Jetson Thor Quick Start Guide

Published: at 08:40 PM

I’ve recently purchased a Jetson Thor Dev Kit for some projects, and Quick Start Guide

Upon rebooting my Thor, the machine became unbearably slow. Upon inspecting sudo tegrastats, I realized that the machine defaults the low-power nvpmodel profile. I paid for the whole Thor, I’m gonna use the whole Thor. Let’s fix this by creating a systemd service to set the clocks to the max profile.

sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/jetson-clocks.service
[Unit]
Description=Jetson Clocks
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "/usr/sbin/nvpmodel -m 0 && /usr/bin/jetson_clocks"
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target/etc/systemd/system/jetson-clocks.service

Enable the service at boot time:

sudo systemctl enable jetson-clocks.service
