The Nsight Systems 2018.3.1 package is for profiling on x86 targets. To profile on Tegra targets you will need the Tegra version. You can download that package as part of JetPack - JetPack SDK | NVIDIA Developer

Let us know if that does not fix the issue.

Hello,
Since you are trying to connect to the Tx2 board, you need to use Tegra version of the tool (as Holly suggested). When using the Tegra version, could you enable the verbose logging and share the log file?

To enable the logging, please rename nvlog.config.template file (in Host-x86_64 directory) and restart the tool. After you get the error message, close the tool. The nsight-sys.log file should appear in current directory (Host-x86_64). Please share this log file.

I tried to use Nsight in Linux PC and connection to Tx2 via ethernet.

And finally it works. I don’t know how to use Nsight System in Window OS.
Anyway it works :)

Thanks !!
