Software Installation

  1. Download and run the latest Zivid Software installer.

  2. Select the GPU compute backend to install, matching the GPU you will use with Zivid.

  3. If you are using HALCON, check the option to install GenICam GenTL Producer (Experimental).

  4. Open Zivid Studio and check that no errors occur to verify that the installation was successful.

    Note

    If you run into issues, you may need to install or update GPU drivers.

  5. Proceed to Network Configuration.

Open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T keys on the keyboard.

  1. Create a temporary folder:

    mkdir Zivid && cd Zivid

  2. Download all deb packages:

    Note

    Since SDK 2.18 the main Zivid package is split by GPU compute backend: zivid-cuda (CUDA) and zivid-opencl (OpenCL). Select the tab for the backend matching your GPU.

    Note

    The CUDA backend requires an NVIDIA driver that supports CUDA 12 or newer. See About GPU to install a supported driver.

  5. Proceed to Network Configuration.

Open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T keys on the keyboard.

  1. Create a temporary folder:

    mkdir Zivid && cd Zivid

  2. Download all deb packages:

    Note

    On Jetson, Zivid uses the CUDA compute backend, so the main package is zivid-cuda.

    Note

    The JetPack SDK version you use, if you use JetPack, determines which Zivid deb packages to install.

    Caution

    GenICam/HALCON support is experimental.

  3. Install all packages:

    sudo apt update
sudo apt install ./*.deb

  4. Open Zivid Studio and check that no errors occur to verify that the installation was successful.

  5. Set the Jetson to maximum performance mode:

    Note

    By default, Jetson Orin boards may boot in a reduced power profile that underclocks the GPU and limits the number of active streaming multiprocessors. This can roughly double the point cloud processing time observed by Zivid SDK compared to the maximum power profile (MAXN).

    To enable MAXN and lock all clocks to their highest frequencies, run:

    sudo nvpmodel -m 0 && sudo jetson_clocks

    You can confirm the current power profile with:

    sudo nvpmodel -q

    For more information, see NVIDIA’s official Jetson power management documentation.

  6. Proceed to Network Configuration.
