+=== Developer Tools ===
+NVIDIA JetPack offers developer tools for application development, debugging, profiling, and optimization. Some of these tools are used directly on the Jetson system, while others run on a Linux host computer connected to the Jetson system. These tools are:
+* '''NVIDIA Nsight Eclipse Edition''': Is a full-featured IDE powered by the Eclipse platform. It provides an all-in-one integrated environment to edit, cross-compile, and debug CUDA-C applications.
+* '''CUDA-GDB''': Is a command line tool bundled with CUDA Toolkit that delivers a seamless debugging experience allowing you to debug both the CPU and GPU portions of your application simultaneously.
+* '''CUDA-MEMCHECK''': Is a command line tool bundled with CUDA Toolkit that detects the source and cause of memory access errors in your GPU code. It also reports runtime execution errors, identifying situations that could otherwise result in an “unspecified launch failure” error when your application is running.
+* '''NVIDIA Nsight Systems''': is a low overhead system-wide profiling tool, providing the insights developers need to analyze and optimize software performance. It uses GPU tracing, CPU sampling and tracing, and OS thread state tracing to visualize an application’s algorithms.
+* '''nvprof''': Is a command line tool bundled with CUDA Toolkit that enables you to collect and view profiling data, i.e., a timeline of CUDA-related activities on both CPU and GPU.
+* '''NVIDIA Nsight Graphics''': Is a standalone application for debugging and profiling graphics applications. Powerful analysis tools help identify optimization opportunities. Runs on Linux host computer.
+* '''NVIDIA Nsight Compute''': Is an interactive kernel profiler for CUDA applications. It provides detailed performance metrics for analysis and enables results comparison between baselines and the current run.
+* '''NVIDIA Nsight Deep Learning Designer''':  An integrated development environment that helps developers efficiently design and develop deep neural networks for in-app inference.
+* '''NVIDIA Nsight Compute CLI''': Provides a non-interactive way to profile applications from the command line. It can print the results directly on the command line or store them in a report file.
