One part it needs is closed

  • Needs NVIDIA JetPack and CUDA: Its containers run on Jetson boards with NVIDIA's JetPack and CUDA, under NVIDIA's own terms.

Overview

What it does: Robotheca's summary

  • Builds containers that combine chosen packages, such as PyTorch, transformers, and ROS2, on the Jetson itself.
  • Provides ready-made images for JetPack/L4T, and a tool that finds or builds a container matching the installed JetPack version.
  • Offers a large catalog of packages covering ML frameworks, LLMs, vision-language models, speech, robotics, and simulation.
  • Lets you change the CUDA version used for the container stack by setting an environment variable.
  • Includes a helper script that can run a local package cache server to speed up later builds.
