Cuda on AGX Orin - no device found?

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation
#1

Hello,

I am trying to figure out why cuda is not working on an AGX Orin Dev Kit. I’ve tried numerous things from the Samples dir from the cuda ??? Every single cuda-enabled software I try to run reports no cuda devices found. I wonder if something isn’t configured/installed correctly after my previous debacle[0]?

Example:
cuda-samples/Samples/1_Utilities/deviceQuery$ ./deviceQuery
./deviceQuery Starting…

CUDA Device Query (Runtime API) version (CUDART static linking)

cudaGetDeviceCount returned 100
→ no CUDA-capable device is detected
Result = FAIL

I have a working GUI and everything else (as far as I can tell) is okay. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thank you!

Hello,

So I tried to install a newer version of CUDA from the repo “deb Index of /compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/sbsa /”, but it fails with:
Building initial module for 5.10.65-tegra
apt remove cuda-dkms-515
ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-5.10.65-tegra is not supported
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.10.65-tegra (arm64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/515.48.07/build/make.log for more information.

That makes me think the version that is installed (via “https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common r34.1/main”) as a jetpack dependency must be a custom build. Going back to the jetpack version every sample I try results in the same “no CUDA-capable device is detected” error. Maybe I’m just doing something wrong?!

Edit to add:

Since your jetson is not working correctly, one possible solution would be to reinstall the device using the SDK manager.

sbsa is not the correct repository to use with Jetson.

You may wish to ask jetson AGX Orin question on the jetson AGX Orin forum.

Okay so rather than go through another reflash I decided to try something else: I used /opt/nvidia/l4t-gputools/bin/nvgpuswitch.py to switch to “dGPU” and then back to “iGPU” which fixed whatever was wrong. Now all of the CUDA samples are working correctly.
