Can't install Multimedia API 32.7.1 on TX2i

[dshtaingus]

Hello,

I’m using sdkmanager and trying to install Jetson SDK components.

I managed to install everything except to Multimedia API.

The log of sdkmanager:

I tried to look for solutions on forum, but without success.

I executed several command:

sudo apt list -a nvidia-l4t-jetson-multimedia-api nvidia-l4t-jetson-multimedia-api/stable

I also tried:

apt-get -y --allow-downgrades install /opt/nvidia/deb_repos/nvidia-l4t-jetson-multimedia-api_32.7.1-20220219090344_arm64.deb

Pay attention to asterisk(*) at the end of line

[gianluca.podann]

I did, but it’s the same problem.

[dshtaingus]

sorry, i wish i could help you more

[gianluca.podann]

Did you install nvidia-l4t-jetson-multimedia-api version 32.6.1-20210916210945 on your host computer or on jetson?

I ask because I found out that nvidia wasn’t in my sources.list. But if i append deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common r32.6 main it says it is for an other architecture.

Hi dshtaingus,

What is your BSP version?
You can run below command to check:
$ cat /etc/nv_tegra_release

[dshtaingus]

cat /etc/nv_tegra_release
R32 (release), REVISION: 6.1, GCID: 27863751, BOARD: t186ref, EABI: aarch64, DATE: Mon Jul 26 19:36:31 UTC 2021

Hi dshtaingus,

You are flash r32.6.1 image, please install r32.6.1 sdk components.
If you want to install r32.7.1 MMAPI, please flash r32.7.1 (JetPack-4.6.1) image first. Thanks!

[dshtaingus]

Thx,

I probably installed JP 4.6.1 (rev3)

I’ll try the whole process all over again, but this time, I’ll choose Jet Pack 4.6.1.

Thanks
