Set Up Your Jetson

What's Pre-Installed

Bundles ship ready to use — no flashing required:

  • Jetson: Latest ARK Jetson image (JetPack 6 / L4T r36) on the NVMe SSD, with ARK-OS pre-installed

  • Credentials: Username jetson, password jetson, hostname jetson

The default password is well known — change it (passwd) before putting the device on a network you don't control.

A bare carrier board (no Jetson module or SSD) has no OS on it. Install your module and NVMe SSD, then follow the Flashing Guide.

Steps

  1. Connect — reach the Jetson over USB-C, WiFi hotspot, or Ethernet.

  2. Get Online — join it to your WiFi network.

  3. ARK-OS — the preinstalled services and the ARK-UI web interface.
