Cross compile QT6 for Jetson Orin in Linux
1 project | /r/embeddedlinux | 8 Dec 2023

If you must compile from source, there is a Yocto layer targeting Orin at https://github.com/OE4T/meta-tegra. Then you can add https://code.qt.io/cgit/yocto/meta-qt6.git/log/ like any yocto layer. The Yocto route is more difficult initially, but it pays off if you need to customize a lot of things.

Solving Entry-Level Edge AI Challenges with Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano
1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 20 Sep 2022

Related, so I'd like to give a shout out to the guys who made meta-tegra[1] possible so that I don't have to use NVidia's garbage software, which barely resembles something you get out of a proper SBC.

Is there a way to cleanly install Ubuntu 20 on the NX?
1 project | /r/JetsonNano | 9 Jun 2021

If you need newer versions of certain libraries / other software, you can have a look at OE4T and use it to build your own system images. This will not remove all restrictions ( you will still be unable to update the kernel, of course ) but you can more easily use more current software versions for parts of the system that have no direct NVIDIA dependency.
