ZED_SDK Installation error on Docker for Jetson Thor

Hi Team,

First of all, Thanks for the SDK 5.1. It is amazing in many ways.

I am working with ZED and Jetson Thor at the moment. I am able to install SDK 5.1 on the Host system and it work perfectly fine. But when I try to install it inside the docker container (Custom dockerfile script), it fails with the following error.

&& rm /tmp/zed_sdk_installer.zstd.run && [ -f /usr/local/bin/ZED_Sensor_Viewer ] || (echo “ZED install failed” && exit 1);:
0.390 /var/cache/downloads/zed_sdk_installer.zstd.run: OK

Below is the Dockerfile snippet for this error.

I built the base image from dusty-nv container.
robot/image:r38.4.arm64-sbsa-cu130-24.04-cuda

I understand that the installer looks for l4t inside the dockerfile, but in the Jetson orin AGX or other devices, I have never faced this problem. It never checked for it strictly. Only on runtime I am able to install the SDK and not in building stage. During runtime, it mounts /etc/nv_tegra_release and I am able to install it.

Let me know if there is a fix or workaround for it.

Hi,

The plan was to release a JP7 docker image but official images (even unofficial) were not available. Good catch on this one, it seems to match.

I would advise to just create the file with the version ie: zed-docker/5.X/l4t/devel/Dockerfile at 4bd5d4b103ab7f5f8aba1515013148f90b739d9d · stereolabs/zed-docker · GitHub

echo "# R38 (release), REVISION: 2.0" > /etc/nv_tegra_release ;

For the missing package, just install file, I would use something like this:

apt-get update ; apt-get install --no-install-recommends lsb-release wget less udev zstd sudo apt-transport-https build-essential cmake file -y

Also it’s not well documented but you can pin the 5.1.0 with the URL, ie:

https://download.stereolabs.com/zedsdk/5.1.0/l4t38.2/jetsons

Every patches are supported to avoid having the latest one if you want a specific version
