Northern.tech Integrates Mender OTA with NVIDIA Jetson

Northern.tech

The powerful combination of Mender and NVIDIA Jetson Platform Services reduces the time-to-market of AI IoT products at scale and in the field

Northern.tech, the leader in device lifecycle management and the company behind Mender, announces its collaboration with NVIDIA to integrate Mender, the market-leading over-the-air (OTA) software update solution, with the newly releases NVIDIA Jetson Platform Services (JPS). Offering a complete end-to-end solution for managing all aspects of Jetson and Jetson Platform Services (JPS), Northern.tech enables full fleet management capabilities at any scale and lifecycle stage.

Realizing faster time-to-market with a complete AI solution

Today’s AI race requires a comprehensive solution that seamlessly delivers AI applications to the IoT marketplace while enabling continuous iteration and device management throughout the lifecycle. Yet, most AI-focused platforms only offer a subset of the functionality required to succeed in the AI-enabled IoT market.

The newly released NVIDIA Jetson Platform Services changes the AI landscape, enabling the rapid development of AI applications for IoT products and distributing the power of AI. NVIDIA Jetson Platform Services expands the accessibility of AI, offering it to a large audience of IoT developers on Jetson and facilitating the rapid development of new innovative applications by using out-of-the-box solutions like object pattern recognition.

Collaborating with Northern.tech to integrate Mender for OTA software updates and device lifecycle management creates a complete out-of-the-box solution for Jetson developers. Mender combined with NVIDIA Jetson Platform Services enables:

“Delivering an out-of-the-box solution is central to the value of NVIDIA Jetson Platform Services for AI developers,” states Eystein Stenberg, co-founder and CTO of Northern.tech. “Collaborating with NVIDIA to seamlessly integrate Mender for OTA updates and fleet management ensures Jetson Platform Services facilitates that experience for developers from design to production.”

Newly released real-world use cases for Mender and NVIDIA

To support real-world AI applications – such as smart cameras in physical security, manufacturing, and automotive industries – Northern.tech and NVIDIA released the top three use cases encountered by NVIDIA Jetson developers.

  1. Manage operating system (OS) updates on Orin with JetPack 6
    As a foundational layer, operating system (OS) updates enable releasing new software for all parts of the software stack. Unlocking a robust full A/B update strategy with Mender means updating any software of the Jetson, including Platform Services and any applications, can be achieved without the risk of half-installed or bricked devices.
  2. Install Jetson Platform Services with Mender
    Save significant time installing Jetson Platform Services leveraging Mender. Simply deploy a single Mender Artifact to install Jetson Platform Services on the whole stack. Existing in-field Jetsons on JetPack 6 can also be enhanced with Jetson Platform Services – at scale.
  3. Diagnose and manage Jetson Platform Services remotely
    After your Jetson Platform Services-enabled products are in the field, leverage Mender to monitor and ensure they are all running successfully, diagnose any issues, and fix problems if needed.
Driving towards an AI-enabled future

The combination of Mender and NVIDIA Jetson Platform services allows AI models, applications, and devices to be easily, quickly, and securely updated and managed at scale in production. Shorter cycles between development, iteration, and product releases catalyze faster innovation and better products. Mender and NVIDIA combine to unleash the power of AI – for developers, their IoT products, and the world at large benefiting from new, innovative technology.
