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.
