It is not speedy I can tell you, but it does work. I did this on a Class 4 8GB SD card, so you get about 4MB/s sustained transfer. What type of 8GB SD card are you going to use? And also make sure you add "noatime" to the mount options in fstab, that will further reduce writes. The only solution to this, as far as I can tell, is to overwrite Jessie on top of what is currently there, but the laptop does not have an disc drive, and I don't have an external one, so I. When updating Debian Wheezy (the stable release) to Jessie, it crashed, so it is currently unusable. Figure 7: Etcher flashing the image file to the micro SD card. Writing ISO (Specifically Debian Jessie) to an SD Card. Start the flashing process by clicking Flash. Figure 6: The micro SD card selected as the target drive. It's lack of a journal is a pro in this case, as it will reduce writes to the card. Select the micro SD card you would like to flash to. If you don't want to go there, simply use ext3 without a journal (or just specify ext2 ). I heard of something called NILFS2, which is a log-structured filesystem, dont know if that works or if we support that. Perhaps there is something cool you can use that works well with flash media. The above Wiki article contains valuable info on making sure the thing will boot properly.įor a filesystem, look around. So partition the SD card like you would a regular disk, and make room for /var on the harddrive, and perhaps also put swap on the harddrive. It's like doing a regular install to a disk, where you keep /var (and swap) on a separate partition (in this case on your harddrive).

I am trying to create the image from a windows computer (not sure if that matters, if there's a windows tool to do said backup), though I do have a Linux subsystem installed on it if the linux command line is the best way to approach it.I have done this, it's not that hard really. I have seen some general Linux backup methods having to do with the dd command but wasn't sure if that would be the best way. ).Īnyway, I thought I'd pop in here and see if someone has done it before or can point me the right direction as to the best way to approach this. This might be a "general linux" question but I wasn't sure if there was anything special about the original Jetson Nano image that made the process a bit more complex (I remember the first time I burnt the image, something like 13 different drives popped up on my computer.

I am trying to find the best way to create an SD card image backup of my Jetson Nano system (so I can burn the same image again and not have to reinstall all the packages/files if something happens).
