I want to buy a Jetson from a legit supplier
Any suggestions?

Its out of stock on robu and think robotics

I wanted to test how good is the new Gemma 4 model for practical edge applications (including tool usage, image labelling and audio transcription)

I tested the tool usage through the ROS-MCP server. The LLM was able to publish to ROS topics to complete the intended goal.

I also made it transcribe a 6 minute audio file from one of my old videos and it performed amazingly in that as well.

What's more surprising is that it's just a 2.3 billion effective reasoning model, runs locally on a 8GB device and provides impressive 15-17 tokens/sec.

Would love to know your thoughts on this? Has anyone here tried using gemma 4 on their jetson Nano? If yes, what did you do and how was your experience?

Hello everyone,
I bought jetson nano dev kit about 3 weeks ago with a lot of interest in starting with some projects. But, so far, I have had no success in setting it up. I am a beginner with these boards. Previously, I have only used Rpi 4 and 3 which seemed to be extremely easy to setup.

I have the following accessories:

• 19V/2.37A and a 19V/6A Power adapter
• 512GB NVMe SSD Gen3 M.2
• 64GB SD card
• DP to DP cable and monitor
• Windows 10 PC
• Jetson has > 36.4 UEFI firmware version

I am following the intructions to install JetPack 6.2.1. I am at the section “Boot with JetPack 6.x SD Card” step 4. (link to instructions - here) Note: I do not have a Ubuntu OS on any of my other PCs.

After flashing the image to SD card, I power-on the jetson board and see the following screen:

Initially, after this screen, it would start logging a lot of lines on black screen starting with numbers or OK in square brackets.

While trying the same thing today, after this screen, the fan stops for a few seconds and then starts again. But, the screen is completely black now. I do not understand how to solve this issue.

I need help to solve this as soon as possible.

I tried to SSH via USB and Ethernet but no success. I think, during boot, it is not even able to reach the network setup stage.
