Cache Failure and Null Weights in Jetson-Inference Tutorial

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson TX2
#1

I’m trying to go through your Jetson-Inference tutorial, however I’m unable to run even the first script. I am not using custom code or models. Nothing from the repo is changed. I’m using: Jetson TX2, Cuda 9.0, TensorRT 4.0, Cuda 9.0

I’m getting the following when trying to run the imagenet console program:

nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~/jetson-inference/build/aarch64/bin$ ./imagenet-console orange_0.pjg output_0.jpg
imagenet-console
  args (3):  0 [./imagenet-console]  1 [orange_0.pjg]  2 [output_0.jpg]

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Kathryn, it may be that the model that gets downloaded during the cmake step may be corrupted.

You could run these steps to try again, or manually downloading bvlc_googlenet.caffemodel if that doesn’t work:

cd jetson-inference
rm -r -f build
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../    # this is where the models get downloaded
make
#3

Thank you so much for the response.

I’ve done the above, but I’m getting an error when trying to make. I tried removing the entire repo and re-cloning, but I’m still getting the same issue.

I’m getting whitespace warnings, which are non-critical. The error is here:

Update:

Got the make to work using -lstdc++

The imagenet script returned the same errors, so I tried using the downloaded model you linked and it worked! In looking in the networks folder, it appears that all of the models are empty. Thank you so much for your help.

Hmm, perhaps your connection or firewall is blocking the CMakePreBuild.sh script from automatically downloading the models using wget.

If you end up needing the other models, you can try manually downloading them from the URLs starting here:
https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-inference/blob/6e16563f404af35be08993a44ad3650210f40351/CMakePreBuild.sh#L30

It’s probably the corporate firewall. I had to get IT to whitelist the nvidia docker to be able to login.

I’m actually having trouble with the docker at the moment. When I try to go to localhost:8888, it says there is a problem loading the page. When I go look at docker, it appears that digits is exiting almost immediately. I tried running with -dit but that didn’t fix it. I’m completely new to docker, so I don’t know if this is a firewall, nvidia, or docker (or me doing something wrong) issue.

#7

If you are having trouble running DIGITS locally within Docker, are you able to try installing DIGITS natively on an Ubuntu 16.04 machine?

#8

I’ve tried, but caffe isn’t installing properly. I was going to tackle that today if I couldn’t get docker working.
