section for the changes made between versions.
You can check which version of the BSP you have installed by running:
cat /etc/cti/CTI-L4T.version
Check for the Latest Version of the CTI-L4T BSP at:
http://connecttech.com/resource-center/l4t-board-support-packages/
Please check the requirements section for minimum requirements.
Consult KDB344 at for TX2 hardware compatiblity with your carrier.

More detailed Release Note can be found here:
http://connecttech.com/resource-center/cti-l4t-nvidia-jetson-board-support-package-release-notes/
================================================================================
Requirements
================================================================================
-x86 based host machine running Ubuntu 18.04
-Jetpack 4.4.1 installed via Nvidia SDK Manager (from Nvidia Embedded Download Center)
-TX2, TX2i or TX2-4G module
-Connect Tech TX2 Family Carrier
-USB Cable for flashing
*L4T version can be found in /etc/nv_tegra_release and will look like this:
# R32 (release), REVISION: 2.0
================================================================================
Installation
================================================================================
1. Before Installing the BSP you will need to install Jetpack 4.4.1 on the x86
host system using the Nvidia SDK Manager
2. Copy the CTI-L4T-TX2-32.4.4-V###.tgz package into ~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_4.4.1_Linux_JETSON_TX2/Linux_for_Tegra/
3. Extract the BSP:
tar -xzf CTI-L4T-TX2-32.4.4-V###.tgz
(replacing ### with your file name)
3. Change into the CTI-L4T directory:
cd ./CTI-L4T
4. Run the install script (as root or sudo) to automatically install
the BSP files to the correct locations:
sudo ./install.sh
cd ..
5. The CTI-L4T BSP is now installed on the host system and it should now be
able to flash the TX2/TX2i/TX2-4G.
6. To flash on the TX2, TX2i or TX2-4G use the following (do not add ".conf"):
CTI Assisted Flashing:
./cti-flash.sh
Manual Flash:
./flash.sh cti/<module>/<boardname> mmcblk0p1
TX2 Examples:
./flash.sh cti/tx2/astro-usb3 mmcblk0p1
./flash.sh cti/tx2/astro-mpcie mmcblk0p1
./flash.sh cti/tx2/spacely-imx274-3cam mmcblk0p1
TX2i Examples:
./flash.sh cti/tx2i/astro-usb3 mmcblk0p1
./flash.sh cti/tx2i/astro-mpcie mmcblk0p1
./flash.sh cti/tx2i/spacely-imx274-3cam mmcblk0p1
TX2-4G Examples:
./flash.sh cti/tx2-4G/astro-usb3 mmcblk0p1
./flash.sh cti/tx2-4G/astro-mpcie mmcblk0p1
./flash.sh cti/tx2-4G/spacely-imx274-3cam mmcblk0p1
================================================================================
Installing JetPack from SDK Manager
================================================================================
1. Please follow installation steps from kdb374 for Jetpack 4.2+
http://connecttech.com/resource-center/kdb374/
================================================================================
Installing JetPack from Nvidia's Source packages (Alternate approach)
================================================================================
1. Go to https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/linux-tegra-archive and click on
the green button labeled "32.4.4 >".
2. Download the "L4T Driver Package (BSP)" and "Sample Root Filesystem" files for TX2.
Afterwards, you should have the files "Tegra186_Linux_R32.4.4_aarch64.tbz2" and
"Tegra_Linux_Sample-Root-Filesystem_R32.4.4_aarch64.tbz2".
3. Create a directory named ~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_4.4.1_Linux_JETSON_TX2/
and copy the "Tegra186_Linux_R32.4.4_aarch64.tbz2" file you downloaded into
that directory.
4. Unzip the tarball:
"sudo tar jxf Tegra186_Linux_R32.4.4_aarch64.tbz2"
5. You should now have a new directory called Linux_for_Tegra in your
"JetPack_4.4.1_Linux_JETSON_TX2" folder. Change directories into that
and then copy the "Tegra_Linux_Sample-Root-Filesystem_R32.4.4_aarch64.tbz2"
file you downloaded into the rootfs folder inside.
6. Change into the rootfs folder and unzip the tarball:
"sudo tar jxf Tegra_Linux_Sample-Root-Filesystem_R32.4.4_aarch64.tbz2"
7. If you wish to flash one of NVIDIA’s devkits, or move on to installing CTI’s BSP,
change the directories back to ~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_4.4.1_Linux_JETSON_TX2/Linux_for_Tegra/
and run: "sudo ./appy_binaries.sh"
================================================================================
Flashing TX2/TX2i/TX2-4G
================================================================================
1. Connect the TX2/TX2i/TX2-4G and Carrier (or Dev-Kit) to the computer via USB
following the instructions in the appropriate manual.
2. Put the system to be flashed into recovery mode, following the
instructions in the appropriate manual
4. Run ./flash.sh cti/<module>/<board> mmcblk0p1 from Linux_for_Tegra directory
5. Once the flashing has completed, the TX2/TX2i/TX2-4G will reboot
6. To switch between different boards, you can repeat these steps. Alternatively
follow the instructions below for runtime switching profiles on the
TX2/TX2i/TX2-4G
Consult KDB344 at for TX2/TX2i hardware compatiblity with your carrier.
http://connecttech.com/resource-center-category/all-kdb-entries/
================================================================================
Switching Profiles on TX2/TX2i/TX2-4G
================================================================================
1. Open a terminal on the TX2/TX2i/TX2-4G
2. Run "sudo cti-tx2-dd.sh"
3. Select the profile you wish to switch to from the menu
4. Restart the system
