is it possible to install retro pie on nvidia jetson dev kit

i think it would be nice plus the tegra k1 is really powerful and the kepler gpu would enhance the graphics

I second this. I have a Jetson TK1 and after trying to install RetroPie using the install script,
I hit this roadblock:

model name : ARMv7 Processor rev 3 (v7l)
Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfp v3 tls vfpv4 idiva idivt
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant : 0x3
CPU part : 0xc0f
CPU revision : 3

Hardware : jetson-tk1
Revision : 0000
Serial : 0177000042440000
Processor : ARMv7 Processor rev 3 (v7l)

root@tegra-ubuntu:/usr/src/RetroPie-Setup# ./retropie_setup .sh

Unknown platform - please manually set the __platform varia ble to one of the following: armv7-mali generic-x11 imx6 od roid-c1 rpi1 rpi2 rpi3 rpi3-64 x86
root@tegra-ubuntu:/usr/src/RetroPie-Setup#

The Jetson TK1 would be a perfect upgrade from a Raspberry Pi with it's GPU/CPU combo. What would it take to get the RetroPie setup script to recognize the the board and enable the specific build flags needed to really make this combo shine?

Ponyo

After hacking on the RetroPie scripts I think I have come up with a solution. I currently have RetroPie compiling on a Jetson TK1. If this completes I'll submit a PR with the changes needed for Jetson.

You can try "sudo __platform=generic-x11 retropie_setup.sh". Nvidia jetson supports full OpenGL?!

After runing overnight, this is where the build script dies. I'll work on it some more after work today, but it's looking promising. :)

I'm close, but I just don't have time to work on this until tonight :)

I've been working on it and I think I have a mostly working solution! I'm having a bit of trouble with joystick configuration, but after reading last night before bed, it seems like it was just a configuration error on my part. As soon as I have it working smoothly, I'll post a write up on how to do it. :) So far the basic tests I've seen have all ran really well and this is looking like it's going to be a great combination of hardware and software.

Hopefully this weekend I'll have time to do a formal write up of my findings and get a PR submitted upstream for everyone to enjoy.

@Ponyo hi, did you continue your project?

fiveseven808

Reviving a dead topic lol.

I have a TK1 as well and I can't find any/much information on this other than this post. I recently install retopie with the generic-x11 parameter set, but I run into the following error:

lvl0: Error initializing SDL!
No available video device
lvl0: Renderer failed to initialize!
lvl0: Window failed to initialize!

During the build, I got the following errors upon completion:
could not build mpupen64plus

please see

I guess the next thing to try is the above .sh modifications?
@Ponyo Could you please post your mostly working solution? If I could just see signs of life, I'd be much happier lol.
