DriveWorks SDK Reference
5.8.83 Release
For Test and Development only

Getting Started Using the NVIDIA DRIVE OS NGC Docker Container

Please see the "NVIDIA DRIVE OS NGC Docker Container Installation Guide" to download and install Docker, for complete host system requirements, for access to NVIDIA® GPU Cloud (NGC™), to pull the NVIDIA DRIVE® OS build/flash Docker image from NGC, flash the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin™ system, setup minicom and networking for secure shell (SSH) and network file system (NFS), and for other important installation information.

Note
You may to refer to the "DRIVE OS 6.0 Installation Guide for NVIDIA Developer" instead of the "NVIDIA DRIVE OS NGC Docker Container Installation Guide" if you obtained your documentation from the NVIDIA DRIVE Developer Program instead of NVONLINE.

Core Binaries Installation

We assume that you have pulled from NGC the NVIDIA DRIVE OS Docker image named drive-agx-orin-linux-aarch64-sdk-build-x86 or drive-agx-orin-qnx-aarch64-sdk-build-x86 that may be used to build and flash the NVIDIA DRIVE OS including the NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK and its sample applications. The NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK is precompiled and preinstalled for both the Linux x86 and Linux or QNX aarch64 architectures under the path /usr/local/driveworks inside the NVIDIA DRIVE OS Docker container. The guest Docker container may also be used to flash the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin system following the procedure in the "NVIDIA DRIVE OS NGC Docker Container Installation Guide," in which case the NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK is precompiled and preinstalled for the Linux or QNX aarch64 architecture on the target system.

Guest Docker Container on Host System x86

Samples Binaries Installation

This section describes running precompiled samples with no compilation required. As an alternative, to compile samples from source and run those samples, please see Samples Compilation From Source below.

The NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK is precompiled and preinstalled for the Linux x86 architecture inside the NVIDIA DRIVE OS Docker container under the path /usr/local/driveworks. The NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK samples are precompiled for the Linux x86 architecture and preinstalled under /usr/local/driveworks/bin.

To run samples, first start the guest Docker container with the following command on the host system:

% docker run -it -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-e DISPLAY --gpus=all --privileged --net=host \
nvcr.io/drive/driveos-sdk/drive-agx-orin-linux-aarch64-sdk-build-x86:latest

or

% docker run -it -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-e DISPLAY --gpus=all --privileged --net=host \
nvcr.io/drive/driveos-sdk/drive-agx-orin-qnx-aarch64-sdk-build-x86:latest
Note
Components of the Docker image name and the image tag may vary slightly from the above. Please use the name and tag provided to you by NVIDIA.
Warning
Enter all subsequent commands in this section at the guest Docker container command prompt # unless stated otherwise.

To run the "Hello World" sample, use the following command:

# /usr/local/driveworks/bin/sample_hello_world

Partial console output:

*************************************************
Welcome to Driveworks SDK
....
Happy autonomous driving!

Other samples from within the path /usr/local/driveworks/bin may be run inside the guest Docker container in a similar way. For a full list of samples, please see Samples.

Warning
Enter all subsequent commands in this section at the host system command prompt %.

To run samples that require access to a display, you may need to use the following command to allow access to the display for the docker group:

% xhost +local:docker

Console output:

non-network local connections being added to access control list

For security reasons, after exiting guest Docker container, you should remove access to the display for the docker group using the following command:

% xhost -local:docker

Console output:

non-network local connections being removed from access control list

NVIDIA DRIVE Orin Target System Linux aarch64

Samples Binaries Installation

This section describes installing and running precompiled samples with no cross-compilation required. As an alternative, to cross-compile samples from source and run those samples, please see Samples Cross-Compilation From Source below.

We assume that you have flashed your NVIDIA DRIVE Orin target system using the NVIDIA DRIVE OS Docker container and finalized your target system setup following the procedures in the "NVIDIA DRIVE OS NGC Docker Container Installation Guide." The NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK will be precompiled for the Linux aarch64 architecture and preinstalled on the target system under the path /usr/local/driveworks.

To install the NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK samples precompiled for the Linux aarch64 architecture onto the target system, copy the following Debian packages located under the path /drive/extra/driveworks inside the guest Docker container to the target system using the NFS mount that you set up using the "NVIDIA DRIVE OS NGC Docker Container Installation Guide:"

  • driveworks-data_*~linux*_all.deb
  • driveworks-samples_*~linux*_arm64.deb
  • driveworks-stm-samples_*~linux*_arm64.deb
  • driveworks-cgf-samples_*~linux*_arm64.deb

If you do not have an NFS mount setup, you may use rcp to copy the above Debian packages after connecting to the target system using minicom, tcu_muxer, or SSH. See "How to Run the CUDA Samples" in the "NVIDIA DRIVE OS NGC Docker Container Installation Guide" for an example of copying a file from the host system to the target system.

Warning

Samples Cross-Compilation From Source

This section describes cross-compiling samples from source and running those samples. As an alternative, to install and run precompiled samples with no cross-compilation required, please see Samples Binaries Installation above.

The NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK is precompiled and preinstalled for the Linux aarch64 architecture on the NVIDIA DRIVE OS Docker image under the path /usr/local/driveworks/targets/aarch64-Linux to enable cross-compiling samples and applications that leverage the NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK. Source code and CMake project and toolchain files for the NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK samples are located under the path /usr/local/driveworks/samples.

To cross-compile the samples, first start the guest Docker container with the following command on the host system:

% docker run -it -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb -v $DRIVEWORKS_WORKSPACE:/home/nvidia \
--gpus=all --privileged --net=host \
nvcr.io/drive/driveos-sdk/drive-agx-orin-linux-aarch64-sdk-build-x86:latest
Note
Components of the Docker image name and the image tag may vary slightly from the above. Please use the name and tag provided to you by NVIDIA.

The environment variable $DRIVEWORKS_WORKSPACE denotes the location on the host file system below which you would like the cross-compiled sample binaries to be placed and is mapped to the path /home/nvidia inside the guest Docker container.

Documentation Installation

To install the NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK reference documentation onto the target system, copy the following Debian packages to the target system using the NFS mount that you set up using the "NVIDIA DRIVE OS NGC Docker Container Installation Guide:"

  • driveworks-doc_*_all.deb
  • driveworks-cgf-doc_*_all.deb

If you do not have an NFS mount setup, you may use rcp to copy the above Debian packages after connecting to the target system using minicom, tcu_muxer, or SSH. See "How to Run the CUDA Samples" in the "NVIDIA DRIVE OS NGC Docker Container Installation Guide" for an example of copying a file from the host system to the target system.

Connect to the target system using minicom, tcu_muxer, or SSH, and then use dpkg to install the Debian packages in the following order using the following commands on the target system.

Install the driveworks-doc package:

$ sudo dpkg -i $TARGET_NFS_MOUNT_PATH/driveworks-doc_*_all.deb

The environment variable $TARGET_NFS_MOUNT_PATH denotes the location on the target file system of the NFS mount.

NVIDIA DRIVE Orin Target System QNX aarch64

Samples Binaries Installation

This section describes installing and running precompiled samples with no cross-compilation required. As an alternative, to cross-compile samples from source and run those samples, please see Samples Cross-Compilation From Source below.

We assume that you have flashed your NVIDIA DRIVE Orin target system using the NVIDIA DRIVE OS Docker container and finalized your target system setup following the procedures in the "NVIDIA DRIVE OS NGC Docker Container Installation Guide." The NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK will be precompiled for the aarch64 architecture and preinstalled on the target system under the path /usr/local/driveworks.

To install the NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK samples precompiled for the QNX aarch64 architecture onto the target system, unpack the following archives located under the path /drive/extra/driveworks inside the guest Docker container to the target system using the NFS mount that you set up using the "NVIDIA DRIVE OS NGC Docker Container Installation Guide:"

  • driveworks-data_*~qnx*_all.tar.gz
  • driveworks-samples_*~qnx*_all.tar.gz
  • driveworks-stm-samples_*~qnx*_all.tar.gz
  • driveworks-cgf-samples_*~qnx*_all.tar.gz

Unpack these archives into the mount location on the host:

% sudo tar -xzf driveworks-data_*~qnx*_all.tar.gz -C $HOST_NFS_MOUNT_PATH
% sudo tar -xzf driveworks-samples_*~qnx*_all.tar.gz -C $HOST_NFS_MOUNT_PATH
% sudo tar -xzf driveworks-stm-samples_*~qnx*_all.tar.gz -C $HOST_NFS_MOUNT_PATH
% sudo tar -xzf driveworks-cgf-samples_*~qnx*_all.tar.gz -C $HOST_NFS_MOUNT_PATH

The environment variable $HOST_NFS_MOUNT_PATH is the host path that you have exported via NFS and mounted on the target for providing target access the unpacked samples.

The NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK samples precompiled for the QNX arch64 architecture will be available under $TARGET_NFS_MOUNT_PATH/usr/local/driveworks-*/bin on the target system, where $TARGET_NFS_MOUNT_PATH is the path on the target file system to the NFS mounted location where you unpacked the samples.

Due to QNX file system limitations you should not attempt to copy the contents of $HOST_NFS_MOUNT_PATH/usr/local/driveworks-*/bin or $HOST_NFS_MOUNT_PATH/usr/local/driveworks-*/bin onto the target system instead of using the NFS mount.

Warning
Enter all subsequent commands in this section at the target system command prompt $.

To run the "Hello World" sample, use the following command on the target system:

$ $TARGET_NFS_MOUNT_PATH/usr/local/driveworks-*/bin/sample_hello_world

Partial console output:

*************************************************
Welcome to Driveworks SDK
....
Happy autonomous driving!

Other samples from within the path $TARGET_NFS_MOUNT_PATH/usr/local/driveworks-*/bin may be run on the target system in a similar way. For a full list of samples, please see Samples.

Samples Cross-Compilation From Source

This section describes cross-compiling samples from source and running those samples. As an alternative, to install and run precompiled samples with no cross-compilation required, please see Samples Binaries Installation above.

The NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK is precompiled and preinstalled for the QNX aarch64 architecture on the NVIDIA DRIVE OS Docker image under the path /usr/local/driveworks/targets/aarch64-QNX to enable cross-compiling samples and applications that leverage the NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK. Source code and CMake project and toolchain files for the NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK samples are located under the path /usr/local/driveworks/samples.

To cross-compile the samples, first start the guest Docker container with the following command on the host system:

% docker run -it -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb -v $DRIVEWORKS_WORKSPACE:/home/nvidia \
-v $HOME/.qnx:/root/.qnx -v $QNX_BASE:/sdp -e QNX_BASE=/sdp -e QNX_HOST=/sdp/host/linux/x86_64 \
-e QNX_TARGET=/sdp/target/qnx7 -e QNX_TOP=/drive/drive-qnx -e QNX_VERSION=7.1.0 \
-e CUDA_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/cuda-safe-11.4 -e CUDA_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-safe-11.4 -e QNX_SDK_PATH=/drive/drive-qnx/ \
-e TEGRA_TOP=/drive/drive-foundation -e PATH=/sdp/host/linux/x86_64/usr/bin/:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin \
--gpus=all --privileged --net=host \
nvcr.io/drive/driveos-sdk/drive-agx-orin-qnx-aarch64-sdk-build-x86:latest
Note
Components of the Docker image name and the image tag may vary slightly from the above. Please use the name and tag provided to you by NVIDIA.

The environment variable $DRIVEWORKS_WORKSPACE denotes the location on the host file system below which you would like the cross-compiled sample binaries to be placed and is mapped to the path /home/nvidia inside the guest Docker container and the environment variable $QNX_BASE denotes the location on the host file system of the QNX Software Development Platform installation.

Warning
Enter all subsequent commands in this section at the guest Docker container command prompt #.

Create the output directory and configure the project:

# mkdir -p /home/nvidia/build-qnx-aarch64
# cmake -B /home/nvidia/build-qnx-aarch64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/usr/local/driveworks/samples/cmake/Toolchain-V5Q.cmake \
