Installing CUDA 11.7 (or other) on Jetson

  • Flashed a Xavier Orin with latest Jetpack 5 preview
  • Didn’t install CUDA
  • Followed the instructions here to install CUDA 11.7

Result:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-J7Xtt4/21-libnvidia-compute-515_515.43.04-0ubuntu1_arm64.deb
 /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-J7Xtt4/25-libnvidia-gl-515_515.43.04-0ubuntu1_arm64.deb
 /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-J7Xtt4/32-nvidia-utils-515_515.43.04-0ubuntu1_arm64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Now I get a bunch of apt dependancy errors. Any ideas?

Thank you!

Hi @logidelic, those packages are for ARM SBSA (ARM server) with discrete GPU. Jetson uses the CUDA packages for integrated GPU that come with JetPack. These aren’t intended to be upgraded independently of JetPack.
