Hi! I am looking to use a GPU profiler for development and as far as I understand, nvidia nsight system is already installed with Jetpack’s components. The `nsys` command line offers an interface with the CLI version of it. But I would like to use the GUI version. Please let me know if it’s possible, and if so how do you launch the application. Thank you and have a great day! ---

Hi, The native profiler on the Jetson is the CLI version. If you want to use a GUI one, please launch it on a desktop machine and remotely profile. After you install all the components for the host from JetPack, you can launch it as below: ```auto $ cd /opt/nvidia/nsight-systems/2021.5.4/bin/ $ ./nsys-ui ``` Thanks. ---

Thanks for your quick answer! I already tried to install the profiler on a desktop (Ubuntu 18.04 and/or Windows 10) but it said there was missing a file for tegra release (which i guess it’s the driver for the Jetpack version of nsys). Do you mean I should install Jetpack on my desktop? Or only the profiler from Jetpack? If so I didn’t know it was possible! Thank you and have a great week! PS. I have joined an image of nsys-ui on my Ubuntu 18.04 desktop ![279718821_539763487770815_8223442230622326581_n](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/2/c/2c68fef9079a47a08cb1fa4a2ec0e9b96c3e0127.png) Update: I have found the package management server for Jetpack components! But now i get this error (the same as windows) ![279580364_4979290088835623_8147273897464558221_n](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/4/9/4902db741e638b1b773d9e082d6661160891b96a.png) This is a screenshot from my target jetson ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/1/d/1df6fd0bd88ad50d0ee19fbcd5e95a9e64d0f277.png) ---

Hi, Yes, please install the host components from the JetPack. It has the cross-compiling toolkit which is required for remote profiling. Thanks. ---

Hi, If you look at my update from the last reply, I was able to install the Ubuntu18.04 component of nsight from jetpack 5 package server. Yet I still get the “Target not supported” error. I have joined in my previous post a screenshot of the directory of nsight-systems. Thank you! ---

Thanks for the clarification. We are going to check this and will update more information with you later. ---

Hi, Please use the Nsight System v2021.5. **4** for the Orin profiling. When installing the components from JetPack, there are `2021.5.2` and `2021.5.4` installed into the `/opt/nvidia/nsight-systems` folder. We can access Orin successfully with the `2021.5.4` tool and do reproduce the target not supported error with the `2021.5.2`. It looks like the support is added into `2021.5.4`. Would you mind giving it a try? Thanks. ---

Yes, you were exactly right! However, the 2021.5.4 revision was not installed, so I add to install it with ```auto sudo apt-get install nsight-systems-2021.5.4 ``` But now it works just fine! …I guess the Jetpack component was not necessary at the end of the day. Well we can close this issue now! Have a great day! ---

Good to know it works now. Thanks for the update. ---
