Install Ethernet Hotspot on Nvidia Jetson

Ethernet Hotspot

Share your WiFi connection with other devices, using an Ethernet cable
This is useful for when you only have one WiFi adapter, but you want multiple devices to use that one internet connection, without buying any additional hardware.
With this script, I'm using a Raspberry Pi's built-in ethernet port to share its internet connection to other downstream devices.

To connect multiple devices downstream, use an ethernet switch.

To run: Menu -> System Tools -> Ethernet Hotspot
To run in a terminal: sudo ethernet-hotspot

Fortunately, Ethernet Hotspot is very easy to install on your Nvidia Jetson in just two steps.

  1. Install Pi-Apps - the best app installer for Nvidia Jetson.
  2. Use Pi-Apps to install Ethernet Hotspot.

Compatibility

For the best chance of this working, we recommend using the latest version of Nvidia Jetpack for your specific Jetson (Jetson Xavier or Jetson Orin).
Ethernet Hotspot will run on L4T Ubuntu ARM64.
