How to get it
The Clara AGX Developer Kit is available exclusively for members of the NVIDIA Clara Developer Partner Program. Register through our Developer Partner Program application and one of our NVIDIA Sales Representatives will contact you to determine next steps. Users may only join with a corporate or university email address.
How to set up
You will need:
- A host development PC
- Clara AGX Development Kit
- Clara AGX SDK available through our NVIDIA Clara Partner Developer Program
The development environment for Clara AGX requires a host development PC (not included with the Clara AGX Developer Kit).
How to develop
Clara AGX SDK
Clara AGX SDK runs on the Jetson platform and provides developers with capabilities to build end-to-end streaming workflows for medical imaging. It includes advanced samples for ultrasound video and endoscopy. Membership to the NVIDIA Clara Developer Partner Program is required to access the SDK.
SDK Features
- NVIDIA RTX support - Docker and CUDA, TensorRT, dGPU enablement
- NVIDIA Mellanox Rivermax 100GbE streaming -Rivermax transport protocol streams data over ethernet directly into GPU GDDR DRAM using GPU Direct Technology
- Windows Device mode support - I/O Driver provides Jetson AGX work in device mode on Windows 10 machine
- Endoscopy using NVIDIA DeepStream - Video-in and inference for endoscopy and other video-based modalities
- CUDA accelerated SUPRA library - Software-defined ultrasound processing for real-time Applications
- Sensor Processing - Support for camera serial interface
- Sample Applications
- AI endoscopy reference application
- AI ultrasound reference application
