Hi. I checked sources and can`t find installation of original nvidia driver like here https://elinux.org/Jetson/Porting_Arch#Changes_to_nvidia_drivers_Package What driver will be used after your script?

The drivers you are mentioning are proprietary drivers from NVidia and only work with the L4T package (and specific kernel version). From the page you linked:

"This will go over the important steps of installing Arch Linux on the Jetson TK1. Including installing the kernel, drivers, and configuration from the Linux for Tegra release provided by NVIDIA."

This uses a much newer kernel. The driver installed by this script will be nouveau, i.e. open source one. You can verify this with lsmod:

[root@alarm alarm]# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
nouveau              1728512  0
ttm                    61440  1 nouveau

As @figgles reply nouveau will be the driver in use
