Power modes and JetPack
Super Mode on Jetson Orin Nano and Orin NX.
What it changes, and how to turn it on.
For anyone with a Jetson Orin Nano or Orin NX module who wants to know what Super Mode changes on it, which JetPack release has it, and how to turn it on and check it. Every figure links to the NVIDIA page it comes from.
Figures checked against NVIDIA documentation on 31 October 2026
01 - What it is
What Super Mode is.
Super Mode is a set of higher power modes NVIDIA added for the Jetson Orin Nano and Orin NX modules: 25W and MAXN SUPER on the Orin Nano, 40W and MAXN SUPER on the Orin NX. They raise the GPU clock on all four modules. The hardware does not change: the modes come with a new flash configuration.
NVIDIA's FAQ says the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit has no physical hardware or package differences from the original Orin Nano Developer Kit, and the gain comes from software. On the module, then, Super Mode is software. The rest of the system is a different question: the same FAQ says the higher power budget may mean redesigning the carrier board and the cooling (section 07).
NVIDIA's developer kit got it first, with JetPack 6.1 (rev. 1) in December 2024. Production Orin Nano and Orin NX modules got it with JetPack 6.2 in January 2025, which is built on Linux for Tegra (L4T) 36.4.3, and the JetPack 5 line got it with JetPack 5.1.5 (L4T 35.6.1). The release table is in section 04.
Run on the Jetson
sudo nvpmodel -q # the active power mode
grep POWER_MODEL /etc/nvpmodel.conf # every mode this board defines
sudo nvpmodel -m <id> # switch to mode <id>On NVIDIA's configurations, MAXN_SUPER is in the list only when the board was flashed with a Super configuration (NVIDIA's mode tables). If it is not there, switching modes will not add it: section 05 covers what will.
02 - On each module
What Super Mode changes on each module.
NVIDIA's Super Mode post gives the original and Super Mode figures for all four modules. The table copies them and links each row to the NVIDIA page it comes from. They are NVIDIA's module figures, not measurements of a carrier board.
| Figure | Orin Nano 4GB | Orin Nano 8GB | Orin NX 8GB | Orin NX 16GB | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPU clock, original / Super Mode | 625 / 1020 MHz | 625 / 1020 MHz | 765 / 1173 MHz | 918 / 1173 MHz | NVIDIA Super Mode post, Table 2 |
| CPU, original / Super Mode | 6 cores, 1.5 / 1.7 GHz | 6 cores, 1.5 / 1.7 GHz | 6 cores, 2.0 GHz in both | 8 cores, 2.0 GHz in both | NVIDIA Super Mode post, Table 2 |
| Memory bandwidth, original / Super Mode | 34 / 51 GB/s | 68 / 102 GB/s | 102 GB/s in both | 102 GB/s in both | NVIDIA Super Mode post, Table 2 |
| GPU, sparse INT8 TOPS, original / Super Mode | 20 / 34 | 40 / 67 | 50 / 77 | 60 / 77 | NVIDIA Super Mode post, Table 2 |
| DLA, sparse INT8 TOPS, original / Super Mode | No DLA | No DLA | 20 / 40 | 40 / 80 | NVIDIA Super Mode post, Table 2 |
| Peak AI performance, sparse INT8 TOPS, original / Super Mode | 20 / 34 | 40 / 67 | 70 / 117 | 100 / 157 | NVIDIA Super Mode post, Table 2 |
| Peak AI performance, dense INT8 TOPS, original / Super Mode | 10 / 17 | 20 / 33 | 35 / 58 | 50 / 78 | NVIDIA Super Mode post, Table 2 |
| Module TDP budget, original / Super configuration | 10W / 25W | 15W / 25W | 20W / 40W | 25W / 40W | NVIDIA L4T r36.5 power guide |
On the Orin Nano 4GB and 8GB, Super Mode raises the GPU, CPU and memory clocks. Memory runs at up to 3199 MHz instead of 2133 MHz in NVIDIA's mode tables, and NVIDIA's JetPack 6.2 page puts the bandwidth gain at 50%. On the Orin NX 8GB and 16GB it raises the GPU and DLA clocks, and the CPU top clock and memory bandwidth stay where they were. NVIDIA's Thermal Design Guide describes the same split.
On the Orin NX, the peak TOPS figure is the GPU and the deep learning accelerator (DLA) added together. NVIDIA's 157 TOPS is the sparse INT8 figure for the Orin NX 16GB in Super Mode: 77 from the GPU and 80 from the DLA. The Orin Nano has no DLA, so its figure is the GPU alone. The dense INT8 figures are about half the sparse ones.
The TDP budget is NVIDIA's limit on total module power (the VDD_IN rail), and the higher budgets apply only with the Super flash configurations. When the module goes over the limit, it throttles the GPU and CPU clocks (NVIDIA's L4T power guide). It is a module budget, not a figure for any carrier board's power input.
Some NVIDIA pages still quote the original figures next to Super Mode ones, so check which mode a number refers to. For how these modules compare with a Pi, see Jetson Orin Nano vs Raspberry Pi 5.
03 - Power modes
MAXN SUPER, 25W and 40W: the new power modes.
NVIDIA's L4T developer guide lists each module's nvpmodel modes for two flash configurations: jetson-orin-nano-devkit, the original, and jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super. The Super configuration adds the new modes and changes the default. The number in brackets is the mode ID you pass to nvpmodel -m.
| Module | Original: modes (ID) | Super: modes (ID) | Default, original / Super | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orin Nano 4GB | 10W (0), 7W_AI (1), 7W_CPU (2) | 10W (0), 25W (1), MAXN_SUPER (2) | 10W / 25W | NVIDIA L4T r36.5 power guide |
| Orin Nano 8GB | 15W (0), 7W (1) | 15W (0), 25W (1), MAXN_SUPER (2) | 15W / 25W | NVIDIA L4T r36.5 power guide |
| Orin NX 8GB | MAXN (0), 10W (1), 15W (2), 20W (3) | MAXN_SUPER (0), 10W (1), 15W (2), 20W (3), 40W (4) | 15W / 40W | NVIDIA L4T r36.5 power guide |
| Orin NX 16GB | MAXN (0), 10W (1), 15W (2), 25W (3) | MAXN_SUPER (0), 10W (1), 15W (2), 25W (3), 40W (4) | 15W / 40W | NVIDIA L4T r36.5 power guide |
Clocks in the new modes
| Module | Mode (ID) | CPU cores, max | GPU max | DLA max | Memory max | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orin Nano 4GB | 25W (1), default | 6 at 1728 MHz | 1020 MHz | No DLA | 3199 MHz | NVIDIA L4T r36.5 power guide |
| Orin Nano 4GB | MAXN_SUPER (2) | 6 at 1728 MHz | 1020 MHz | No DLA | 3199 MHz | NVIDIA L4T r36.5 power guide |
| Orin Nano 8GB | 25W (1), default | 6 at 1344 MHz | 918 MHz | No DLA | 3199 MHz | NVIDIA L4T r36.5 power guide |
| Orin Nano 8GB | MAXN_SUPER (2) | 6 at 1728 MHz | 1020 MHz | No DLA | 3199 MHz | NVIDIA L4T r36.5 power guide |
| Orin NX 8GB | 40W (4), default | 6 at 1984 MHz | 1173 MHz | 1203.2 MHz | 3199 MHz | NVIDIA L4T r36.5 power guide |
| Orin NX 8GB | MAXN_SUPER (0) | 6 at 1984 MHz | 1173 MHz | 1228.8 MHz | 3199 MHz | NVIDIA L4T r36.5 power guide |
| Orin NX 16GB | 40W (4), default | 8 at 1497.6 MHz | 1173 MHz | 908.8 MHz | 3199 MHz | NVIDIA L4T r36.5 power guide |
| Orin NX 16GB | MAXN_SUPER (0) | 8 at 1984 MHz | 1173 MHz | 1228.8 MHz | 3199 MHz | NVIDIA L4T r36.5 power guide |
Mode IDs in brackets. Memory is 3199 MHz with jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super. On the Orin NX, the jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super-maxn configuration sets it to 3200 MHz. Figures as NVIDIA's L4T r36.5 power guide gives them.
What the mode IDs mean on a board
In NVIDIA's reference configuration, MAXN SUPER is mode 2 on the Orin Nano and mode 0 on the Orin NX. NVIDIA's Super Mode post uses those IDs: sudo nvpmodel -m 2 for Orin Nano modules and sudo nvpmodel -m 0 for Orin NX modules. Mode 0 is not always the top mode: on an Orin Nano flashed with the Super configuration, it is the 10W or 15W mode.
A board flashed with the Super configuration starts in the 25W mode on the Orin Nano and the 40W mode on the Orin NX, not in MAXN SUPER. On the Orin NX, the original configuration also has a mode called MAXN at ID 0, so seeing MAXN on an Orin NX tells you nothing about Super Mode. Look for MAXN_SUPER or 40W.
The configuration name confuses Orin NX users. jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super is named after NVIDIA's reference carrier board, P3768-0000, not the module, and NVIDIA's Quick Start lists it for the Orin NX 16GB, Orin NX 8GB, Orin Nano 8GB and Orin Nano 4GB alike.
Flashing the Super configuration does not speed up the low modes. Under it, the Orin Nano 10W and 15W modes top out a little lower than the original modes with the same names: 1497.6 MHz on the CPU and 612 MHz on the GPU, against 1510.4 MHz and 624.75 MHz (NVIDIA's mode tables).
A carrier board's own software can ship its own mode list, with different IDs. Read the list on your board (section 06), and see why nvpmodel modes differ between carrier boards.
MAXN SUPER is a ceiling
NVIDIA describes MAXN SUPER as uncapped. It enables the most cores and the highest clocks on the CPU, GPU, DLA, PVA and SoC engines, and if total module power goes over the TDP budget, the module throttles to lower clocks (Super Mode post). The L4T guide calls it an experimental mode, like MAXN, and does not recommend running heavy workloads in MAXN for long periods. For long experiments it points to the configuration with the -maxn suffix, which applies more conservative thermal settings. For Super, that is jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super-maxn.
NVIDIA strongly recommends building your own power mode for your application. Its Power Estimator, updated for Super Mode, estimates power for the cores, clocks and loads you set and generates the nvpmodel configuration file (NVIDIA's note).
04 - Releases
Which JetPack and L4T releases have Super Mode.
The new modes come with NVIDIA's Super flash configurations, so what matters is which L4T releases include them. Each row links to the NVIDIA page that shows it. The JetPack 7 rows are NVIDIA's information for the modules: JetPack 7 on the CB302B is not confirmed.
| JetPack | L4T | Super Mode | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.2.1 | 39.2.1 | Yes. The ISO now flashes NVIDIA's Orin Nano Developer Kit with the Super configuration by default | JetPack 7.2.1 page |
| 7.2 | 39.2 | Yes. For ISO updates on an Orin Nano, see section 05 | L4T r39.2 power guide |
| 6.2.3 | 36.5.2 | Yes | L4T r36.5.2 power guide |
| 6.2.2 | 36.5.0 | Yes | L4T r36.5 power guide |
| 6.2.1 | 36.4.4 | Yes | L4T r36.4.4 power guide |
| 6.2 | 36.4.3 | Yes. The first JetPack 6 release with Super Mode for production modules | JetPack 6.2 page |
| 6.1 (rev. 1) | 36.4 | NVIDIA's Orin Nano Developer Kit only, where NVIDIA called the boosted mode MAXN | JetPack 6.1 page |
| 5.1.7 | 35.6.5 | Yes | L4T r35.6.5 power guide |
| 5.1.6 | 35.6.4 | Yes | L4T r35.6.4 power guide |
| 5.1.5 | 35.6.1 / 35.6.2 | Yes. The first JetPack 5 release with Super Mode | JetPack 5.1.5 page |
| 5.1.4 | 35.6.0 | No. The power guide has no Super configuration | L4T r35.6.0 power guide |
JetPack 6.1 (rev. 1) was the developer kit release. NVIDIA's FAQ says Super Mode is natively available from JetPack 6.1 onwards, but for production modules NVIDIA's release pages start at JetPack 6.2 and JetPack 5.1.5.
To see which release a board runs, check its JetPack and L4T version. The full JetPack to L4T map is in that guide's version table.
05 - Turning it on
Turning Super Mode on: a flash, not an apt upgrade.
On NVIDIA's configurations, Super Mode is chosen when the board is flashed. NVIDIA's Super Mode post says the new modes are only available with the new flash configuration, that the default configuration has not changed, and that you must use the new one while flashing: jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super.conf. Once a board is flashed with it, moving between modes is an nvpmodel command, with no reflash.
Why apt upgrade does not add it
Because the modes are tied to the flash configuration, an apt upgrade does not bring them in. NVIDIA's JetPack documentation says an apt upgrade from JetPack 6.0 or 6.1 to JetPack 6.2 does not enable Super Mode, because those builds do not support it. The exception is NVIDIA's developer kit on JetPack 6.1 (rev. 1), which supports Super Mode: an apt upgrade from there to 6.2 does enable it on the developer kit.
JetPack 7.2's ISO install has a similar limit. The L4T 39.2 release notes say Orin Nano units updated to JetPack 7.2 through the ISO keep the power profile they had and do not default to Super, and that to use Super you flash the board from a Linux host or with SDK Manager. From JetPack 7.2.1, the ISO flashes NVIDIA's Orin Nano Developer Kit with the Super configuration by default.
For what else can go wrong when you upgrade L4T with apt, see the kernel and apt upgrade section of our JetPack guide.
On NVIDIA's Orin Nano Developer Kit
NVIDIA lists three ways to install JetPack 6.2 with Super Mode: the SD card image for the developer kit, SDK Manager, and the flash script (Super Mode post). In SDK Manager, the JetPack 6.2.1 page says to pick JetPack 6.1 (rev. 1) or later. With the flash script, NVIDIA's Quick Start uses jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super as the board name. Its command for a developer kit booting from NVMe:
NVIDIA's developer kit only, run on the host
sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 \
-c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_t234_nvme.xml \
-p "-c bootloader/generic/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" \
--showlogs --network usb0 --erase-all jetson-orin-nano-devkit-super internalThe Quick Start lists the same command for USB and SD card storage, with sda1 or mmcblk0p1 in place of nvme0n1p1.
A developer kit still on its factory firmware needs a firmware update first: the JetPack 6.2 page says the factory firmware supports JetPack 5.x and has to be updated before JetPack 6, and the developer kit guide covers the update. If you re-image a developer kit that ran JetPack 6.0 or 6.1 with the Super SD card image, the JetPack 6.1 page says to run sudo rm -rf /etc/nvpmodel.conf after the final login and reboot, so the boosted mode shows up.
These are NVIDIA's steps for its own developer kit and its P3768-0000 carrier board. They are not steps for the CB302B (section 08).
Switching modes
NVIDIA's reference configuration
sudo nvpmodel -q # the active mode
sudo nvpmodel -m 2 # MAXN SUPER on an Orin Nano
sudo nvpmodel -m 0 # MAXN SUPER on an Orin NXOn any other board, use the ID that nvpmodel -q and /etc/nvpmodel.conf show there (NVIDIA's developer kit guide says the same for its own kit). The mode stays set across power cycles. If the new mode needs a different GPU TPC mask, nvpmodel warns that a reboot is needed and asks whether to reboot now (Power Mode Controls). On the desktop, click the NVIDIA icon in the top bar, open Power mode and pick MAXN SUPER (nvpmodel GUI). The rest of nvpmodel, and jetson_clocks, is in our tegrastats and nvpmodel guide.
On other carrier boards
NVIDIA defines its Super configuration for its reference carrier board, P3768-0000 (Quick Start). Its bring-up guide says that before you use a module with any other carrier board, you change the kernel device tree, the MB1 and MB2 configuration, the ODM data and the flash configuration to match that board, and configure the nvpmodel clocks for it. So on a third-party board, Super Mode comes from the board's own software: its flash configuration and its nvpmodel.conf. Flash it the way the board maker documents.
06 - Checking it
How to check that Super Mode is on.
Run on the Jetson
sudo nvpmodel -q # the active power mode
grep POWER_MODEL /etc/nvpmodel.conf # every mode this board's configuration defines
sudo nvpmodel -q --verbose # the active mode and its settings
sudo jetson_clocks --show # the current clock settingsnvpmodel -q prints the active mode, and the desktop shows it next to the NVIDIA icon in the top bar (Power Mode Controls). NVIDIA's test plan lists the modes in /etc/nvpmodel.conf and uses nvpmodel -q --verbose or jetson_clocks --show to read a mode's settings.
To tell whether a board was flashed with a Super configuration, look for MAXN_SUPER in /etc/nvpmodel.conf or in the Power mode menu. NVIDIA's mode tables say MAXN_SUPER is available only with the Super configurations. On JetPack 6.1 (rev. 1), the developer kit release, the L4T r36.4 guide calls the boosted mode MaxN instead, at ID 2 on the Orin Nano 8GB.
A missing entry does not always mean a reflash. On a developer kit re-imaged with the Super SD card image after JetPack 6.0 or 6.1, NVIDIA's JetPack 6.1 page says to delete /etc/nvpmodel.conf and reboot so the boosted mode shows up. On a developer kit already on JetPack 6.1 (rev. 1), an apt upgrade to 6.2 turns Super Mode on. Otherwise, on NVIDIA's configurations, getting Super Mode means flashing with a Super configuration (section 05).
On an Orin NX, plain MAXN is in the original configuration too, so MAXN on its own proves nothing. MAXN_SUPER or a 40W mode does.
The active mode tells you what the module is allowed to do, not what it is doing. To watch clocks, temperatures and power while a workload runs, use tegrastats, which our tegrastats guide reads field by field. To see which L4T release the board runs, check your JetPack version.
07 - Carrier board and cooling
What Super Mode asks of the carrier board and cooling.
NVIDIA's FAQ is direct about it. Super Mode needs a higher power budget, and customers may need to redesign their carrier boards and thermal solutions to enable it. For the Orin NX, it says “the carrier board must have an HV rail to enable super mode”, and the thermal design has to support 40W. For the Orin Nano, the carrier board and thermal design can follow NVIDIA's Orin Nano Developer Kit.
The module budgets are in the table in section 02: under the Super configuration, 25W for the Orin Nano and 40W for the Orin NX. When module power goes over them, the module throttles its GPU and CPU clocks.
Cooling
NVIDIA's Super Mode post asks you to check that your product's thermal design can handle the new modes, and points to the Thermal Design Guide for the Orin NX and Orin Nano. Version 1.3 of that guide, from January 2025, added tables for MAXN Super. It says MAXN Super thermal specifications follow the 40W mode on the Orin NX and the 25W mode on the Orin Nano, and that every mode keeps to the same SoC limits: 99°C maximum operating temperature and 105°C shutdown.
When the module throttles, the desktop tells you. The nvpmodel indicator shows a notice when the input voltage drops low enough that the system is throttled to avoid a shutdown, and a similar one for thermal throttling.
Plan with the Power Estimator
NVIDIA updated its Power Estimator for Super Mode. NVIDIA strongly recommends using it, and checking the result in practice, before you deploy a high-performance application (Super Mode post).
On a battery, the power mode is one of the things that decides how long a pack lasts, so measure runtime on your own build.

08 - On the CB302B
Super Mode on the CB302B.
The CB302B Jetson Orin Nano and Orin NX carrier board supports Super Mode. It takes the Jetson Orin Nano 4GB, Orin Nano 8GB, Orin NX 8GB or Orin NX 16GB. The bare board ships without a module, for people who already have one, and the Curve Developer Kit can come with a module we source, or you can bring your own. Not every module part revision is confirmed yet, so send us your module's part number before you reserve. If you are still choosing, how to choose a Jetson module starts with memory and workload.
This page does not list CB302B power modes. The modes a board offers come from the software it was flashed with, so read them on the board with nvpmodel -q and /etc/nvpmodel.conf (section 06). We have not published CB302B flashing steps yet, so don't assume NVIDIA's developer kit image or flash command applies to it.
Our curve-extras package is published for Orin NX on CB302B, JetPack 6.2.2, L4T 36.5. JetPack 7 on the CB302B is not confirmed.
Power comes from USB-C PD or from M12 battery power, using a genuine Milwaukee M12 pack (3Ah, 6Ah or 9Ah) that you supply. Curve does not sell battery packs. For cooling, the board has a 4-pin 5V fan connector with PWM speed control. Battery runtime depends on the module, power mode, workload, peripherals and pack.

09 - Questions
Questions about Super Mode.
Is the Jetson Orin Nano Super different hardware from the Orin Nano?
No. NVIDIA's FAQ says the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit has no physical hardware or package differences from the original Orin Nano Developer Kit, and the gain comes from software. NVIDIA's post on the kit says earlier Orin Nano Developer Kits get it by upgrading JetPack. On production modules, the new modes come with the Super flash configuration (section 05).
Can I get Super Mode with apt upgrade?
Not from JetPack 6.0 or 6.1. NVIDIA's JetPack documentation says an apt upgrade from either one to JetPack 6.2 does not enable Super Mode. The modes come with the Super flash configuration, so the board needs flashing with it. The exception is NVIDIA's developer kit on JetPack 6.1 (rev. 1), which already supports Super Mode.
Why is MAXN SUPER missing from my power modes?
On NVIDIA's configurations, MAXN_SUPER is only there when the board was flashed with a Super configuration (NVIDIA's mode tables). It is missing if the board was flashed with the original configuration, if it reached JetPack 6.2 by apt from 6.0 or 6.1, or if an Orin Nano that was not on a Super profile was updated to JetPack 7.2 through the ISO, which keeps the profile it had (L4T 39.2 release notes). On JetPack 6.1 (rev. 1), the developer kit release, the boosted mode is called MaxN (L4T r36.4 guide). On a developer kit re-imaged with the Super SD card after JetPack 6.0 or 6.1, NVIDIA's JetPack 6.1 page says to delete /etc/nvpmodel.conf and reboot. On any other carrier board, the mode list comes from that board's software.
Does Super Mode work on third-party carrier boards?
It depends on the board. NVIDIA's FAQ says Super Mode may need a carrier board and thermal redesign, and that an Orin NX carrier board must have an HV rail, with cooling designed for the 40W mode. On a board other than NVIDIA's, the modes come from that board's flash configuration and nvpmodel.conf (NVIDIA's bring-up guide). The CB302B supports Super Mode (section 08).
Should I leave MAXN SUPER on all the time?
NVIDIA does not suggest it. The L4T developer guide calls MAXN SUPER an experimental mode and does not recommend running heavy workloads in MAXN for long periods, and the Super Mode post strongly recommends building your own power mode for your application. A board flashed with the Super configuration starts in the 25W mode on the Orin Nano and the 40W mode on the Orin NX.
Does the 2019 Jetson Nano get Super Mode?
No. NVIDIA added Super Mode for the Jetson Orin Nano and Orin NX, in JetPack 5.1.5, 6.1 (rev. 1) and later releases. The 2019 Jetson Nano is a different module on JetPack 4, which NVIDIA's FAQ marks as end of life. The developer kit people call the Jetson Nano Super is the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit. We explain which Jetson Nano is which in another guide.

Reserve a CB302B for your Orin module.
The CB302B takes the Orin Nano 4GB, Orin Nano 8GB, Orin NX 8GB and Orin NX 16GB, and supports Super Mode. The bare board ships without a module. Not every module part revision is confirmed yet, so send us your module's part number before you reserve. Nothing is shipping yet: a reservation joins the waitlist, and no payment is taken.
