NVIIDA Orin IST Manager

  • Provides an interface to set the IST Configuration. Communicates the configuration set by the user application to Orin SW (IST Client) over Ethernet (for Key-On/OFF Orin IST)
  • Provides an interface to read the IST results
  • Provides interfaces using which the Platform Power manager can query if a Keyon/KeyOff IST need to be executed, and query whether IST is completed.
  • During bootup, decides whether Orin shall be in IST Mode or Normal mode
  • Triggers IST via GPIO assertion, monitors the execution of IST on Orin and detects IST stuck scenarios through timeouts
  • Provides an interface to abort the IST execution
  • Detects and handles the following HW Error scenarios
    • IST stuck is detected by a GPT based HW timer with a configurable timeout
    • Communication with Orin SoC is monitored by a SW timer with a configurable time out
  • Depends on an active Ethernet (VLAN200) connection between MCU and Orin.
  • The customer application is expected to set a valid IST configuration during every power-cycle, using the interfaces provided by NvMCU_ISTManager. This is done via the Serial console Shell Commands.
