What is the issue?

I use Jetson Nano to run ollama, but when I check jtop, I find my GPU is not work, the ollama is running in CPU. How to solve this problem?

@Dominic23331 it sounds like our pre-built binaries might not be compatible with the cuda driver/library on the host. The server log will likely show more details on why we couldn't load properly on the GPU. I believe others have reported that building from source gets Ollama linked to the right cuda library for this system and should work as a workaround until we can figure out why our prebuilt arm binaries aren't working.

@buraksumer your issue is most likely something else unrelated to the ARM Jetson platform. Please go ahead and find a new issue with your server log so we can see why it's not detecting your GPU. (please make sure to upgrade to the latest version)

We'll track Nano support in #4140
