NVIDIA Jetson Setup
Note: These steps may be the same for other Jetson models but were written specifically for a Jetson TK1.
- A NVIDIA Jetson (the TK1 model was used for this tutorial)
- Micro USB cable
- PC running UBUNTU 64 bit
- Router/switch on the same network as you UBUNTU PC
- 1 Ethernet cable
- Webcam (works best with an LED light ring)
- Provided 12v power supply
Step 1: Plug micro usb cable into the jetson (small side into the port next to audio jacks, and the large side into your PC running UBUNTU).
Step 2: Plug in the Jetson into your router/switch via ethernet. Make sure your UBUNTU PC is connected to the same network (via ethernet or wifi) and the network is connected to the INTERNET
Step 3: Turn jetson into recovery mode by holding down the recovery button and pressing reset (if the jetson is on already) or power off (if the jetson is off)
Step 4: Open up console (terminal) on your LINUX computer
Step 5: Type lsusb into the ubuntu PC's console and check to make sure that there is a NVidia device plugged in
Step 6: Download flashJetson.run Type (and then click enter, password: ubuntu):
mkdir jetsonInstall; cd jetsonInstall; wget https://github.com/FRCTeam3255/NURDVision/raw/master/flashJetson.run; sudo bash ./flashJetson.run
Step 7: Continue through the user intuitive flashing process (this may take a few hours) selecting Jetson Tk1 where available (Detailed steps below).
DO NOT INSTALL OPENCV OR ANY SAMPLES AT THIS POINT.
(This may take a while)
(Determining IP may take a while as it is downloading and installing software on the Jetson)
It should say flash succesfull.
Note: If issues occur check that the jetson is connected to the same router as your computer and it is able to access the internet, then reboot your computer and try again.
