Resize the Size of Swap Memory

The swap memory allows for "extra memory" when there is memory pressure on main (physical) memory. Memory of Jetson Nano (4GB) may not be sufficient for a smooth execution of Asilla SDK client, so you need to resize the swap memory from 2GB to 8GB.

  1. Open the Zram config file
    2. sudo gedit /etc/systemd/nvzramconfig.sh
    The size of the Zram for each CPU is calculated by the line:
    mem=$((("${totalmem}" / 2 / "${NRDEVICES}") * 1024))
    where totalmem is the total amount of memory, and NRDEVICES is the number of CPUs.
  2. Edit this equation to increase the memory 4 times
    3. mem=$((("${totalmem}" / 2 / "${NRDEVICES}") * 1024 * 4))
  3. Click Save and Reboot.
Set "Power Management Mode"

Set “Power Management Mode” to to Maximum Performance NVIDIA for Jetson Xavier NX by the below command:

sudo /usr/sbin/nvpmodel -m 0
