BalenaOS support for NVIDIA Jetson Orin-NX chipset

Hi @kshitiz,

Thanks for asking about support for the Orin NX! Our intent is to support all of the NVIDIA Jetson DevKits, since that product line is so unique and also a manageable number of SKUs.

That said, we need physical access to these devices to onboard them to balena and getting ahold of hardware, particularly with the supply chain issues lately, has been a bit tricky. For instance, we are wanting to support the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin as well (see another thread here), however the device is heavily backordered at the moment so we can’t obtain one to develop the image on.

If you happen to have a project that allows you early access to the device and you’d be willing to send us one, that could help us onboard it a bit sooner. Otherwise, we will support it as soon as a) we can get our hands on supply and b) the other hardware ahead of it in queue for new device support is completed.

I hope that helps, but please let us know if you have more questions!
