Autonomous Vehicle Virtual Machine Configuration#

This topic applies only to Linux platforms.

Virtualization System Configuration#

The NVIDIA DRIVE AGX™ 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.

Linux Production PCT SDK Package#

The Linux production build package requires the additional -p PCT variant option when you use bind_partitions to select a different profile makefile. The production package has two PCT variants: prod_nsr and test_nsr. The test_nsr variant provides a debug environment based on prod_nsr.
