JetPack 6.2.2 for Jetson Orin

JetPack 6.2.2 is now out in the wilds for the Jetson Orins. While it’s a minor point upgrade, it fixes a CUDA memory allocation problem introduced in the last update. If you have a Jetson Orin already running JetPack 6.2+, you can update on the device directly. Looky here:

A note:

Note: In the JetPack 6.2.2 announcement in the forum, there are a couple of malformed commands shown when upgrading the system. Make sure to read the pinned note on the video or video description to correct them.

You can also use the traditional NVIDIA SDK Manager and SD card installations if you want to reinstall from scratch.
