How NVIDIA Jetson Software Works
Platform Overview
NVIDIA Jetson gives you a complete edge AI platform for building, deploying, and scaling robotics, humanoid, vision AI, and agentic applications. The software stack supports all Jetson modules and developer kits, running popular open source models, accelerating application development with agent skills, and providing an end-to-end workflow from cloud to edge.
Software Foundation
The NVIDIA JetPackâ„¢ SDK brings together Jetson Linux, accelerated AI libraries, developer tools, and production-ready support for Jetson hardware.
AI and Agentic Development
Use optimized open source models from Jetson AI Lab, agentic frameworks such as NVIDIA NemoClaw™ and OpenClaw, and NVIDIA Jetson agent skills to automate development tasks like BSP customization, memory optimization, and model benchmarking.
NVIDIA Frameworks
JetPack also integrates with NVIDIA Holoscan for real-time multimodal sensor processing, NVIDIA Metropolis VSS for video analytics and vision AI, and NVIDIA Isaac robotics technologies, including GR00T N-series humanoid VLA foundation models.
Together, JetPack 7 and Jetson agent skills make edge AI development faster, more automated, and production-ready.
