Summary
The JETSON-ORIN-IO-BASE-B is a Waveshare base board for the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano and Orin NX modules. It provides two Ethernet ports, a USB-C data port, and DC power via a round connector. The guide covers booting with or without a display, firmware updates to the “Super” versions, and system flashing via SDK Manager or script.

Technical overview
- Compatibility: The board accepts the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano (8 GB/16 GB) and Jetson Orin NX modules.
- Connectors: Two Ethernet ports, USB-C for data transfer, and a round DC power input; a power adapter is required separately.
- Default login: Without pre-set credentials, users log in via serial port using PuTTY; when credentials are pre-installed, both username and password default to “jetson”.
- Firmware upgrade to Super: Official kits can be updated directly to JetPack 6.1 (rev1); core modules and Waveshare kits require the official upgrade firmware from NVIDIA starting in January.
- Flashing prerequisites: Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 as host or VM; enter recovery mode by shorting FC REC and GND under the module, then connect via USB data cable.
- Two installation paths: Through the SDK Manager (interactive) or via script using L4T resources from the download center.
- Script commands cover downloading and extracting L4T packages, installing dependencies, optionally presetting username/password, and flashing to NVMe or TF card.
- After flashing: Remove the jumper, connect a monitor, and reboot; with preconfig the system boots straight into the desktop environment.
- SDK installation on the board: Use “sudo apt-get update” and “sudo apt-get install nvidia-jetpack” to install SDK components later.
- Fan control: With jetson-stats (“jtop”), fan speed can be adjusted in the manual profile.

Notes and version constraints
- The exact availability of the official NVIDIA upgrade firmware for the “Super” version depends on its release timing (from January).
- The URLs listed in the source text are examples of resource packages; actual versions may change.
- Flashing requires a working Ubuntu host or VM; virtual machines need extra configuration steps during the flash process.
- Selecting the wrong development board type in SDK Manager can lead to a faulty flash.
- Adjusting fan speed via jtop presupposes a successful installation of jetson-stats.
