Jetson Zoo

This page contains instructions for installing various open source add-on packages and frameworks on NVIDIA Jetson, in addition to a collection of DNN models for inferencing.

Below are links to container images and precompiled binaries built for aarch64 (arm64) architecture. These are intended to be installed on top of JetPack.

Note that JetPack comes with various pre-installed components such as the L4T kernel, CUDA Toolkit, cuDNN, TensorRT, VisionWorks, OpenCV, GStreamer, Docker, and more.

= Machine Learning =

Jetson is able to natively run the full versions of popular machine learning frameworks, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, Caffe2, Keras, and MXNet.

There are also helpful deep learning examples and tutorials available, created specifically for Jetson - like Hello AI World and JetBot.

Docker Containers
There are ready-to-use ML and data science containers for Jetson hosted on NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC), including the following:
