Caroline’s Status Report for 04/20

Last week, I worked on changing the voice module to use the GPU instead of the CPU. It involved me configuring CUDA on my device and changing function calls in python. I did see better results when the system was running, but it still needs to be tested with a fully integrated system. I focused on moving our design to the AGX. I had many issues this week while installing it but I have been making progress. First, I realized that there was only 32 GB available on the device given to us, so we had to buy an SSD to continue using it. I had attempted to make progress with just the 32GB, but I used so much storage that the device would no longer boot, and I had to reflash. Then, I got the SSD on Friday and started moving our design to it. I had a lot of trouble making Cuda work, but it currently works as of Saturday morning. Cuda worked easily on my own laptop when I tested this week, but it was very difficult for me on the Jetson. I am almost done working through compatibility issues with our code on the AGX as well.

I am a bit behind schedule. I was hoping to have finished installing things on the AGX earlier in the week, but it was pushed back due to the hardware issue. By the end of Saturday, I expect for our code to fully run on the AGX.

The is coming week, I plan to tweak my UI flutter apps to work smoothly with the overall system. It is already mostly implemented, but it will change slightly when we integrate further.
