+### Jetson Orin NX
+
+Mender leverages the UDA partition to store the persistent data between updates. But with the 
+Orin NX which uses an NVMe the current process doesn't work. Based on nvidia feedback [UDA is 
+reserved](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/jetson-orin-nx-custom-partition-layout-fails-with-uda-at-the-end/316401/6) by nvidia.
+
+To solve this issue we create a new [custom partition layout](recipes-bsp/tegra-binaries/tegra-storage-layout/flash_l4t_t234_nvme_rootfs_ab.xml) with a dedicated partition `id=17` for persistent data.
