You can also use pre-built docker containers with CUDA support, such as nvidia/cuda:10.0-cudnn7-devel-ubuntu16.04 (note that some licenses can be unavailable in this case).
NVIDIA Jetson
- System requirements:
- JetPack 4.3 or 4.4*
* Tests were performed on the Jetson TX2 and Jetson NX modules.
You can select jetson_jetpack_4.3_4.4
component in Face SDK installation wizard. By default, it uses the build for jetpack 4.4. If a build for jetpack 4.3 is required, move all files from the lib/jetpack-4.3 directory to the lib directory.
