Software for Jetson boards should be viewed as firmware for these embedded/industrial devices. They get installed in a robot, MRI machine, etc with a specific bespoke application targeting what they came with and are never touched again -or- supported by some large commercial firm with the skillsets you describe.

I was as firm/absolute in my original reply as I was because anyone who thinks life with Jetson is similar to life with a discrete Nvidia GPU on x86_64 will be in for a huge shock and 95% of the time it will end up on their shelf in a year or two.

It's one thing when it's the latest random ARM SBC you bought for $50 with no vendor support, it's another thing entirely when you're spending > $600 (or $2000 as this started!!!!) on a Jetson.
