Make sure CUDA is in your PATH! Copy and paste the lines below to .bashrc
in your home folder, edit it with sudo gedit .bashrc
.
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/cuda/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/cuda/lib64
Reload PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or close the Terminal and open it again)
source .bashrc
# Verify, this command should work now
nvcc --version
Common issues:
When you reach the flashing part, the automatic mode didn’t work for us when writing this doc, we did flash using manual mode. (You need to put in recovery mode manualy and verify it with this command)
If you get LOST CONNECTION to jetson
, try replug-in the usb cable - also make sure that python ist installed on the host computer ($ sudo apt-get install python
), since this can cause that error as well.
NANO: After the initial setup of the nano the software updater can be stuck. If this happens you can follow this guide to solve this issue: Ubuntu update error “waiting for unattended-upgr to exit”
