GPU not detected on ZED Box Mini

Software
1

Hello, I am having an issue with the Zed Box Mini.
It seems the GPU or CUDA is not correctly detected
I don’t remember using a particular command that caused the issue, I just tried to install SDK 5.3 and then found the error. Don’t know if the installation caused this.

I am using jetpack 6.2.1, L4T 36.4.7

The Zed X driver was installed by using:
sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=nvidia-l4t-kernel "$TEMP_DIR/stereolabs-zedx-driver.deb"

I tried uninstalling CUDA and reinstalling by using the ZED SDK isntallation but I get the same error.

To uninstall CUDA I used:
sudo apt-get purge "cuda*" "libcudnn*" "libnvinfer*" -y
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge -y
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/cuda*

Hi @Alessio-Parmeggiani

This is not a good approach on Jetson because CUDA is normally installed with the Jetpack packages.

Please try this procedure to recover the device. If it does not work, then a flash to reset it is required.

Reinstall the BSP and JetPack components:

# Make sure apt sources are intact
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-l4t-apt-source.list
# Should contain:
#   deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common r36.4 main
#   deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/t234   r36.4 main

sudo apt update

# Reinstall the L4T GPU userspace driver (this is what was nuked)
sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-l4t-cuda nvidia-l4t-3d-core nvidia-l4t-multimedia nvidia-l4t-core

# Pull the full JetPack stack back in (CUDA toolkit, cuDNN, TensorRT, VPI, etc.)
sudo apt install nvidia-jetpack

# Resolve any half-installed state from the original purge
sudo apt --fix-broken install -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite"

sudo reboot

After reboot:

ls -la /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/tegra/libcuda.so.1   # should resolve

Then reinstall the ZED SDK, and perform a test:

ZED_Diagnostic                     # should pass GPU + CUDA tests

Thanks for the answer! I followed your instructions but I get the same issue, I’ll try flashing again the zed box

I completed the flash following the documentation but now I can’t see the wifi settings on the zed box, and I can’t connect to a wifi network.
There is something I can do or do I need an ethernet cable?

You must install the ZED X Driver package, which also contains the WiFi drivers.

You can download the installer with another PC and use a USB key to move it to the Jetson.
