MATLAB® Coder™ Support Package for NVIDIA® Jetson™ and NVIDIA DRIVE™ Platforms supports the following development boards:
NVIDIA Jetson Xavier™ NX.
NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier.
NVIDIA Jetson Nano™.
NVIDIA Jetson TX2.
NVIDIA Jetson TX1.
NVIDIA DRIVE PX2.
The support package uses an SSH connection over TCP/IP to execute commands while building and running the generated code on the DRIVE or Jetson platforms. Connect the target platform to the same network as the host computer. Alternatively, use an Ethernet crossover cable to connect the board directly to the host computer.
Use the JetPack or the DriveInstall software to install the OS image, developer
tools, and the libraries required for developing applications on the
Jetson or DRIVE platforms. You can use the Component
Manager
in the JetPack
or the
DriveInstall
software to select the components to
be installed on the target hardware. For installation instructions,
refer to the NVIDIA board documentation. At a minimum, you must install:
CUDA® toolkit.
cuDNN library.
TensorRT library.
OpenCV library.
GStreamer library (v1.0 or higher) for deployment of the
videoReader
function.
The MATLAB Coder Support Package for NVIDIA Jetson and NVIDIA DRIVE Platforms has been tested with the following JetPack and DRIVE SDK versions:
Hardware Platform | Software Version |
---|---|
Jetson Xavier NX, AGX Xavier, TX2/TX1, Nano | JetPack 4.4.1 |
DRIVE | DRIVE SDK 5.0.10.3-12606092 |
Install the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL v1.2) library, V4L2 library, and V4L2 utilities for running the webcam examples. You must also install the development packages for these libraries.
For deploying the Audio File Read Simulink® block, install the Sound eXchange (SoX) utility and its development and format libraries.
For example, on Ubuntu, use the apt-get
command to
install these libraries.
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev v4l-utils sox libsox-fmt-all libsox-dev
The support package uses environment variables to locate the necessary tools, compilers, and libraries required for code generation. Ensure that the following environment variables are set.
Variable Name | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|
PATH | /usr/local/cuda/bin | Path to the CUDA toolkit executable on the Jetson or DRIVE platform. |
LD_LIBRARY_PATH | /usr/local/cuda/lib64 | Path to the CUDA library folder on the Jetson or DRIVE platform. |
Ensure that the required environment variables are accessible from
non-interactive SSH logins. For example, you can use the
export
command at the beginning of the
$HOME/.bashrc
shell configuration file to add the
environment variables.
Alternatively, you can set system-wide environment variables in the
/etc/environment
file. You must have
sudo
privileges to edit this file.
