# Orin Board Setup and Installation
For the Orin board and getting the proper drivers/packages I took the following steps to get the board set up.
## System Flashing
Using a Ubuntu 22.04 host machine I installed the Nvidia SDK manager and flashed the Orin board with the latest ORIN board SDK image. It is important to clarify that the flash must be done on a host machine that is natively running Ubuntu. We have tried on VMs/Docker but both are unable to complete the flash process. For what we are doing I only installed the CUDA drivers and runtime/utils which is the minimal amount of packages in the flash. You will need to pay attention to what version is being installed for the later steps. The following websites were used as instuctions for the SDK manager. Most if not all instructions were followed from them.
