How to Develop Software on the Vertex One Onboard Computing Module

Introduction

Vertex One is equipped by default with an onboard computing module, which is based on Nvidia Jetson NX series This section describes way of developing on this onboard module, explains best practices and provides tools to help you out developing your application efficiently.

Connecting to Onboard Computing Module

To connect to the onboard computing module using Cerebra Lab, follow these steps (Gen3) or steps (Gen4)

Warning

When connecting to the onboard computing module for the first time it is highly recommended to change the default password. Follow these steps on changing the password: How to change password (External Link)

Best Practices

There are docker containers pre-installed on the onboard computing module. The way of working was designed to minimize the risk of influencing other parts of the pre-installed software or break functionality of Vertex One. Please read the details as described in this section.

Warning

It is highly recommended to only develop in a docker container and not develop on the Host. Any changes made in a docker container are easily reverted. While changes to the Host OS may break the functionality of the Vertex One.
