Setting up Jetson with JetPack

note: if your Jetson Nano has already been setup with the SD card image (which includes the JetPack components), or your Jetson has already been setup with JetPack, you can skip this step and continue to Building the Project

NVIDIA JetPack is a comprehensive SDK for Jetson for both developing and deploying AI and computer vision applications. JetPack simplifies installation of the OS and drivers and contains the following components:

• L4T Kernel / BSP
• CUDA Toolkit
• cuDNN
• TensorRT
• OpenCV
• VisionWorks
• Multimedia API's

Before attempting to build the repo, make sure that your Jetson has been setup with the latest version of JetPack.

Jetson Nano

The recommended install method for the Jetson Nano Developer Kit is to use the SD card image.

It comes pre-populated with the JetPack components already installed and can be flashed from a Windows, Mac, or Linux PC. If you haven't already, follow the Jetson Nano Getting Started Guide to flash the SD card image and setup your Nano.

Jetson TX1/TX2/Xavier

Other Jetson's should be flashed by downloading the NVIDIA SDK Manager to a host PC running Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64 or Ubuntu 18.04 x86_64. Connect the Micro-USB or USB-C port to your host PC and enter the device into Recovery Mode.

For more details, please refer to the NVIDIA SDK Manager Documentation.
