cd ${HOME}/NVIDIA-INSTALLER
sudo ./installer.sh
When TX1 is rebooted after these two commands, the Linux OS with user interface will start. Nvidia offers a software development kit (SDK), which contains all of the software needed for building computer vision and deep learning applications, along with the target OS to flash the development board. This SDK is called JetPack. The latest JetPack contains Linux for Tegra (L4T) board support packages; TensorRT, which is used for deep learning inference in computer vision applications; the latest CUDA toolkit, cuDNN, which is a CUDA deep neural network library; VisionWorks, which is also used for computer vision and deep learning...
