Software / BSP Details 

 

NVIDIA Linux For Tegra (L4T) 

 
The Orbitty Carrier is designed to be used with the stock 

NVIDIA Linux For Tegra (L4T) Builds

.  HDMI, 

Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, USB OTG (Host & Client), UARTs, GPIO, SD Card and I2C will all be supported 
natively with no BSP modifications needed.  Please note that Fan PWM (speed control) is NOT natively 
supported by the stock L4T builds.  If users wish to use the native builds you must enable the S1 DIP Switch to 
put the Fan into the Always On mode. 
 
NVIDIA’s L4T can be downloaded directly from NVIDIA here: 
 

https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/linux-tegra  

 
 
 

NVIDIA Jetpack for L4T 

 
The JetPack for L4T is an on-demand all-in-one package that bundles and installs all software tools required to 
develop for the NVIDIA’s TX1 Platform with Connect Tech’s TX1 Carrier boards.  JetPack includes host and 
target development tools, APIs and packages (OS images, tools, APIs, middleware, samples, documentation 
including compiling samples) to enable developers to jump start their development environment for developing 
with the Jetson Embedded Platform. The latest release of JetPack runs on an Ubuntu 14.04 Linux 64-bit host 
system and supports both the latest Jetson TX1 Development Kit and Jetson TK1 Development Kit. 
 
NVIDIA’s Jetpack can be downloaded directly from NVIDIA here: 
 

https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetpack   

 
 
 

Connect Tech’s Custom L4T BSP (CTI-L4T) 

 
Connect Tech also offers a custom BSP to add in additional peripheral support on CTI’s TX1 Carrier Boards.  
In the case of the Orbitty Carrier board the CTI-L4T will expose software control of the TX1 Fan PWM (Fan 
Speed Control).  Once the CTI-L4T is deployed, users must enable the S1 DIP Switch to put the Fan into the 
PWM Enabled mode, to use this feature.  Other features and add-ons will be added into the CTI-L4T in the 
future, please see the README file in the CTI-L4T package for full details. 
  
 
The CTI-L4T can be downloaded directly from Connect Tech here:
