What this skill does
jetson-print-device-info Prints a concise summary of the Jetson device this skill runs on. This skill is intended as a reference example for the jetson-device-skills repo and the NVIDIA-wide skills CI. It runs on the Jetson target (not the host PC) and performs read-only inspection — useful as a baseline capture before running performance tests. Purpose Capture a baseline snapshot of a Jetson target's software stack and power mode before running performance, regression, or compatibility tests. When to use Starting a performance run and you want a captured baseline of the device's software stack and power mode. Verifying that a freshly flashed Jetson matches an expected L4T / JetPack version. Prerequisites Running on a Jetson target (not the host PC). Standard CLIs available: tr, cat, uname, uptime, lsbrelease (or /etc/os-release). nvpmodel available for power mode (optional — skill falls back gracefully). Inputs None. The skill reads only from the local Jetson filesystem and standard CLIs. Instructions Run each step in order and print the captured values into the report shown under Output format. 1. Capture the module model and validate it is a Jetson target — exit early otherwise: 2. Extract the L4T release header line — skip the rest of the file (long list of library SHAs): 3. Run nvpmodel -q and join its two output lines (NV Power Mode: <name> and the mode number) onto one line. paste -sd only uses the first char of its delimiter, so use awk to insert the literal / separator: 4. Print the kernel version and uptime: 5. Print the OS version (prefer lsbrelease, fall back to /etc/os-release): Output format Print a short report with these sections, one line each where possible: Examples Example output on an Orin AGX dev kit (L4T R36 / Ubuntu 22.04): Example output on an AGX Thor (L4T R39 / Ubuntu 24.04): Error handling Each command falls back to a clearly labeled "... not found" / "... …
