So a software route is the only option. NXP themselves provide a simple toolkit (SoftISP), but it is rather limited …
Diving into the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Boot Process
The NVIDIA Jetson has become one of the platforms of choice for experimenting with Vision based AI, Robotics, Machine learning and a host of other subjects. It’s marriage of high performance Arm cores with NVIDIA’s own advanced GPU engines makes it both incredibly powerful and very accessible. The Jetson Nano Developer Kit is one of …
