Depends on what you mean by etc, but to install the latest OS on the board use JetPack - https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetpack. That will give you the latest OS, OpenCV, CUDA, and so on. At that point it is a Ubuntu desktop machine, so "sudo apt-get install" will get you a ton of other stuff if you need it.

And for fixing latency, try maxing out the clocks on board when you start up : http://elinux.org/Jetson/Performance

We've had good luck this year using python for prototyping vision code. See the tutorials at http://opencv24-python-tutorials.rea...tutorials.html. Sure, you're not going to get GPU acceleration from this, but realistically you should be able to get goal detection going at a reasonable speed just using the CPU.
