SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It captures a concise, read-only snapshot of a running Jetson device so you can verify the software stack and power state without hunting for commands.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Confirms the Jetson model and verifies that the skill is running on a Jetson target.
  • Reports L4T release, power mode, kernel version, uptime, and OS version in a consistent report.
  • Useful before benchmarking, regression testing, and baseline documentation for newly flashed devices.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to run the Jetson print-device-info skill on the connected device and return the model, L4T release, power mode, kernel, uptime, and OS version.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get Jetson system info like L4T release and power mode?

To get Jetson system info, use this skill to capture a read-only snapshot reporting the L4T release, power mode, kernel version, and OS version from local system files. It consolidates diagnostic data into a single consistent report.

What's the best way to verify Jetson device hardware and OS configuration before benchmarking?

The best way to verify Jetson device hardware before benchmarking is to capture a baseline snapshot confirming the model, L4T release, and power state. This skill reads /proc/device-tree/model and nvpmodel to document the exact device configuration.

Does checking Jetson nvpmodel power mode require root access?

Checking Jetson nvpmodel power mode does not require root access, as this skill performs a read-only capture of the device state. It accesses standard system utilities and files like /etc/nv_tegra_release and uname without modifying the target.

Can I use this Jetson diagnostic tool to check uptime and kernel version remotely?

You can use this Jetson diagnostic tool to check uptime and kernel version by running it locally on the target device. It requires direct local access to system paths like /proc/device-tree and commands including uname and lsb_release to gather the data.

What system files are needed to retrieve Jetson L4T release and OS version info?

To retrieve Jetson L4T release and OS version info, the system requires access to /etc/nv_tegra_release and /etc/os-release or lsb_release. It also reads /proc/device-tree/model to confirm the specific Jetson hardware model.

Why does my Jetson device snapshot report fail to return model information?

A Jetson device snapshot report fails to return model information if the target lacks local access to /proc/device-tree/model. This skill depends on reading that specific path to confirm the hardware model and verify it is running on a Jetson system.
