Updating NVIDIA Jetson devices with Memfault OTA

NVIDIA offers one of the most comprehensive SDKs for developers of AI-heavy products. It includes a development kit that can emulate other devices in the lineup (Jetson AGX Orin DK), a simpler development kit for “entry-level” products (Jetson Orin Nano DK), a ton of exciting software libraries, AI models and even more examples of how to use them. It’s truly outstanding and out of the box shows up as a Ubuntu workstation which will feel very familiar.

However, it can be a bit daunting to figure out how to take this workstation experience and turn it into a headless unit that you can ship to customers far away and update remotely.

OTA for Embedded Linux Devices: A practical introduction

A core belief of Memfault is that we can ship faster when we have good infrastructure in place. An essential piece of this infrastructure is tools to send firmware updates over the air. It enables the team to ship more often and spend more time building features.

In this article, we look specifically at what is required to ship over-the-air firmware updates for Linux systems.

Integrating Memfault into an Embedded Linux Project

In this blog post, I will demonstrate how to integrate Memfault’s offering on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ running embedded Linux.

Integrating Memfault with Blecon Bluetooth Devices

In this post, I’ll go through how we evaluated Memfault at Blecon and talk through what we liked and why we decided to use it, how we integrated it into the nRF5 platform and carried the Memfault data over to the Memfault cloud via Bluetooth.
