  • 6th or newer generation Intel Core processors
  • 1st or newer generation of Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors
  • Intel Atom® processor with Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.2 (Intel® SSE4.2)

To run with OpenVino with IGP / GPU:

  • 6th or newer generation Intel Core processor with Intel® Iris® Plus and Intel® Iris® Pro graphics and Intel HD Graphics
  • 11th or newer generation Intel Core processor with Xe architecture
  • Intel Xeon processor with Intel® Iris® Plus and Intel Iris Pro graphics and Intel HD Graphics (excluding the e5 family which does not include graphics)
  • Intel® Iris® Xe MAX Graphics

Windows

Requirements

Running

After downloading the Windows release package, extract it to a folder and run the CVEDIA-RT.bat file:

Start Application

Linux

Requirements

CVEDIA-RT will work with any Linux distro that can run dockers or with minimum glibc 2.27 (2.31 recommended) natively with deb packages.

CVEDIA-RT works on x86_64, aarch64, armv7a and armhf ISAs.

CVEDIA-RT been tested on Ubuntu 18 and 20, other platforms and systems are not supported / tested.

Docker install

  • 16G disk space
  • Docker 20.04 or newer

To run on GPU using NVIDIA, you will also need:

Check Compute Capability to make sure your gpu is compatible.

If you don't have docker installed

Check install docker guide.

If you don't have NVIDIA Docker installed

Check the official install guide from NVIDIA.

Native install

  • Debian-like distro with glibc >= 2.27 (run ldd --version to check)
  • ~8G disk space
  • dpkg or similar package manager

To run on GPU using NVIDIA, you will also need:

  • CUDA toolkit

Check Compute Capability to make sure your gpu is compatible.

Installation

Docker

By default CVEDIA-RT will run a GUI, that may require some X11 changes, the install.sh script will check if your current settings are compatible and perform changes as needed.

You may need to restart your X11 session after changes are performed.

  1. Extract the .tar.gz file you downloaded: tar -xzvf <filename.tar.gz>
  2. Run install script: sudo ./install.sh

Running with GUI

Run ./run.sh to start.

Depending on the devices and platform you're running you may be required to run as sudo or start the docker with privileged mode, this is automatically decided by the startup script.

Running Headless / REST

Run ./run.sh --remote to start.

CVEDIA-RT will be accessible via REST API on port 8080

Remote UI

As of 2022.11.0 release you can run CVEDIA-RT in remote GUI mode. To run in this mode you don't need to install a window manager nor x11.

Please check Remote UI for more info.

Running options

There's several ways to run CVEDIA-RT, please refeer to Running Options for all available options.

Solutions and persistence

When running CVEDIA-RT within docker, changes on solutions are ephemeral, if you want to make your solution changes persist, please check solution persistence.

Native

As of 2024.1.0 releases CVEDIA-RT is now shipped thru our own apt repository. This allows you to update automatically or pin a specific version of RT. This works on all systems we support, including jetson and aarch64 distros.

Hard paths

The native install will be placed at a fixed path: /opt/cvedia-rt which will potentially overwrite any files you may have there.

Installing using convenience script

curl -sqko - http://get.cvedia.com | sudo bash
apt install cvedia-rt -y

Installing by manually adding the apt repository

curl -sqko - http://apt.cvedia.com/key.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmour -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/cvedia.gpg
sudo echo "deb http://apt.cvedia.com cvedia main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cvedia.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install cvedia-rt -y

CVEDIA-RT binaries

CVEDIA-RT deb package will add a few binaries to your path (/usr/bin):

  • rtcmd
  • rtstudio
  • rtservice

Uninstalling

You can uninstall using the package manager apt remove cvedia-rt

Running with GUI

Just call cvediart, a window will show up.

Running Headless / REST

Run cvediart --remote to start.

CVEDIA-RT will be accessible via REST API on port 8080

Remote UI

As of 2022.11.0 release you can run CVEDIA-RT in remote GUI mode. To run in this mode you don't need to install a window manager nor x11.

Please check Remote UI for more info.

Running options

There's several ways to run CVEDIA-RT, please refeer to Running Options for all available options.

Troubleshooting

If you're running in GUI mode and CVEDIA-RT crashes with FATAL [..] [glfwui.cpp:68] glfwCreateWindow .., you can try:

  • On windows: CVEDIA-RT.bat --dx11
  • On windows: CVEDIA-RT.bat --glfw
  • On windows: CVEDIA-RT.bat --sdl
  • On linux with docker: ./run.sh --gl 0
  • On linux native: cvediart --sdl
  • On linux native: cvediart --glfw

If none of this options work, you can still run without UI then connect from a different machine using Remote UI:

  • On windows: CVEDIA-RT.bat --remote
  • On linux with docker: ./run.sh --remote
  • On linux native: cvediart --remote

On linux CVEDIA-RT might fail to start if your desktop resolution is smaller than 1280x720.

If you don't have a graphical interface or cannot run in this resolution, you can run headless with Remote UI (./run.sh --remote on docker, or cvediart --remote natively)

If you're having issues after the application has started, logs are automatically saved under the log folder. Each session of CVEDIA-RT will create a new log entry in that folder, to submit support requests get the most recent log from that folder.

On linux for startup errors within docker, we recommend running test.sh, this will create a detailed log of system capabilities which can then be used to submit support requests to our team.

For any other questions and inquiries, check the support page.
