Hi,

I followed all the steps as mentioned in Getting Started with Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit | NVIDIA Developer

But still when I ran jetson_release -v, I am getting the following message that cuda is not installed. Can you please help me?

idia@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ jetson_release -v

Hi user158496,

Please try below two methods to install CUDA:

  1. Using apt command to install:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install cuda-toolkit-11-4
  1. Install deb file by manually:
Copy "cuda-repo-l4t-11-4-local_11.4.14-1_arm64.deb" file to target Orin
$ sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-l4t-11-4-local_11.4.14-1_arm64.deb
$ sudo apt-key add /var/cuda-repo-11-4-local-xxxxx.pub
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get -y install cuda-toolkit-11-4

Hi,

I tried both approaches, but getting the same status for cuda:

nvidia@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ jetson_release -v

in the sdkmanager, all the packages installed successfully.
I tried to flash the jetson orin with jetpack version 5.0 but still the same status for cuda.
This is the output of nvcc --version:

This is the output of sudo apt install cuda-toolkit-11-4

Can you please help me with this error?

Many Thanks,

I think we need to clarify this…

Are you able to use CUDA or not? I mean currently it looks like the issue is “jetson_release -v” cannot tell you whether the CUDA is installed or not.

But nvcc is already installed and gave you ther version number. The issue looks like just “jetson_release” does not work well but not “cuda cannot be installed”.

Also, just in case you don’t know, this “jetson_release” is not an official tool released by us, so we are not sure whether it has problem in detecting or not.

I believe that jetson_stats has not been released by @rbonghi for JetPack 5.0 yet, so that may explain why jetson_release tool isn’t reporting correctly. If CUDA Toolkit can be found under /usr/local/cuda, then it should already be installed.

Hi,

No, I am not able to use Cuda, the applications that need cuda, it will give me the error of Cuda not installed as well.

Is there anyway to make Cuda visible to system, I enabled CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0, 1 but still cannot detect cuda.

Can you please help me to make cuda visible to system?

Thank you,

Hi,

The /usr/local/cuda is already there

and this is the last lines in ~/.bashrc:

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.4/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.4/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Thank you,

Are you able to run deviceQuery okay?

$ cd /usr/local/cuda/samples/1_Utilities/deviceQuery
$ sudo make
$ ./deviceQuery

deviceQuery, CUDA Driver = CUDART, CUDA Driver Version = 11.4, CUDA Runtime Version = 11.4, NumDevs = 1
Result = PASS

If that works, then your CUDA driver should be fine.
