Hello Jetsonhacks,
Could you tell us, the performance of it ?
thanks

mada some mistakes, because of the version of caffe and cuDNN

Jetson TK1 can use only Cuda 6.5 so it means you can use only cuDNN v2.

There is no branch or tag named dev, since getting following error
error: pathspec 'dev' did not match any file(s) known to git.

Ok finally was able to build the caffe , but not the dev branch, even dev branch does not exist now, They have merged it to master , and master can be only compiled using cuDNN 5+ which require CUDA 7, but currently for Jetson TK1 latest CUDA version is 6.5 and cuDNN last supported version for that is cudnn-6.5-linux-ARMv7-v2.So can't build the master branch in TK1.
Instead, I was able to build this fork which is for cudnn 2.x

I had same error: pathspec 'dev' ... Currently the script is in a random test phase and seems to be passing the tests. What problem am I going to have?

I had flash tk1 by JetPack first,Then,I run this script, I got some error, the first one is "there is no 'dev' branch " same with tmkasun.

I maybe get the key. To make the master of caffe for tk1, we should comment compute_60 in makefile.config .just easy

This one works for CUDNN v2 on Jetson TK1. https://github.com/platotek/caffetk1. Also make sure to install g++4.8 before you run the make commands.

I just wrote a GIST on this issue.
Jetson TK1 - caffe compilation issue: nvcc fatal : Unsupported gpu architecture 'compute_60'

In short, download caffe rc2 from releases and compile using this build. You need CUDA 9 and yes it sucks that Kepler GPUs are supported just not this one ( Kepler "GK20a" GPU ) and the last Jetpack release had no updates for TK1.
