Nano jetson devlopment kit

How can boot this device from flash ?

Hi babbelal.patel,

Please follow the Getting Started With Jetson Nano Developer Kit | NVIDIA Developer

Hi ,

I am following your suggesting link but here mention only about SD card boot. But i need device boot from emmc.

Hi babbelal.patel,

Please follow the Install Jetson Software with SDK Manager :: NVIDIA SDK Manager Documentation to install the SDKM to flash your Nano via JetPack.

HI Team,

I have one jetson nano developer kit and i want to read GPU load when run application on Opencv. I am unable to install nvidia-smi on board.

Please let me know how can read GPU load??

regards,
Babbelal patel

Hi babbelal.patel,

Please refer to Tegrastats utility:
https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/l4t/index.html#page/Tegra%2520Linux%2520Driver%2520Package%2520Development%2520Guide%2FAppendixTegraStats.html

I am not getting Gpu temperature command in documents. I have build Opencv with WITH_CUDA=ON flag. After build i have run simple app which read camera frame in while. I am looking CPU uses 100%.

Can you give some command that we could check GPU load and GPU temperature ?

hello babbelal.patel,

you may enable Tegrastats utility for checking, it’s GR3D to represent the GPU engine. you’ll found it reports the current running frequency. thanks

Hi jerry,

I am getting error when run below commands So please let me know how can install it on Nano jetson development kit.

/core/utils/tegrastats
-bash: top: No such file or directory

regards,
Babbelal

hello babbelal.patel,

may I know how you install JetPack images, are you using SDKmanager?
there should be tegrastats installed by default, you should execute it directly to show the reports.

could you please share your l4t release version, you may check sysnode as below.
for example, it shows l4t-r32.4.2

$ cat /etc/nv_tegra_release
# R32 (release), REVISION: 4.2, GCID: 20074772, BOARD: t210ref, EABI: aarch64, DATE: Thu Apr  9 01:22:12 UTC 2020

Hi jerry,

I have boot device from sd card using Etcher as below link.

Please my below command outputs.
cimcon@linux:~$ cat /etc/nv_tegra_release
cat: /etc/nv_tegra_release: No such file or directory
cimcon@linux:~$ uname -r
4.9.140-tegra
cimcon@linux:~$ uname -a
Linux linux 4.9.140-tegra #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 8 18:10:49 PDT 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
cimcon@linux:~$

regards,
Babbelal

hello babbelal.patel,

it’s expected that SD card images did not contain nv_tegra_release system nodes for release version, you should found the release version from the downloaded zip file.

BTW,
it’s ubuntu utility, you may also check Ubuntu Packages Search for necessary packages.
for example,
/usr/bin/top [procps](https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/procps)
after that,
you should able to enable top commands by installing procps package by $ sudo apt-get install procps.
thanks

Hi jerry,

I have install procps and check top command output. Here i am not looking GPU details. Please check my below log.

I have install https://developer.nvidia.com/jetson-nano-sd-card-image using Etcher. please suggest if any requirement for getting CPU load details.

Have available Debian Image for this board ??

babbelal.patel,

If you want to get GPU load, how about use this ?

VERY simple to install and use.

And tegrastats and nv_tegra_release are in the Jetson nano developer kit not in the host pc.
If you write a microSD card image and boot Nano dev. kit without trouble, they should be in the expected folders.

  • /etc/nv_tegra_release
  • /usr/bin/tegrastats

Hi jerry,

I am not getting nv_tegra_release & tegrastats after install jetson-stats
Please see my log.

babbelal.patel,

Your SD card image has some problem I think.
How about flash fusing again?

OK , Share me some link which we can load image and run opencv app and get GPU details.

babbelal.patel,

As user manual says, download SD image from Jetson download center or use SDKManager.
It should install NVIDIA tools and OpenCV as well.

Could you share when something wrong?

Please send me Image and user manual links.

babbelal.patel,

Please refer this links: Jetson Download Center | NVIDIA Developer
You can find Jetson Nano developer kit image and SDK manager howto as well.
