After an installation with JetPack-L4T-2.3.1-linux-x64.run, CUDA is missing except the following
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/tegra/libcuda.so.1.1

Was JetPack able to connect to your Jetson over ethernet (SSH) after flashing L4T?

You could also try running the JetPack post-install steps again, including CUDA. This will configure the packages without re-flashing first.

Hi dusty_nv,

While my eth cable was connecting to JTX1, I retried running JetPack-L4T-2.3.1-linux-x64.run, ticked CUDA without OpenCV4Tegra on subsequencial GUI on host side, pressed/released PWR/REC/RST buttons by console prompts, saw no change on console, so the workaround mentioned above was found out. Any comment is welcomed.

Baring selecting the correct networking connection option in JetPack (i.e. wired through router vs. wired directly from extra ethernet interface), installing the packages manually as you’ve done should be just fine too. If you require additional packages to install manually, such as TensorRT or Tegra Multimedia API, those can be found under the ‘jetpack_download’ directory that JetPack created.

Also, you may want to append the export PATH and LD_LIBRARY_CONFIG paths to your user’s ~/.bashrc, so these persist after reboot or after re-opening terminal:

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
