Thanks for posting this, I'm also very interested in the Jetson+GRIP scenario, and eager to hear others' experiences/insight there.
It seems like this is possible, but I'm not sure all the connective tissue has developed yet.
This thread on GRIP's Github relates to getting GRIP running on Raspberry Pi 2, which is the same ARM architecture as Jetson.
Last night I installed java 8 on the Jetson, and tried to run the Linux ARM build of the GRIP .jar file
provided here (via that Pi thread by user "multiplemonomials"). This started without any architecture/platform errors, but threw an exception about missing some libs, such as NetworkTables. A build of those libs was
posted here, which might fix that issue, but I have not had a chance to try them.
I haven't done much yet with an actual camera. I have an older Logitech that the Jetson recognizes as a USB device, but that's as far as I've gone. I have a newer Logitech C920 on order that's
confirmed to work on Jetson, but I don't yet know if that will still require installing drivers, etc.
If anyone has more experience with GRIP on the Jetson TK1, please share!
