1. flash the TX2

1.1 download jetpack L4T 3.0

Follow flash-small-TX2 to flash the TX2

Warning:

do not install OpenCV4Tegra V2.4 for TX2, we will use OpenCV3
for TX2 you may need to flash it tiwce, one just flash the OS, the other install cuda
if the tx1/tx2 cannot boot the GUI, but shut down after finish loading BIOS, try to change a more powerful power source

After flash, the system can be launch.

username: nvidia

password: nvidia

2. Install basic tools

connect host and TX2 on the same local network, install arp-scan and run: `sudo arp-scan --interface=eth0 192.168.1.0/24 | grep NVIDIA' find your TX2 device.

ssh to your TX2 and run:

sudo apt-get install git

mkdir setup

cd setup

git clone https://github.com/gaowenliang/TX2-TX1-setup.git

sudo ./install.sh

sudo reboot

to install USB device and reboot.

run one by one:

sudo apt-get install terminator -y

sudo apt-get install cmake -y

sudo apt-get install vim -y

sudo apt-get install htop

3. Install ROS

follow ROS

follow installROSTX2

4. Eigen manuly

install Eigen stable release V3.3.3

follow eigen

it will fail 6 ctest cases out of 798
or if you build BTL, fail 13 ctest cases out of 832

host:

scp ~/Downloads/eigen-eigen-67e894c6cd8f.tar.bz2 ubuntu@<YOUR_SSH PATH>:~/

TX2: cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DEIGEN_TEST_CXX11=ON -DEIGEN_CUDA_COMPUTE_ARCH=62 -DEIGEN_BUILD_BTL=ON

make check this step will take really a long time. Not necessary to check.

Then run: sudo make install

5. ceres manly

normal install, without eigen, need pass all ctest cases

typical Ceres test bench mark is 131s for TX2

ceres-solver.org/ceres-solver-1.12.0.tar.gz

sudo apt-get install libgoogle-glog-dev

sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev -y

sudo apt-get install libsuitesparse-dev -y

tar zxf ceres-solver-1.12.0.tar.gz

mkdir ceres-bin

cd ceres-bin

cmake ../ceres-solver-1.12.0 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local

make -j4

make test

make install

6. Download buildOpencvTX2, remove libeigen3-dev, install Opencv manuly

follow buildOpenCVTX2 in opencv V3.2.0 opencv_test_cudev will fail, but acturally, it success, ctest made a wrong test compare between 2.0 and 2.

SDL

`sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2-dev

and

sudo apt-get install libsdl-dev

some useful scropts

monitor the CPU temperture

watch -n 1 cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp

check CUDA version

nvcc -V

use Manifold2 board USBs

test Ethernet speeed

$ sudo apt-get install iperf
#start server
$ sudo iperf -s
#start client
$ sudo iperf -c 192.168.1.xxx -i 5

install SSH keys

ssh-copy-id user@123.45.56.78

bash tools

devlist

devlist is

aliased to `sudo arp-scan --interface=eth0 192.168.1.0/24 | grep NVIDIA'

dev

devlist is aliased to `sudo arp-scan --interface=eth0 192.168.1.0/24 | grep NVIDIA' dev is a function

dev () 
{ 
    local ip="$(sudo arp-scan --interface=eth0 192.168.1.0/24 | grep NVIDIA | sed -n $1p | cut -d'	' -f 1)";
    echo "ssh into $ip";
    ssh nvidia@$ip
}
