sstate is a cache for the build machine, SDK is a toolchain for developers, eSDK packs both for offline system development. Here's how they differ and which one you want.
A build kept stalling on llvm-native and rust-native. Tracing reverse dependencies with bitbake -g led to Tegra's OP-TEE / EKS boot chain needing python3-cryptography — which is written in Rust.
Why one router plus one Jetson is the most pragmatic edge AI gateway: OpenWrt owns the forwarding plane, Tegra owns inference, wired together with VLANs and containers.
Run TensorRT inference in JetPack containers on NVIDIA Jetson Orin and deploy it as an edge AI gateway, including jetson-flash essentials.
