+# Running Ollama on NVIDIA Jetson Devices
+
+With some minor configuration, Ollama runs well on [NVIDIA Jetson Devices](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/autonomous-machines/embedded-systems/). The following has been tested on [JetPack 5.1.2](https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetpack).
+
+NVIDIA Jetson devices are Linux-based embedded AI computers that are purpose-built for AI applications.
+
+Jetsons have an integrated GPU that is wired directly to the memory controller of the machine. For this reason, the `nvidia-smi` command is unrecognized, and Ollama proceeds to operate in "CPU only"
+mode. This can be verified by using a monitoring tool like jtop.
+
+In order to address this, we simply pass the path to the Jetson's pre-installed CUDA libraries into `ollama serve` (while in a tmux session). We then hardcode the num_gpu parameters into a cloned
+version of our target model.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- curl
+- tmux
+
+Here are the steps:
+
+- Install Ollama via standard Linux command (ignore the 404 error): `curl https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh`
+- Stop the Ollama service: `sudo systemctl stop ollama`
+- Start Ollama serve in a tmux session called ollama_jetson and reference the CUDA libraries path: `tmux has-session -t ollama_jetson 2>/dev/null || tmux new-session -d -s ollama_jetson 
+'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64 ollama serve'`
+- Pull the model you want to use (e.g. mistral): `ollama pull mistral`
+- Create a new Modelfile specifically for enabling GPU support on the Jetson: `touch ModelfileMistralJetson`
+- In the ModelfileMistralJetson file, specify the FROM model and the num_gpu PARAMETER as shown below:
+
+```
+FROM mistral
+PARAMETER num_gpu 999
+```
+
+- Create a new model from your Modelfile: `ollama create mistral-jetson -f ./ModelfileMistralJetson`
+- Run the new model: `ollama run mistral-jetson`
+
+If you run a monitoring tool like jtop you should now see that Ollama is using the Jetson's integrated GPU.
+
+And that's it!
