How To Setup "Show and Tell" for Jetson TX1

Introduction

This is a collection of scripts and tutorials that are useful to setup the Jetson TX1 development board from NVIDIA the first time. Furthermore it explains how to install important frameworks like Tensorflow and OpenCV3, so the google im2txt ("show and tell") neural network (article) can operate on Jetson.

Attention: This repository uses git-lfs for large files. You need to install git-lfs in order to download the large binary files.
