Just created a new Jetson TX1 device and install balena on it. Here are improvements to the instructions:

#### Instructions

1. Use the form on the left to configure and download balenaOS for your new device.\* Write the OS file you downloaded to an SD card. We recommend using [Etcher](http://www.etcher.io/).
2. Insert the freshly burnt SD card into the Nvidia Jetson TX1.
3. **Warning!** This will also completely erase internal storage media, so please make a backup first.
4. Press and hold for 1 second the POWER push button.
5. The device is performing a shutdown. Please wait until all LEDs are off.

_ **The red LED next to the fan power connector may stay on.** _

1. Remove the resinOS installation media.
2. Remove and re-connect power to the board.
3. Your device should appear in your application dashboard within a few minutes. Have fun!
