What it does

Jetson Print Bsp Info is an agent skill from NVIDIA/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when you need to print Jetson BSP info (L4T version, board configs, rootfs state) from a LinuxforTegra root on the host PC. This is an example skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `BENCHMARK.md`, `evals/evals.json` and `skill-card.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering GPU and accelerator computing. It works with NVIDIA AI Platform and Linux. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for NVIDIA products — install into Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents to run Physical AI, robotics, simulation, CUDA, and RAG workflows end to end. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to print Jetson BSP info (L4T version
  • Rootfs state) from a LinuxforTegra root on the host PC

Example prompts

  • “/jetson-print-bsp-info”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve L4T_ROOT and validate the directory is a Linux_for_Tegra root — exit early otherwise. flash.sh and nv_tegra/ are the two anchor…
  2. Extract the L4T release header line. The canonical host-side location is nv_tegra/nv_tegra_release; the same file is copied into the…
  3. List supported board config files and join them onto one comma-separated line
  4. Check whether the rootfs has been populated. An empty rootfs/ means apply_binaries.sh has not been run yet

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14a98ae. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Jetson Print Bsp Info loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 508 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

jetson-print-bsp-info

Prints a concise summary of a Jetson Linux_for_Tegra (BSP) tree on the host PC.

This skill is intended as a reference example for the jetson-bsp-skills repo and the NVIDIA-wide skills CI. It performs read-only inspection — no flashing, no rootfs changes.

Purpose

Capture a baseline snapshot of a Linux_for_Tegra BSP tree (release, board configs, rootfs state) before flashing, so issues like "wrong L4T version" or "rootfs never populated" are caught early.

When to use

  • A user has unpacked a Jetson BSP tarball and wants to confirm the L4T version, supported boards, and rootfs state before flashing.
  • You need a quick sanity check that a Linux_for_Tegra/ directory looks valid (expected scripts and config files present).

Prerequisites

  • Running on the host PC (Linux), not on the Jetson target.
  • A Linux_for_Tegra/ directory extracted from a Jetson BSP tarball.
  • Standard CLIs available: ls, head, cat, paste, sed.

Inputs

  • L4T_ROOT (optional): absolute path to the Linux_for_Tegra/ directory. If unset, use the current working directory.

Instructions

Run each step in order and print the captured values into the report shown under Output format.

  1. Resolve L4T_ROOT and validate the directory is a Linux_for_Tegra root — exit early otherwise. flash.sh and nv_tegra/ are the two anchor artifacts that every BSP ships:
    bash
    L4T_ROOT="${L4T_ROOT:-$PWD}"
    if [ ! -f "$L4T_ROOT/flash.sh" ] || [ ! -d "$L4T_ROOT/nv_tegra" ]; then
      echo "Not a Linux_for_Tegra root: '$L4T_ROOT' (missing flash.sh or nv_tegra/)"
      exit 1
    fi
    echo "$L4T_ROOT"
  2. Extract the L4T release header line. The canonical host-side location is nv_tegra/nv_tegra_release; the same file is copied into the rootfs by apply_binaries.sh. Only the first line is useful — the rest is a long list of library SHAs:
    bash
    head -1 "$L4T_ROOT/nv_tegra/nv_tegra_release" 2>/dev/null \
      || head -1 "$L4T_ROOT/rootfs/etc/nv_tegra_release" 2>/dev/null \
      || echo "L4T release info not found"
  3. List supported board config files and join them onto one comma-separated line:
    bash
    (cd "$L4T_ROOT" && ls *.conf 2>/dev/null) | paste -sd, -
  4. Check whether the rootfs has been populated. An empty rootfs/ means apply_binaries.sh has not been run yet:
    bash
    if [ -f "$L4T_ROOT/rootfs/etc/passwd" ]; then
      echo "populated"
    else
      echo "empty"
    fi

Output format

Print a short report with these sections, one line each where possible:

text
L4T root:        <path>
L4T release:     <release header line>
Board configs:   <comma-separated list>
Rootfs:          populated | empty

Examples

Example output on an Orin AGX BSP (L4T R36):

text
L4T root:        $HOME/Linux_for_Tegra
L4T release:     # R36 (release), REVISION: 3.0
Board configs:   jetson-agx-orin-devkit.conf,jetson-orin-nano-devkit.conf
Rootfs:          populated

Example output on a freshly untarred BSP where apply_binaries.sh has not been run yet:

text
L4T root:        /tmp/Linux_for_Tegra
L4T release:     # R39 (release), REVISION: 0.0
Board configs:   jetson-agx-thor-devkit.conf
Rootfs:          empty

Error handling

Each command falls back to a clearly labeled "... not found" string if the underlying file is missing — the skill never errors out mid-report. If L4T_ROOT does not contain flash.sh and nv_tegra/, exit early with a clear "not a Linux_for_Tegra root" message rather than printing misleading info.

Limitations

  • Read-only inspection only — does not validate signatures, kernel images, or device-tree overlays.
  • Only checks the presence of rootfs/etc/passwd as a populated-rootfs proxy; will not detect a half-populated rootfs.
  • Lists all *.conf board configs in L4T_ROOT/; does not try to infer which one the user intends to flash.

Troubleshooting

  • Error: Not a Linux_for_Tegra root: '...' (missing flash.sh or nv_tegra/) Cause: L4T_ROOT points at a parent directory, an extracted rootfs, or an unrelated path. Solution: Point L4T_ROOT at the directory that contains flash.sh (typically Linux_for_Tegra/).

  • Error: L4T release info not found Cause: Neither nv_tegra/nv_tegra_release nor rootfs/etc/nv_tegra_release exists — the BSP tarball may be incomplete or apply_binaries.sh was never run. Solution: Re-extract the BSP tarball or run apply_binaries.sh to populate the rootfs.

Notes

  • Do not modify any files. This skill is read-only.
  • If multiple board config files exist, list all of them — do not try to guess which one the user intends to flash.
