Storage

WendyOS requires at least 64 GB of storage. This covers the OS partitions (root A/B for Mender updates), the config partition, and enough headroom for container images and persistent data.

A larger drive is not required by WendyOS itself, but running large container images (for example, ML inference containers with bundled model weights) can consume significant space. If your workload pulls images above a few gigabytes, a 128 GB or larger drive is recommended.

The 64 GB minimum applies to removable NVME and SD card installations. On Jetson Orin Nano and Jetson AGX Orin, the mender_data partition auto-expands on first boot to fill any remaining space, so a larger drive is automatically used. Jetson AGX Thor is flashed over USB recovery to its internal storage instead of to a removable target drive.

Partition sizes at a glance

Device	Root FS (A+B)	Config	Other
Raspberry Pi (SD / NVME)	8 GB	64 MB	—
Jetson Orin Nano / AGX Orin (SD / NVME)	8 GB + 8 GB	64 MB	512 MB mender_data (auto-expands)
Jetson AGX Thor	Flashpack-managed internal partitions	N/A	Flashed over USB recovery; no external SD/NVME target

x86-64 machines (Intel & AMD)

Any 64-bit Intel or AMD PC, workstation, or server runs Wendy by installing wendy-agent on your existing Linux distribution (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, etc.) — no WendyOS image flash required. This is the same install path used for DGX Spark.
