Does anybody have instructions on how to set up a build environment under Linux (X64/ARM64) to build Deepstream apps without using the actual hardware or NSight? I can use an X64 or an ARM64 machine to perform this task. Here are some things I have tried: - Used the Deepstream Container image [Cloud-Native on Jetson | NVIDIA Developer](https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetson-cloud-native). However this container does not have CUDA built in so any compilation results in a linker error because all the .so files are empty. Instructions at [Docker Containers — DeepStream 5.1 Release documentation (nvidia.com)](https://docs.nvidia.com/metropolis/deepstream/dev-guide/text/DS_docker_containers.html) say that you need to run the containers on the device since CUDA and other dependencies are loaded from the host. - Used the CUDA Container image in the link above. However, it does not have many of the dependencies needed for Deepstream. - I tried looking into most of the Docker files listed at [GitHub - dusty-nv/jetson-containers: Machine Learning Containers for NVIDIA Jetson and JetPack-L4T](https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-containers). I couldn’t find one that included DeepStream. - I found this link but I did not see instructions on how the build would work for DeepStream: [TensorRT 5.1 Cross Compile for Jetson AGX Xavier - Jetson & Embedded Systems / Jetson AGX Xavier - NVIDIA Developer Forums](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/tensorrt-5-1-cross-compile-for-jetson-agx-xavier/80516/12). - I downloaded the development version of the dGPU Docker container with the assumption that I could cross compile in there but that has a newer version of CUDA built in (11 vs 10.2): [Docker Containers — DeepStream 5.1 Release documentation (nvidia.com)](https://docs.nvidia.com/metropolis/deepstream/dev-guide/text/DS_docker_containers.html) ---

**There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more. Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one. Thanks** Hi, May I know more about your environment? What kind of ARM64 machine do you use for cross-compiling? Is it an arm64-sbsa server? More, for the x64 environment, do you have any dGPU connected? Thanks. ---
