Nvidia Jetson Ubuntu 20.04.

Nvidia Jetson Build

The Standard Ubuntu 18.04 installation and setup provided by Nvidia for their Jetson line is nearly EOL and in many ways outdated. Addtionally the ROS build for Ubuntu 18.04. uses Python 2 which is already EOL, and newer AI libraries using Python 3 will not or very inconveniently work with ROS Melodic.

Therefore we build our own Setup and Configuration for Ubuntu 20.04. and ROS Noetic. Our used method is based on [1] and [2].
