Where can I get cuda_nvprof for Jetson AGX ORIN

hello：
I have two questions：

linux-ppc64le/
linux-sbsa/
linux-x86_64/
windows-x86_64/

1.I am searching for cuda_nvprof for Jetson devices, but when I found the download link, I only found these platforms. So far, the official has not implemented cuda_nvprof for Jetson platform?
2.I found that the installation package for version 11.7 of cuda_nvprof-linux-x86 includes the cuda_profiler_api.h file, but this header file is no longer available in higher versions. What is the reason for this? Which package should I get this header file from.

Hi,

The legacy profiling tool (nvprof, nvvp) is dropped from JetPack 5.
So it won’t be available for Orin.

But you can find part of the functionality in the Nsight System:

$ nsys nvprof --help

NOTE: The 'nvprof' command is intended to help nvprof users transition to nsys. Many nvprof
switches are not supported by nsys. The full nvprof documentation can be found at
https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/profiler-users-guide. The nvprof transition guide for Nsight
Compute can be found at https://docs.nvidia.com/nsight-compute/NsightComputeCli/index.html#nvprof-guide.

usage: nsys nvprof [<args>] [application] [<application args>]
args:
	--aggregate-mode=
	   Warning: This switch is ignored by nsys.

	--analysis-metrics
	   Warning: This switch is ignored by nsys.

	--annotate-mpi=
	   Possible values are 'off', 'openmpi', or 'mpich'.
	   Automatically annotate MPI calls with NVTX markers.
	   Specify the MPI implementation installed on your machine.
	   Currently, Open MPI and MPICH implementations are supported.
	   Default is 'off'.
	....

Thanks.

thanks，But the issue regarding cuda_profiler_api.h remains unresolved. This header file is required as a dependency in many project compilations. From which package can I obtain it?

Hi,

You can find cuda_profiler_api.h in the below folder:

$ ll /usr/local/cuda-12.6/include/cuda_profiler_api.h 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4566 Aug 14  2024 /usr/local/cuda-12.6/include/cuda_profiler_api.h

Please note that you can install the Nsight System on Jetson with the apt directly:

$ sudo apt install nsight-systems*

Thanks
