SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Before running performance, regression, or compatibility tests on an NVIDIA Jetson device, engineers need a reliable baseline snapshot of the device's software stack and power configuration. Manually gathering the module model, L4T release, kernel, OS version, and power mode from scattered files and commands is repetitive and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Read-only device inspection: Reads the module model from /proc/device-tree/model, the L4T release header from /etc/nv_tegra_release, the power mode via nvpmodel, and kernel, uptime, and OS version from standard CLIs. - Graceful fallbacks: Every command degrades to a clearly labeled "not found" or "not available" message, and the skill exits early with a clear error when not running on a Jetson target. - Use Case: Before starting a benchmark on a Jetson AGX Orin, capture a one-shot report of the model, L4T release, power mode, kernel, uptime, and OS version to include in the test report. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the jetson-print-device-info skill on your connected Jetson device to print a summary of its model, L4T version, power mode, kernel, uptime, and OS version.

Frequently Asked Questions about jetson-print-device-info

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check the L4T version on a Jetson device?▼

Read the first line of /etc/nv_tegra_release, which contains the L4T release header such as "# R36 (release), REVISION: 3.0". The rest of the file lists library SHAs and can be skipped.

How do I get the current power mode on a Jetson?▼

Run nvpmodel -q, which prints the power mode name and mode number on two lines. If nvpmodel is unavailable, such as in a minimal container, the skill reports "nvpmodel not available" and continues.

Can I run this device info check from a host PC instead of the Jetson?▼

No, the skill must run on the Jetson target itself, for example over SSH. On a host PC, /proc/device-tree/model will not contain a Jetson model string, and the skill exits early with a clear "not running on a Jetson target" message.

What information does a Jetson baseline snapshot include?▼

The report contains six labeled lines: Model, L4T release, Power mode, Kernel, Uptime, and OS version. It is read-only and does not cover GPU or CPU clocks, thermal state, or per-rail power.

Why does nvpmodel show command not found on my Jetson?▼

This happens when the L4T BSP is not installed or when running in a minimal container without nvpmodel. The skill handles this by printing "nvpmodel not available" and continuing with the rest of the report.
