Jetson NX - Jetpack 5.0 balena image

We would like to update some devices to the latest JetPack 5.0.1 (based in Ubuntu 20.04) and DeepStream SDK 6.1

Is the Jetpack 5.0 support planned in Balena roadmap? If yes, can you please share the ETA?

Thank you!

We have an issue you can track here: L4T 34.1 requested for Xavier boards · Issue #317 · balena-os/balena-jetson · GitHub

But we are in the process of releasing L4T32.7.1 support for all device images, as of right now we have released that for the Jetson Nano devices. After all images are released on L4T 32.7.1 we can look into L4T 34.1 support but currently we cannot provide a timeline for that.

Also, note: Jetson Software Roadmap for 2H-2021 and 2022 - Jetson TX2 - NVIDIA Developer Forums

Sadly JetPack 5 will not be available on Jetson Nano, Jetson Nano 2GB, Jetson TX1, and Jetson TX2 series (Jetson TX2 NX, Jetson TX2, Jetson TX2 4GB and Jetson TX2i). The last JetPack revision will stay at 4.x and get security updates from that point on. Only newer platforms like Xavier NX etc will get the latest and greatest version (see also here: Jetson Linux Archive | NVIDIA Developer )
