Jetson™ Orin Nano/Orin NX modules, ranging from 20 TOPS to 100 TOPS AI performance. reServer Industrial is preinstalled with Jetpack 5.1.1, simplifies development, ideal for bulding VMS (Video Management System) together with powerful AI capabilities, which brings digital transformantion across industries of smart cities, security, industrial automation, smart factories.
reServer 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.
reServer industrial has 5 RJ45 GbE ports, 4 of which are PoE PSE ports 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 remaining 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.

Hardware Overview
Full System
Carrier Board
Flash JetPack
The device will come pre-installed with JetPack 5.1.1. If there are no special requirements, you don't need to reflash the system.
reServer Industrial comes pre-installed with JetPack 5.1.1 on a 128GB SSD along with the necessary drivers. This includes SDK components such as CUDA, CUDNN and TensorRT. However, if you want to reflash Jetpack to the included SSD or to a new SSD, you can follow the steps below. Currently we only provide guidance for JP5.1.1 and we will keep updating this in the future.
Prerequisites
You need to prepare the following hardware before getting started with reServer Industrial
- reServer Industrial
- Provided Power Adapter with power cord (US version or EU version)
- Ubuntu Host PC (native or VM using VMware Workstation Player)
- USB Type-C data transmission cable
- External monitor
- HDMI cable
- Keyboard and Mouse
Enter Force Recovery Mode
Now you need to enter recovery mode on the reServer Industrial board in order to flash the device. Connect a USB Type-C cable between DEVICE port and your PC. Use a pin and insert into the REC hole to press the recovery button and while holding this, connect the included 2-Pin Terminal block power connector to the power connector on the board (make sure to use the 2 screws to screw the terminal in place) and connect the included power adapter with a power cord to turn on the board
Make sure you power on the device while holding the RECOVERY button or otherwise it will not enter recovery mode
On the Ubuntu host PC, open a Terminal window and enter the command lsusb. If the returned content has one of the following outputs according to the Jetson SoM you use, then the board is in force recovery mode.

- The image files from both Download1 and Download2 are the same. You can choose the link with the faster download speed.
- 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_reserver-orin-industrial
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

| Jetson Orin Nano 4GB | Download |
- Step 2: Move the downloaded peripheral drivers into the same folder with Linux_For_Tegra directory
- Step 3: Extract the downloaded driver .zip file. Here we additionally install the unzip package which is needed to decompress the .zip file
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
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 reserver-orin-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
