Installation Steps
Prepare the NVMe SSD
Connect the NVMe SSD to an NVMe SSD to USB-C adapter, then connect the adapter to your computer.
On macOS, allow the adapter when the permission dialog appears.
Install WendyOS
Run the installer:
wendy install
Select Jetson Orin Nano, then select the attached NVMe drive. WendyOS downloads to the drive, and you'll enter your administrator password to write the image.
The CLI also offers optional first-boot provisioning for WiFi, critical updates, and Wendy Cloud enrollment. See wendy install for more.
Install the NVMe SSD
Remove the NVMe SSD from your computer and insert it into the Jetson's M.2 slot.
Connect and Power On
Connect the Jetson to your computer using the data-capable USB-C port, then connect the supplied power supply to a power outlet and the Jetson.
Discover Your Device
Wait 1-2 minutes for WendyOS to boot, then run:
wendy discover
Your Jetson is ready for development. See Discovering Devices to learn more.
