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
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:
sudo wendy os 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.
Discover Your Device
Wait 1-2 minutes for WendyOS to boot, then run:
