Issues

• Jetson TX2 OS takes up half the disk. So, even after it's flashed, still have low memory to our goals.

1. [ ] Possible solution: Use SD card to extend it's memory. https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/increase-storage-space-of-jetson-tx2-dev-kit-using-sd-card/76872

• We don't know if the docker command actually works, because the container couldn't find TX2 even though it was connected and --privileged was set.

2. [ ] Possible solution: Run the container with -v /dev:/dev parameter to make sure the container will access every USB port.
