SDK Manager 1.7.2 for jetson devices do not offer JetPack 4.4.1

I want to install nsight systems for profiling on my Jetson AGX Xavier. I had installed sdkmanager previously on my host system (Ubuntu 18.04). However it updated to the latest version, and now it does not have Jetpack 4.4.1 in its product version options, only 4.5 and up. I do not want to flash the Xavier again, but just install additional components.
Should I install a previous sdkmanager version to get the 4.4.1 compatibility?

Thanks, that worked!
But I ran into an error : Installation failed. The error was in multimedia API. Relevant part of the logs:

I did try updating nvidia-l4t-multimedia on the target, and also tried downgrading it. But then it got into a dependency mess. How can I complete the installation through sdkmanager?

Hi csaparna,

Please try below command to install MMAPI by manually:

sudo apt update
sudo apt list -a nvidia-l4t-jetson-multimedia-api
sudo apt install nvidia-l4t-jetson-multimedia-api=32.4.4-20201016123640

Thanks for the response. This command gives error. Below is the output:

$ sudo apt install nvidia-l4t-jetson-multimedia-api=32.4.4-20201016123640

The currently installed version is 32.4.4-20201027211332 arm64

Also, in the sdkmanager, the host side installation is shown as complete. However the folder location it refers to only has documentation files. The tree created is as below:

aparna@CyberMed-R6-1:~$ cd nvidia/
aparna@CyberMed-R6-1:~/nvidia$ ls
nvidia_sdk
aparna@CyberMed-R6-1:~/nvidia$ cd nvidia_sdk/
aparna@CyberMed-R6-1:~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk$ ls
JetPack_4.4.1_Linux  JetPack_4.4.1_Linux_JETSON_AGX_XAVIER
aparna@CyberMed-R6-1:~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk$ cd JetPack_4.4.1_Linux
aparna@CyberMed-R6-1:~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_4.4.1_Linux$ ls
documentations
aparna@CyberMed-R6-1:~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_4.4.1_Linux$

Then where would be the applications such as NSight?

Hi csaparna,

Please replaced below version to install MMAPI:
sudo apt install nvidia-l4t-jetson-multimedia-api=32.4.4-20201027211332

The Nsight path on your host machine: /usr/local/cuda-10.2/bin/

Thanks! I can see that all the host components are installed. This version of MMAPI is already installed on target. So can I ignore the error that I get on sdkmanager and just consider it finished?

Hi csaparna,

Yes, thanks for your update.

Hi carolyuu,

The Nsight path is as you have mentioned above. However when I tried to launch nsight on this host device, I got error messages:

/usr/local/cuda-10.2/bin$ ./nsight-sys 
Error: Nsight Systems 2019.5.2 hasn't been installed with CUDA Toolkit 10.2

Also,

/usr/local/cuda-10.2/bin$ ./nsight

This opened the Workspace Launcher . However, then it gave an error message:
An error has occurred. See the log file
/home/aparna/cuda-workspace/.metadata/.log.

I have attached this log file.
.log (324.4 KB)

Then, how should I go about profiling a script in my target Tegra device from this Ubuntu host?

Hi csaparna,

From logs, your host machine doesnā€™t install CUDA toolkit 10.2.
Please use SDK Manager to install again on your host machine.

This is what the SDK manager shows:

It says that CUDA Toolkit is installed. But it is also weird that the path shown as where it is installed does not have any of those files.

How do I correct the installation?

Hi csaparna,

Please back to step 1 and click ā€œRepair/Uninstallā€ to try again.
Thanks!
