I downloaded Jetpack 2.3 on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine and I’m running the installer choosing the “Standard” option of packages. I get the following error:

Installing OpenCV for Tegra on Ubunutu 14.04 2.4.13-17 failed.

Return Code: 1
Error: OpenCV4Tegra cannot be installed on host. Please use following command on device to install packages before continuing:
    sudo apt-get install libopencv4tegra libopencv4tegra-dev

I’m not sure why it’s trying to install the Ubuntu 14.04 (also it misspells Ubuntu) on my 16.04 machine.

When I try to install it manually I get

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libopencv4tegra : Depends: libavcodec54 (>= 6:9.1-1) but it is not installable or
                            libavcodec-extra-54 (>= 6:9.18) but it is not installable

                   Depends: libswscale2 (>= 6:9.1-1) but it is not installable

But there’s nothing help or broken as far as I can tell.

Hi zacwite,

The host PC needs to be running Ubuntu 14.04, however, yours is Ubuntu 16.04 machine to cause this issue.

We have mentioned it at JetPack 2.3 portal - [url]https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetpack[/url], also on system requirements section.

Regarding this requirement, it under planning, but schedule is not firm yet.

Thanks
