Getting Started with NVIDIA Jetson TX2

I’ve been playing with Jetson for a couple of days. My first objective is to flash it with all required software to be able to run Python programs that access camera input using OpenCV. Something simple: just get a video stream from a USB camera and output it to the screen. Why I spent two days on this? First, it’s Linux, spending few days compiling libraries, installing dependencies and figuring out compatibility of different libraries is a typical experience when setting up a dev environment on Linux. I’m comparing it with Windows, where developer life is easier, perhaps, because Microsoft provides most developer tools, and you know that Microsoft builds great developer tools. Second, it’s ARM. Many libraries don’t have packages compiled for ARM architecture, so you would need to find where to get them or compile from source. Third, it’s cutting-edge technology where hardware, libraries, and frameworks are updates very often. With that breakneck speed, developers just don’t have time to rapidly update their software to be compatible with the latest version of everything else. <a href="https://medium.com/@surmenok/getting-started-with-nvidia-jetson-tx2-5952a2d8d7ae">Visit Now</a>
