Nvgpu lost and No devices were found with nvidia-smi

On Jetpack 6 GA.(Jetson Orin nx 16GB) Was trying to install cuda 12.4 and tensorrt 10.
Everything worked fine until I rebooted the device.

Then I got

nvidia-smi
No devices were found

Reverted back to cuda 12.2 but it didn’t help.

Anyway to fix this without reflashing the device?

Hi,

Have you set up the environment package for CUDA 12.4?

We have tested CUDA 12.4 and TensorRT 10.x on Jetson.
And nvidia-smi can work correctly.

Thanks.

Yes., I did it but I removed all cuda 12.2 related packages after the installation. It worked perfectly before I rebooted the device, must be some module got removed

Hi,

We try to reproduce this locally.
Could you share how you installed CDUA and TensorRT so we can give it a try?

Thanks.

Hi

maybe it’s not 100% accurate, but steps are:

  • Install CUDA, I believe in this step the tensorrt
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2204/arm64/cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install cuda-toolkit-12-4 cuda-compat-12-4

Then I removed anything related to cuda 12-2

sudo apt remove cuda-*-12-2
sudo apt remove cuda-toolkit-12-2-config-common
  • Install tensorrt
sudo apt install tensorrt

after reboot then the gpu is lost

Hi,

Thanks for this info.
We will try to reproduce this issue and provide more info to you later.

Thanks

Hi,

We set up a device with JetPack 6 and upgraded the CUDA and TensorRT with your comment.
nvidia-smi can work correctly but we need the below command to access the upgraded CUDA version:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-12.4/compat:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ nvcc --version

Could you reflash the system and try it again?

Thanks.
