Autonomous Vehicle Virtual Machine Configuration

This topic applies only to Linux platforms.

Configuration for Thor

The NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor™ system Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Partition Configuration Table (PCT) consists of server Virtual Machines, service Virtual Machines, and NVIDIA DRIVE® AV Guest OS VM configurations.

PCT is divided according to the composition of the NVIDIA DRIVE AV Guest OS VM.

• Single Linux Guest OS VM

Profile Makefile

The profile makefile is the file containing the definitions of PCT configuration. Each PCT has its own profile makefiles.

Linux Standard SDK Package

The default profile makefile (profile_dev_nsr.mk) is for the standard package.

PCT name	PCT	Profile makefile for standard build
Single Linux Guest OS VM	linux	profile_dev_nsr.mk

The profile makefile is located at:

• Single Linux Guest OS VM Development (linux PCT):

<top>/<NV_SDK_NAME_FOUNDATION>/platform-config/hardware/nvidia/platform/t264/automotive/pct/drive_av/linux/profile_dev_nsr.mk

Linux Production PCT SDK Package

Linux Production build package needs additional option (PCT variant option, -p) when you use bind_partitions to select different profile makefile. The production package has two types of profile configurations (PCT variant): prod_nsr and test_nsr. For test_nsr, the PCT variant provides debug environment based on the prod_nsr PCT variant.

PCT name	PCT	PCT variant	Profile makefiles for production build	Comment
Single Linux Guest OS VM	linux	dev_nsr	profile_dev_nsr.mk	UTC UART is enabled. Servers/VM log available. Support SSH/DHCP/NFS in Guest OS VM.
		test_nsr	profile_test_nsr.mk	UTC UART is disabled. Servers/VM log disabled. Support SSH/DHCP in Guest OS VM.
		prod_nsr	profile_prod_nsr.mk	UTC UART is disabled Servers/VM log disabled Do not support SSH/DHCP in Guest OS VM.

• Single Linux Guest OS VM Production (linux PCT with -p prod_nsr or -p test_nsr):
