Building on Jetson

1. Install JetPack

JetPack includes the collection of CUDA-related libraries that is required to run PyTorch with CUDA.

Please refer to https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/learn/get-started-jetson-agx-orin-devkit for the up-to-date instruction.

sudo bash -c 'echo "deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common r34.1 main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-l4t-apt-source.list'
sudo bash -c 'echo "deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/t234 r34.1 main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-l4t-apt-source.list'

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

# REBOOT

sudo apt install nvidia-jetpack

Checking the versions

To check the version installed you can use the following commands;

# JetPack
$ apt list --installed | grep nvidia-jetpack

nvidia-jetpack-dev/stable,now 5.0.1-b118 arm64 [installed,automatic]
nvidia-jetpack-runtime/stable,now 5.0.1-b118 arm64 [installed,automatic]
nvidia-jetpack/stable,now 5.0.1-b118 arm64 [installed]

# CUDA
$ apt list --installed | grep cuda-toolkit

cuda-toolkit-11-4-config-common/stable,now 11.4.243-1 all [installed,automatic]
cuda-toolkit-11-4/stable,now 11.4.14-1 arm64 [installed,automatic]
cuda-toolkit-11-config-common/stable,now 11.4.243-1 all [installed,automatic]
cuda-toolkit-config-common/stable,now 11.4.243-1 all [installed,automatic]

# cuDNN
$ apt list --installed | grep cudnn

libcudnn8-dev/stable,now 8.3.2.49-1+cuda11.4 arm64 [installed,automatic]
libcudnn8-samples/stable,now 8.3.2.49-1+cuda11.4 arm64 [installed,automatic]
libcudnn8/stable,now 8.3.2.49-1+cuda11.4 arm64 [installed,automatic]
nvidia-cudnn8-dev/stable,now 5.0.1-b118 arm64 [installed,automatic]
nvidia-cudnn8-runtime/stable,now 5.0.1-b118 arm64 [installed,automatic]

2. [Optional] Install jtop

Since Tegra GPUs are not supported by nvidia-smi command, it is recommended to isntall jtop.

Only super-use can install jtop. So make sure to add -U, so that running jtop won’t require super-user priviledge.

3. Install pip in user env

By default, pip / pip3 commands use the ones from system directory /usr/bin/, and its site-packages directory is protected and cannot be modified without sudo.

One way to workaround this is to install pip in user directory.

https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/python-3-module-install-folder/181321

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py --user

After this verify that pip command is pointing the one in user directory.

$ which pip
/home/USER/.local/bin/pip

4. Install PyTorch

As of PyTorch 1.13 and torchaudio 0.13, there is no official pre-built binaries for Linux ARM64. Nidia provides custom pre-built binaries for PyTorch, which works with specific JetPack.

Please refer to https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/frameworks/install-pytorch-jetson-platform/index.html for up-to-date instruction on how to install PyTorch.

$ package=torch-1.13.0a0+340c4120.nv22.06-cp38-cp38-linux_aarch64.whl
$ wget "https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/jp/v50/pytorch/${package}"
$ pip install --no-cache "${package}"

Verify the installation by checking the version and CUDA device accessibility.

$ python -c '

import torch
print(torch.__version__)
print(torch.cuda.is_available())
print(torch.empty((1, 2), device=torch.device("cuda")))
'
1.13.0a0+410ce96a.nv22.12
True
tensor([[0., 0.]], device='cuda:0')

5. Build TorchAudio

1. Install build tools

pip install cmake ninja

2. Install dependencies

sudo apt install ffmpeg libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavdevice-dev libavfilter-dev

3. Build TorchAudio

git clone https://github.com/pytorch/audio
cd audio
USE_CUDA=1 pip install -v -e . --no-use-pep517

4. Check the installation

import torchaudio

print(torchaudio.__version__)

torchaudio.utils.ffmpeg_utils.get_build_config()
