    SDK Manager. 2. If you are running a VPN on your host system, log off before flashing the Clara AGX Developer Kit. 3. Using a VM as your host machine isn’t officially supported, but it is possible with certain VMs such as VMWare Workstation 16 running Ubuntu 18.04.
  • Page 13: Switching Between Igpu And Dgpu

    Switching between iGPU and dGPU The Clara AGX Developer Kit can use either the Xavier AGX module GPU (iGPU, – integrated GPU) or the RTX6000 add-in card GPU (dGPU, – discrete GPU). You can only use one type of GPU at a time.
  • Page 14 At this point the Ubuntu desktop will be output via DisplayPort on the dGPU, so the display cable must be switched from the onboard HDMI (port 10) to DisplayPort (port 4) on the dGPU. Note: If the output connection isn’t switched before the Clara AGX Developer Kit finishes rebooting, the terminal screen will hang during booting.
  • Page 15: Reinstalling Optional Sdk Packages

    $ sudo apt install -y ./deepstream-6.1_6.1.0-1_arm64.deb Enabling the HDMI Input The Clara AGX Developer Kit includes an HDMI input (port 11), which is connected internally to the Jetson CSI interface. Holopack does not configure this CSI interface by default to enable the HDMI input board, so this configuration must be done manually one time after Holopack is flashed onto the device.

  • Page 17: Setting Up Ssd Storage

    You may need to recompile or rebuild these persistent objects to restore runtime compatibility with the system. The Clara AGX Developer Kit includes a pre-installed 250GB m2 solid-state drive (SSD), but this drive is not partitioned or mounted by default. This section outlines the steps that you should follow after the initial SDK installation in order to partition and format the drive for use.
  • Page 18: Mount The Partition

    To mount the partition immediately without rebooting instead, use the mount command (and df to verify the mount): $ sudo mount -a $ df -h /dev/sda1 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 229G 5.6M 229G 0% /media/m2 Clara AGX Developer Kit User Guide Version 1.9 | 15...
