Hi,

You can build it from source.  
Please check this comment for the details:  
[https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1044473/jetson-agx-xavier/caffe-installation-on-xavier/post/5299458/#5299458](https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1044473/jetson-agx-xavier/caffe-installation-on-xavier/post/5299458/#5299458)

For Jetson Nano, please use _sm\_53_ CUDA\_ARCH in the configure file:

```auto
CUDA_ARCH := -gencode arch=compute_53,code=sm_53 \
             -gencode arch=compute_53,code=compute_53

```

Thanks.
