Still struggling to run samples :(

pieterc · September 3, 2025, 2:26pm

Good day, trying to compile / run the C++ sample code - but really keep on running getting error- -after-error … here is output of one of a simple sample projects (Jetson inference)

I really would like to get just one (the simplest one) working – then we can try more complex samples)

*** Please note that this reply is generated by LLM automatically ***

I’d be happy to help you troubleshoot the issues you’re facing with compiling and running the C sample code on your Jetson AGX Orin device.

Firstly, I’d like to acknowledge that the Jetson AGX Orin is a powerful device with a complex software architecture, and it’s not uncommon to encounter errors when trying to compile and run sample code.

To better understand the issue, could you please provide more details about the error messages you’re seeing? This will help me narrow down the possible causes and provide more specific guidance.

That being said, here are some general troubleshooting steps you can try:

Verify the toolchain: Make sure you have the correct toolchain installed and configured for your Jetson AGX Orin device. You can refer to the “Jetson Linux Toolchain” section in the documentation for more information.
Check the sample code: Ensure that the sample code you’re trying to compile and run is compatible with your Jetson AGX Orin device. You can check the documentation for the specific sample code you’re using to see if it has any specific requirements or dependencies.
Review the build process: Take a closer look at the build process for the sample code. Make sure that all the necessary dependencies are being linked correctly, and that there are no errors during the compilation process.
Check the environment variables: Verify that the environment variables are set correctly for your Jetson AGX Orin device. This includes variables such as CROSS_COMPILE, ARCH, and TARGET.
Try a different sample code: If you’re still having issues with the sample code you’re trying to compile and run, try using a different sample code to see if the issue is specific to that particular code.

In terms of comparing the Jetson AGX Orin to other devices, it’s worth noting that the Jetson AGX Orin has a unique architecture that requires specific toolchains and software configurations. While some sample code may work on other devices, it may not work on the Jetson AGX Orin without modifications.

To give you a better idea of the differences between the Jetson AGX Orin and other devices, here’s a brief comparison:

Jetson Xavier NX Series: The Jetson Xavier NX Series has a similar architecture to the Jetson AGX Orin, but with some key differences. The Xavier NX Series has a more compact design and is optimized for edge AI applications.
Jetson AGX Xavier Series: The Jetson AGX Xavier Series is a more powerful device than the Jetson AGX Orin, with a more advanced architecture and additional features such as support for PCIe and SATA.
Other devices: Other devices, such as the Raspberry Pi or the NVIDIA Drive PX 2, have different architectures and software configurations that may not be compatible with the Jetson AGX Orin.

I hope this information helps! If you have any further questions or would like more specific guidance, please don’t hesitate to ask.

*** Please give the thumbs up if you get answers you like. Or provide feedback to help us improve the answer. ***

Thank you for reaching out. I will tackle this tomorrow morning when I’m back in the office.

Hi,

Please note that jetson-inference is deprecated since the repo owner has stepped down.
You will need to set up the device with JetPack 6.0 to be compatible with the jetson-inference.
Then you can find the building steps in detail below:

github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-inference

docs/building-repo-2.md

master

<img src="https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-inference/raw/master/docs/images/deep-vision-header.jpg" width="100%">

<br/>
<sup>System Setup</sup></p>   

# Building the Project from Source

Once your Jetson has has been [flashed with JetPack](jetpack-setup-2.md) or setup with the latest [SD card image](https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/learn/get-started-jetson-nano-devkit#write), you should be able to either run the pre-built [Docker container](aux-docker.md), or compile jetson-inference from source.  Either option is also able to install PyTorch for you.

## Quick Reference

If you aren't using the [Docker container](aux-docker.md), here's a condensed form of the commands to build/install the project directly on your Jetson:

``` bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git cmake libpython3-dev python3-numpy
git clone --recursive --depth=1 https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-inference
cd jetson-inference
mkdir build
cd build

Thanks.

libjansson4 is already the newest version (2.12-1build1).

so, libjansson4 is already the newest version but above it complains that it Depends on libjansson4 – mind boggling!

Okay - I’m going back to basics here… following the Tutorial 01 - Say Hello to CUDA .. (@ https://cuda-tutorial.readthedocs.io) .. I used the sample code , compiled it sucessfully but .. I am checking if the method invocation is working .. nope… compiled without error - runs okay - but ya - not the method I am calling…

Hi,

Sorry for the late update.
GPU driver for JetPack 6.x is integrated in the OS, so you don’t need to install it.

To run the jetson-inference sample, please try the following steps:

Set up your device with JetPack 6.0 with all components installed.
Build the repo from source with the command in this link.

Thanks.
