Build and install Intel's librealsense for the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit

installLibrealsense.sh

These scripts are for installing the Intel RealSense SDK librealsense on the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit. The current release of librealsense (V2) supports the D415, D435, D435i and T265 cameras. All of the cameras need to have librealsense installed. CUDA support is enabled by default.

Please note that we recommend a SD card size of at least 32GB, 64GB preferred. You can remove the sources and build artifacts of the kernel, see the 'buildKernelAndModules' directory.

During compilation, the installLibrealsense script will run out of memory on the Nano
You will need either to:
* Enable swap memory
OR:
* Modify the script to 'make' with only 1 processor

The scripts default to building with CUDA support. To build and install librealsense WITHOUT CUDA support:

$ ./installLibrealsense.sh -nc

Note: If you are using a RealSense T265 exclusively, this is the only installation necessary. You do not need to patch the modules and kernels as noted below.

patchUbuntu.sh

The patchUbuntu.sh patches kernel modules and installs them to support the RealSense cameras. These patches are for the Depth cameras. The patches include adding the different image formats to the uvcvideo module and timestamping. For the D435i in particular, support for HID interface for the IMU. In addition, a Nano specific patch is added addressing a USB throughput issue. After updating and installing the modules, the script rebuilds the kernel and installs it. To patch the kernel and modules, then install them:
$ ./patchUbuntu.sh

If you run one of the Depth cameras without addressing these issues, you will see the issues listed on the console about not being able to recognize the image formats, along with time stamp issues and so on. You will also notice that the system log is flooded with OOPs related to not being able to recognize the camera formats from the kernel.

Note: If you are building from a USB or some other device than the SD card, you will need to copy the Image file to the /boot directory on the SD card which you will be booting from.

April 30, 2019

installLibrealsense.sh

  • Switch CLI argument to build_with_cuda ; Build with CUDA takes a lot more time because CMake needs to be rebuilt. Default is to build without CUDA support

  • previous commit Add CLI argument build_no_cuda ; script defaults to build with CUDA.

  • D435i is not recognized by RealSense applications, but shows up in Cheese webcam viewer.

April 29, 2019

installLibrealsense.sh

Add CUDACXX flag for compilation using CUDA

Add USE_CUDA flag to script (Defaults to YES)

If using only RealSense T265 camera, this is the only installation necessary

If using the T265, you probably don't need CUDA (still needs to be tested); Set USE_CUDA to false. Saves compilation time

During compilation, the script will run out of memory on the Nano You will need either to:

  • Enable swap memory

OR:

  • Modify the script to 'make' with only 1 processor

patchUbuntu.sh

patchUbuntu will patch all of the needed modules for librealsense, build the modules, and then install the modules. The kernel Image is then built and installed in /boot/Image.

Note: If you are building from a USB or some other device than the SD card, you will need to copy the Image file to the /boot directory on the SD card.
