NVIDIA IGX is an enterprise-ready platform. The software that runs on IGX is powered by NVIDIA AI Enterprise—IGX.
It includes long-term support on the whole software stack for up to 10 years.
With NVIDIA AI Enterprise—IGX, customers get full support, including Business Standard support five days a week, eight hours a day, with Service Level Agreements on response time.
This delivers peace of mind, confidence, and ease of deployment and management of your products.
Combined with NVIDIA AI Enterprise, IGX helps customers achieve tremendous savings in time to market and software maintenance.
Yes, all IGX-based full systems, including systems based on IGX 700 and IGX 500, must be NVIDIA-Certified. This is to ensure all IGX systems are fully optimized and tested for NVIDIA AI software stack and enterprise-level performance. Combined with NVIDIA AI Enterprise, IGX helps customers achieve huge time-to-market and maintenance savings.
IGX 700 is a board kit product featuring microATX with functional safety, NVIDIA® ConnectX®-7, and BMC support. It can also add an optional dGPU to scale out its AI compute to up to 1705 TOPS.
IGX 500 is a system-on-module (SOM) form-factor product that provides a custom design-in solution for official NVIDIA OEM/ODMs. It can also add optional safety MCU to enable functional safety capabilities.
The IGX Developer Kit is a full-chassis enclosure built on IGX 700. IGX customers can get started with the developer kit to create their own custom applications. Please note that the IGX Developer Kit is designed for development purposes only and is not intended to be used as a scale production system. End customers can work with NVIDIA OEM/ODM partners to build specific edge solutions for end deployable systems based upon either the IGX 700 or IGX 500.
Whether you're using an IGX 700 or IGX-500-based design for production, you can start your development with the IGX Developer Kit. IGX 700, IGX 500, and the IGX Developer Kit are all powered by the same software stack, i.e, IGX SW. Customers can then easily transition from the IGX Developer Kit environment to production systems without any code changes.
All IGX 700 and IGX 500-based products from NVIDIA partners go through NVIDIA Certification, which ensures that the NVIDIA AI Enterprise—IGX Software stack works with optimal performance on these products.
IGX has a 10-year product life cycle and enterprise software support from initial market availability. NVIDIA will offer the IGX Orin lineup until 2033.
Please review NVIDIA IGX Orin Developer Kit Regulatory Compliance and Safety.
You can purchase the IGX Developer Kit from official distributors to develop their AI software stack and applications.
You can purchase NVIDIA IGX Certified systems directly from official OEM partners. End customers that need customized designs can work with our ecosystem partners to design IGX 500-based systems unique to their specific edge requirements. Custom designs must also go through the NVIDIA certification and qualification process.
NVIDIA IGX Forum is the best place to get all your questions and issues answered regarding using the developer kit and any software-related topics. For hardware support, customers have the option to purchase IGX Developer Kit Hardware support during the initial purchase. This provides next-business-day RMA support to maximize uptime of your development and also support with deep connections to the technical support.
If the Hardware support isn't purchased, customers can go through the standard warranty process. It may take a few weeks of RMA verification before shipment:
