Flashing Jetson with Nvidia SDK Manager on Ubuntu 24.10
Briefly

Updating Jetpack on the Jetson AGX Orin 64GB development kit from version 5.X to 6.2 requires re-flashing the device. Initial attempts to use the sdkmanager UI resulted in errors due to GTK dependencies and libc-bin issues. Opting for a Docker container presented further challenges during the build stage. A resolution was found in the use of a KVM Ubuntu 20.04 virtual machine, which successfully completed the image build without encountering the libc-bin error. Ensuring compatibility with qemu-user-static is important for the process.
To update the Jetpack on the Jetson AGX Orin 64GB devkit from 5.X to 6.2, you need to re-flash the device while addressing compatibility issues.
The use of a Docker container for sdkmanager provides a helpful option, yet issues arise due to dependency problems with GTK and libc-bin during image building.
Running sdkmanager within a KVM Ubuntu 20.04 virtual machine allows successful image building, avoiding libc-bin errors present in other environments.
Ensuring the compatibility of qemu-user-static between the host and container is crucial for successful ARM architecture image creation.
