NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor
Install WendyOS on an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor over USB recovery
Jetson AGX Thor uses a dedicated USB recovery flash path. WendyOS flashes the Thor's QSPI and internal NVMe directly; no external drive is required.
What You Need
- NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit
- USB-C data cable for your MacBook or other development machine
- Supplied Thor power supply
- Wendy CLI installed on your development machine
USB-C cable for the left goes into the power supply and the right goes into your Macbook
Installation Steps
Connect the Cables and Enter Recovery Mode
Start with the Thor powered off. Turn it so the back faces you; you should see all of the ports. Connect the USB-C cable from your MacBook to the right USB-C port, next to HDMI.
Plug the power-supply cable into a power outlet, then connect it to the left USB-C port on the Thor.
Turn the Thor so the front faces you. You should see three small buttons and an LED light.
- Press and hold the middle button.
- Tap the right button.
- Wait a moment, then release the middle button.
You should hear the fans quiet down. The Thor is now ready to flash.
Install WendyOS
Run the installer from your terminal:
wendy installFollow the on-screen instructions. The CLI downloads a Thor flashpack, detects the Thor in USB recovery mode, and flashes QSPI plus its internal NVMe.
Boot WendyOS
After the CLI reports a successful flash, power-cycle the Thor out of recovery mode. It will boot WendyOS from internal storage; leave the data-capable USB-C cable connected to your computer.
