Self, an AI Middleware project from IBM, runs on various x86 platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux) in addition to Raspberry Pi 3. This build extends Self for Jetson TX2, in Docker.
For initial Jetson TX2 setup from scratch, including SSD and Docker, follow this guide: https://github.com/open-horizon/cogwerx-jetson-tx1/wiki/Initial-setup:-Jetson-TX1-and-TX2
You'll need a microphone (required) and camera (optional) to interact with Self.
Since many people don't have an I2S Mic set up on their Jetsons, this build supports a USB sound card and microphone (such as this). (ALSA will list the USB mic as card #2 or #3. This repo expects it will be #3, after a USB webcam.)
A USB Webcam such as the common Logitech C720 should work. We're working on enabling the onboard camera also.
Clone this repo into a folder on your TX2
git clone https://github.com/open-horizon/self-jetsontx2.git
cd self-jetsontx2
Build Self docker image (this image will be ~6-7GB, ensure you have sufficient disk space)
docker build -t openhorizon/aarch64-tx2-intu-self:<version> .
Visit IBM.com and register for IBM Cloud services (Speech-to-Text, Text-to-Speech, Natural Language Classification...) Once you've obtained your credentials, you'll run the container and add them to the bootstrap-example.json file in your build directory.
cp ./config/self/bootstrap-example.json ./config/self/bootstrap.json
vim ./config/self/bootstrap.json #fill in the required info
Run the Self container in privileged mode, to ensure access to the cam (#1 for webcam) and mic (#3 for USB sound card), already defined in bootstrap-example.json and alsa.conf:
docker run --name intu-self -it --rm --privileged -p 9443:9443 -v $PWD/test/config/self:/configs openhorizon/aarch64-tx2-intu-self:edge /bin/bash -c "ln -s -f /configs/bootstrap.json bin/linux/etc/shared/; ln -s -f /configs/alsa.conf /usr/share/alsa/; ./bin/bash"
Run Self
/root/src/watson-intu/self/bin/linux/run_self.sh
Visit the Self web UI:
- On your TX2 itself: http://localhost:9443/www/dashboard
- Via some other computer on your LAN http://<TX2_IP_address>:9443/www/dashboard
Ask Self a question: "What is the weather today?"
Once your config is set, subsequent runs of Self may be done directly:
docker run --name intu-self -it --rm --privileged -p 9443:9443 -v $PWD/test/config/self:/configs openhorizon/aarch64-tx2-intu-self:edge /bin/bash -c "ln -s -f /configs/bootstrap.json bin/linux/etc/shared/; ln -s -f /configs/alsa.conf /usr/share/alsa/; ./bin/linux/run_self.sh"
