Getting error "undefined reference to `PvaProgramSetDMADescriptorsV2'" when compiling VPI program

Please provide complete information as applicable to your setup.

• Hardware Platform (Jetson / GPU) Jetson
• DeepStream Version 6.3-triton-multiarch docker container
• JetPack Version (valid for Jetson only) 5.1.1 [L4T 35.3.1]

Hi Everyone,

I will use VPI in a deepstream project however I cannot compile the project with VPI. I cannot even compile the VPI sample.

I’m getting this error:

/usr/bin/ld: /opt/nvidia/cupva-2.3/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libcupva_host.so.2.3: undefined reference to `PvaProgramSetDMADescriptorsV2'
/usr/bin/ld: /opt/nvidia/cupva-2.3/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libcupva_host.so.2.3: undefined reference to `PvaProgramSetPointerValueEx'

cupva version in the docker container is 2.3 while cupva version in the host machine is 2.0. So there is a version mismatch but I don’t know if it is the reason for the issue.

This doesn’t fix my issue:

export LD_PRELOAD=/opt/nvidia/cupva-2.3/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libcupva_host.so.2.3

Steps to reproduce:

docker run --rm -it --runtime nvidia nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream:6.3-triton-multiarch bash
apt update && apt install -y vpi2-samples libopencv-dev
cd /opt/nvidia/vpi2/samples/01-convolve_2d/
cmake .
make

6.3-triton-multiarch docker container

The DeepStream 6.3 container follows the DeepStream 6.3 platform compatibilities. Installation — DeepStream documentation 6.4 documentation

So the JetPack version in host should be 35.4.1. Please reinstall JetPack in your Jetson device.

Hi Fiona,
Thanks for the reply. Since updating the JetPack version of my device is not possible, I tried to use DeepStream 6.2 and it worked.
