🚀 NVIDIA Jetson Builder Container Image

A ready-to-use container image for flashing and customizing NVIDIA Jetson devices using the official L4T release packages.

This image simplifies the flashing process by bundling:

• The Jetson Linux release package for a specified L4T version.
• Essential tools and dependencies required to flash and customize Jetson boards.
• A containerized, reproducible environment following NVIDIA's official flashing guide.
• A foundation for CI/CD pipelines and automation of Jetson device customization.

Perfect for robotics engineers and embedded developers working with Jetson Nano, Xavier, Orin, and other Jetson boards.

🧰 Features

• Downloads and unpacks the official Jetson Linux L4T release package.
• Includes all dependencies to run l4t_flash_prerequisites.sh.
• Suitable for scripting and automation in CI/CD or development pipelines.
• Supports container-based development without polluting your host system.

IMPORTANT: Changes inside the container are not persistent.

🔧 Usage

Run the container to access a consistent Jetson flashing environment with all necessary tools and dependencies preinstalled. You can use it interactively or within automation pipelines.

Example: Enter the Container With Jetson Release Workspace

This will create a container with the Jetson Release contents available at /workspace (default folder). Inside the container, you can run the ./flash.sh script and other tools as needed.

The container will be removed after exiting.
```bash
docker run -it --rm \
  --privileged \
  --network host \
  -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb/ \
  -v /dev:/dev \
  --platform linux/amd64 \
  ghcr.io/getdevopspro/jetson-linux-builder:36.4.3

Example: Create a Sample RootFS

This will create a minimal sample rootfs from L4t scripts. It will be saved at .shared/sample_fs-jammy-minimal.tbz2 of the current directory.

mkdir -p .shared
docker run --rm \
        --name build-rootfs-36.4.3-minimal \
        --privileged \
        --network host \
        -v /var/home/job/mydata/myrepos/jetson-linux-rootfs/.shared:/workspace/shared \
        --workdir /workspace/tools/samplefs \
        --platform linux/amd64 \
        ghcr.io/getdevopspro/jetson-linux-builder:36.4.3 bash -xc \
                'sed -i "s@arch | grep .*@arch | grep \"$(arch)\")\"@" nv_build_samplefs.sh; \
                sudo bash -x ./nv_build_samplefs.sh \
                --abi aarch64 \
                --distro ubuntu \
                --flavor minimal \
                --version jammy; \
                chown 1000 sample_fs.tbz2; \
                mv sample_fs.tbz2 /workspace/shared/sample_fs-jammy-minimal.tbz2'
