Tensorflow installation fails on NV Xavier Nx Dev kit due to grpcio failing to compile because of __wrap_memcpy dependency

[avinashsodani]

I recently purchased NV Xavier NX dev kit. I installed the SD card image from (https://developer.nvidia.com/jetson-nx-developer-kit-sd-card-image). It boots fine and I’m able to run the sample CUDA and tensorRT code.

For installing Tensorflow, I followed instructions from (Installing TensorFlow for Jetson Platform :: NVIDIA Deep Learning Frameworks Documentation)

The tensorflow fails because during compilation of grpcio wheel it encounters unknown reference to __wrap_memcpy.

The grpcio pkg it picks up is grpcio-1.31.0.tar.gz

I’ve tried the following:

• Update setuptools (using version 50.0.0)
• Update pip3 (using 20.2.2)

Any suggestions on what the issue might be and how to fix or workaround it?

Hi,

There is an issue in grpcio:

[setuptools] [distutils] Python builds failed on master

Currently, please downgrade setuptools to 49.6.0 and it should work.

Unable to install tensorflow in jetson nano

Problem is with setuptools. Downgrade it to 49.6.0 and try installing it will work. $ sudo pip3 install setuptools==49.6.0 $ sudo pip3 install grpcio==1.31.0 This is for Jetpack4.3 and Python 3.6.9.

Thanks.
