- **balena CLI version:** e.g. 11.28.4
- **Operating system version:** MacOSX 10.14.6
- **32/64 bit OS and processor:** 64-bit, 3.1 Ghz Intel Core i5
- **Install method:** MacOSX executable installer

I’m trying out balena for the jetson nano and just following your steps on “Getting Started” but I can’t seem to hit a roadblock when configuring the base image:

Unsupported filesystem when `sudo balena local configure ~/Downloads/balena.img`

Expected:

```auto
$ sudo balena local configure ~/Downloads/balena.img
? Network SSID I_Love_Unicorns
? Network Key superSecretPassword
? Do you want to set advanced settings? Yes
? Device Hostname mydevice
? Do you want to enable persistent logging? no
Done!

```

Outcome:

```auto
Unsupported filesystem.

Additional information may be available by setting a DEBUG=1 environment
variable: "set DEBUG=1" on a Windows command prompt, "$env:DEBUG = 1" on
powershell, or "export DEBUG=1" on Linux or macOS.

For CLI bug reports or feature requests, have a look at the GitHub issues or
create a new one at: https://github.com/balena-io/balena-cli/issues/

```

Setting DEBUG=1 via `export DEBUG=1` did not reveal any more verbose error logs.

Can someone point out what is going wrong?

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. I can confirm that I am getting the same error when downloading the OS image from [https://www.balena.io/os/#download](https://www.balena.io/os/#download) and try to configure it. We will look into this and get back to you. In the meantime, is there a reason you are not using balenaCloud? You can download a pre-configured image from the dashboard which will mitigate the current issue you are seeing with the CLI.

Hi,

I’m afraid I have some bad news, the jetson nano is currently not supported to be configured like this, because it requires a very specific partition layout. We do however have a plan to make this work and I’ve attached this thread to our internal issue for this, so we can update this thread once it is fixed.

I mean, I virtually just heard of the balena ecosystem and was looking to see if I could get something going. Didn’t expect to hit a roadblock while following “Getting started” documentation: [https://www.balena.io/os/docs/jetson-nano/getting-started/](https://www.balena.io/os/docs/jetson-nano/getting-started/)

This was the post that caught my eye:

> I am currently working on a Dockerfile that I can use as a base image for a balena-based Python project using the Jetson Nano board. The image should support TensorRT so that we can do hardware-accelerated AI inference at the edge. The latest Dockerfile can be found here: [https://gitlab.com/p.d.boef/tensorrt-balena/blob/master/Dockerfile.tensorrt](https://gitlab.com/p.d.boef/tensorrt-balena/blob/master/Dockerfile.tensorrt). Instructions to build the image can be found in the root of this repository. I am sharing this Dockerfile because I think it may be useful for other …

I’ll try out balenaCloud, although I’m now not quite sure how everything comes together

Hello,  
We have an issue on `balena-cli` for tracking this: [https://github.com/balena-io/balena-cli/issues/1632](https://github.com/balena-io/balena-cli/issues/1632) .  
You can work around this by downloading an already configured disk image from the dashboard.

Hi, just letting you know that this issue has been resolved in CLI release 12.44.15 or later.
