A couple of weeks ago I was in a YouTube video which went viral. The video is in a fun format, where Kerry from GenAI Nerds acts as host and interviews guests. Fortunately Dusty from NVIDIA was on the show to answer all the hard questions. Looky here: I’ll point out that I don’t usually let people photograph my aura that you see in the thumbnail here. It’s very special, and requires sensitive photographic equipment to get the full hyper-spectral effect. Dusty is in another short segment: The Interesting Bits These are the first videos on the channel. The channel as of this writing has 1.4 mi ..read more

CUDA Programming in Python with Numba

CUDA programming in Python is a good way to start learning to leverage the power of GPU hardware. At the same time, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to speed up those bottleneck Python functions? Looky here: Background Python has a reputation for being ‘slow’. In part this is because it is an interpreted language. That means that there is software emulating a machine on hardware. The alternative, compiled languages, take source code and compile it directly to the machine language of the hardware on which it runs. Many computer languages have reputations of being fast or slow. Sometimes this is ..read more

JetPack 6 Developer Preview is now out and about! A lot of people have been anticipating this release, which marks a major change in Jetson software distribution. This release will allow people to bring the latest Linux Kernel to Jetson. The release is for Jetson Orin Nano, Jetson Orin NX and Jetson AGX Orin. Other Jetson models are not supported. The release was delayed a bit. It’s been interesting reading comments in the NVIDIA Jetson forums about the timing of the release. I believe that some people don’t understand that because a Jetson is an embedded device, there is a lot more strict tes ..read more

NoMachine is remote desktop software that allows you to connect with any computer through a network connection. NoMachine is popular in the Jetson community. Here we connect a PC running Microsoft Windows to a Jetson Developer Kit. Looky here: Background In a previous article, Run GUI Apps over SSH – NVIDIA Jetson we connect an Ubuntu PC to a Jetson. This technique takes advantage of the Linux X11 forwarding feature. This feature allows graphics to be sent through a SSH (Secure Shell) protocol. SSH is ubiquitous in the Linux networking circles. This technique works quite well when connecting ..read more

Most people know that you can run command line programs over SSH. But a lot of people don’t realize that you can run graphics programs over SSH through a feature called X11 Forwarding. Looky here: X Window System The X Window System version 11 (commonly referred to as X11) is a windowing system commonly used in Linux. It’s fundamental to the graphical user interface (GUI) in most Linux distributions, including the NVIDIA Jetsons. X11 follows a client-server model. The X server communicates with the hardware, such as the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. The X clients are the various applications ..read more

It takes several hours to build OpenCV with CUDA support on a NVIDIA Jetson. In the normal build process, the finished library is installed on the build machine. But what if you want to install it on another machine also? The make build system for OpenCV has a package option! Looky here: Tips and Tricks Building the package for OpenCV is pretty simple. Go to the build directory and then make the package. In the video, we’re using a Jetson Nano, but this works with any Jetson. Assuming that you were following the previous articles and have just finished your build, the commands will look like ..read more

Building OpenCV with CUDA support is a task and a half. Many folks get a surprise when the try to run the result in Python. Fortunately, there’s a solution. Looky here: Background Python is a general purpose programming language which runs on many different machines, architectures and operating systems. As such, there are always quirks and niggles to get things to work correctly. Running Python on Ubuntu is no exception. The Linux for Jetson operating system is based on Ubuntu. Ubuntu is built on a Debian base. Debian is a Linux operating system. The file layout for Debian based systems is sl ..read more

The NVIDIA Jetson Generative AI Lab is a great place to learn about and explore generative AI resources for Jetson. Looky here: The NVIDIA Developer blog has a quite wonderful article about the contents of the Jetson Generative AI Lab. The article is “Bringing Generative AI to Life with NVIDIA Jetson“. The article covers the resources available on the website including benchmarks, tutorials, community articles and technical tips. Most of the tutorials require a NVIDIA Jetson Orin or Jetson Xavier running JetPack 5. There are lots of fun examples, and worth the time to explore to see where AI ..read more
