How to install cuda and open-cv in jetson nano

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Nano
1

my jetpack is 4.6 (rev 3)
when i tried installing components from SDK manager it led to failure in VPI ON HOST
I need to install cuda , open cv on jetson nano
i started with cuda
i tried installing manually
after flashing i copied these files from sdk_downloads into the device

Hi,

Do you need OpenCV with CUDA acceleration or just OpenCV (CPU) and CUDA on a Jetson?

OpenCV with CUDA acceleration

What I do is install CUDA with the SDK Manager and build OpenCV from source. I build OpenCV as a Debian package so that it can be easily used on multiple boards.

  1. Flash the board and install CUDA with the SDK manager

  2. Enlarge memory swap (Only needed on Jetson Nano)

Setup dphys-swapfile

# install dphys-swapfile
sudo apt install -y dphys-swapfile nano
# enlarge the boundary (CONF_MAXSWAP=4096)
sudo nano /sbin/dphys-swapfile
# give the required memory size (CONF_SWAPSIZE=4096)
sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile
# reboot afterwards
sudo reboot

Check the swap size and available disk space

# Swap: 6074
free -m
# You need 24GB of disk space
df -h
  1. Install dependencies

Remove previous OpenCV and unnecessary packages to clean up some space

sudo apt update
sudo apt purge -y libreoffice* thunderbird* opencv-* libopencv*

Set CUDA location

cd ~
sudo sh -c "echo '/usr/local/cuda/lib64' >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-tegra.conf"
sudo ldconfig

Install OpenCV dependencies

sudo apt install -y \
build-essential cmake git unzip pkg-config zlib1g-dev libjpeg-dev libjpeg8-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev \
libpng-dev libtiff-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libglew-dev libgtk2.0-dev \

Install Debian dependencies

sudo apt install -y devscripts build-essential lintian
  1. Download OpenCV and OpenCV contrib

Download the latest version (I use OpenCV 4.6, but this can be changed)

wget -O opencv.zip https://github.com/opencv/opencv/archive/4.6.0.zip 
wget -O opencv_contrib.zip https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/archive/4.6.0.zip 
unzip opencv.zip 
unzip opencv_contrib.zip
rm opencv.zip
rm opencv_contrib.zip

Move the folders into /home/nvidia/opencv. You will need to edit debian/rules if you use a different route.

mkdir ~/opencv
mv opencv-4.6.0 ~/opencv/opencv
mv opencv_contrib-4.6.0 ~/opencv/opencv_contrib
  1. Uncompress the debian folder attached into the opencv folder (It is a modified version from the one available at Debian in Launchpad)

debian.tar.gz (33.2 KB)

Using the default folder structure:

cd ~/opencv
tar -xf debian.tar.gz
  1. Build the debian

This command will run clean, configure, make, make install to a tmp folder, and generate the debian packages. It will take several hours

cd ~/opencv/opencv
debuild -b -us -uc

If you want to skip the clean step (In case something failed in the last steps) you can uncomment the clean and autoclean lines in debian/rules

--- #override_dh_auto_clean:
+++ override_dh_auto_clean:
 
--- #override_dh_clean:
+++ override_dh_clean:

You may need to edit the script /usr/bin/dpkg-shlibdeps to disable dependency check:

--- my $ignore_missing_info = 0;
+++ my $ignore_missing_info = 1;

If you just want to build OpenCV for your current board instead of a debian package, you can skip steps 5. and 6. and instead run the build command with these cmake flags:

CMAKE_FLAGS = \
	-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
	-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
	-DOPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv/opencv_contrib/modules \
	-DEIGEN_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/eigen3 \
	-DWITH_OPENCL=OFF \
	-DWITH_CUDA=ON \
	-DCUDA_ARCH_BIN="5.3,6.2,7.2" \
	-DCUDA_ARCH_PTX="" \
	-DWITH_CUDNN=ON \
	-DWITH_CUBLAS=ON \
	-DENABLE_FAST_MATH=ON \
	-DCUDA_FAST_MATH=ON \
	-DOPENCV_DNN_CUDA=ON \
	-DENABLE_NEON=ON \
	-DWITH_QT=OFF \
	-DWITH_OPENMP=ON \
	-DBUILD_TIFF=ON \
	-DWITH_FFMPEG=ON \
	-DWITH_GSTREAMER=ON \
	-DWITH_TBB=ON \
	-DBUILD_TBB=ON \
	-DBUILD_TESTS=OFF \
	-DWITH_EIGEN=ON \
	-DWITH_V4L=ON \
	-DWITH_LIBV4L=ON \
	-DOPENCV_ENABLE_NONFREE=ON \
	-DINSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=OFF \
	-DINSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=OFF \
	-DPYTHON3_PACKAGES_PATH=/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages \
	-DOPENCV_GENERATE_PKGCONFIG=ON \
        -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
        -DBUILD_WITH_DEBUG_INFO=OFF \
        -DENABLE_PROFILING=OFF \
	-DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF

Note: The debian folder and the flags I sent are for JetPack 4.6.1, for a more recent JetPack you will need to edit DCUDA_ARCH_BIN to match your device arch.

Note 2: The instructions and the flags are based on this
