I am working on Jetson TX2 and currently I am facing some issues to get the camera up and running. Due to project restrictions, I am using CUDA 9.0 with Python 3.5, Jetpack 3.3 version. I installed ZED SDK 2.8.5 which matches the above specs.
Now when I install the ZED SDK and tried connecting to the TX2 board, it is not detected and also the firmware tab in the settings is disabled as well.
I am not sure if I can upgrade the ZED SDK and still have CUDA 9.0 and other required specs.
I won’t be able to answer, but I’m pretty sure ZED has available CUDA-10 compatible software as well. Is there a specific reason why you need CUDA 9 if the ZED itself has version 10 compatibility? JetPack 4.x (L4T R32.x) would provide CUDA 10.
Is this camera USB? If so, then something you would do (aside from installing software from the ZED site) is to monitor “dmesg --follow”, and show the logs which show up as a result of plugging in the USB cable.
Reboot your jetson without ZED camera, then open a terminal and launch:
sudo dmesg --follow
and share what happens when you plug your USB ZED camera in.
# In my case using AGX Orin running R35.1 I get:

Also, if you know the video node number created for your ZED camera in /dev/videoX, you may also try to see what gives:

Note that in my own case it won’t display all available modes, only 1344x376@15. Probably I have to update firmware from ZED SDK.

ZED SDK installation complete !
I’m pretty much useless for Python administration, so I can’t really help with that. I do see it is basically a version issue though. Are you still working with CUDA 9 and JetPack 3.3? Going to CUDA 10 and JetPack 4.x would be a huge leap forward in terms of compatibility, and I’m pretty sure the ZED camera can work with JetPack 4.x (L4T R32.x).
