Here is the brief memo where I've installed NVIDIA/DIGITS and Caffe

Tips

• Make sure boost.python is built
• Don't mix protobuf 2.x and 3.x.  It works with protobuf-3.1.0 as long as relevant modules are using 3.1.0 version consistantly.
• Dependency.cmake under caffe/cmake directory mssing ${HDF5_HL_LIBRARIES} at line 28 that leads link error as described bellow.
• nccl module need to be built for multi-GPU enabled.  See https://github.com/NVIDIA/nccl

This is the memo when install debian on my working machine.

Recently, I've setup vsftpd on the server 'jessie-pi.cloudapp.net' that is the Linux (jessie) on Microsoft Azure.  It works excellent for most of web browsers.  However, get stacked at 'PASV' command when try wget command.  The curl command works file though...

The problem resolved by adding following lines to /etc/vsftpd.conf

pasv_addr_resolve=YES
pasv_address=jessie-pi.cloudapp.net

Complete configuration listed below.  And of course, port 20, 21, 1035..1038 were open to public on Azure portal.

Terasic DE0-NANO-SoC (NANO-SoC) comes with the Yacto Linux on microSD Card as ready to go.  Since we have been using Debian for analytical instrument control software and firmware, it worth to take time to swich it to Debian Linux.  Here is the complete walk-through for install Debian Jessie onto NANO-SoC.

After new Windows 10 Professional has been installed on VirtualBox, install remote management tool and enable Hyper-V/Hyper-V Management Tools on Windows Features on or off.

Add server 'XENON' to Server Manager and set 'XENON\Administrator' as manager account.

Allow MMC & WMI through the Windows Firewall, on both
