Are Jetson Tegra images compatible with MAAS?

Hi

I’m trying to figure out if the official Canonical Jetson Tegra images are compatible with MAAS?

Afaik, MAAS requires

  • Power provider (we can hack this ourselves)
  • PXEboot (which these devices support)
  • Compatible OS image <— Do the Canonical images work for this? Or are they to tailored to work with MAAS PXEboot/Curtin,…?

MAAS images are specially crafted for it.

If you want to convert these images for deployment with MAAS, you can look at packer-maas repository for a starting point.

Ok, so I figured out I need the linux-nvidia-tegra-igx kernel and Ubuntu 22.04.

The device doesn’t complete a boot with Ubuntu 24.04 and HWE kernel. Is there a way for me to specify a custom image or custom kernel for the first boot (even before commissioning)?

custom images for commissioning are not supported

And what about just using a custom kernel for commissioning? I see MAAS presents me with a few kernel options for default commisssioning. Is there some way to add a custom one to that?

Nope. You have 2 ways:

  • you provide your simplestream server and you expose your own Ubuntu LTS
  • You replace the images on the disk but you might end up with other problems

Ok, thanks for your help! Then I guess MAAS can’t do anything with NVIDIA Jetson Orin devices until Ubuntu’s latest LTS can at least boot on it.
