Build Autonomous Vehicles with the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin Development Kit

Autonomous vehicle developers may be interested to learn that NVIDIA has announced the availability of its new DRIVE AGX Orin SDK with DRIVE OS 6. Providing access to flexible, scalable, high-performance hardware and software to create the next generation of safer and more efficient transportation.

The NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin Development Kit is now available for general access and is powered by a single Orin system-on-chip (SoC). the AI ​​Computing Platform includes the hardware, software, and sample applications needed to develop production-level autonomous vehicles. The compute platform is modular and shares the same design as NVIDIA Jetson, NVIDIA Isaac, and NVIDIA Clara AGX.

"With rich automotive I/O, you have the flexibility to expand and iterate on your self-driving solutions. Orin's DRIVE AGX includes a base kit for bench development and a kit for add-on vehicle for vehicle installation. The platform also has a smaller footprint than previous generations, with system and accessories included in a single box. Additionally, NVIDIA DRIVE OS 6 is now available on the download from developer NVIDIA DRIVE, providing the latest operating system specifically designed for autonomous vehicles."

"NVIDIA DRIVE OS includes NvMedia for sensor input processing, NVIDIA CUDA libraries for efficient parallel computing implementations, and NVIDIA TensorRT for real-time AI inference. The currently available version is DRIVE OS 6.0 .4, which supports sensors included in the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion 8.1 platform architecture.You can enjoy faster downloads and easier development environment setup by installing the software with the containers. NGC DRIVE OS Docker or NVIDIA SDK Manager."

DRIVE OS 6.0 offers the following benefits:

– Development for NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin, the advanced software-defined platform for autonomous vehicles– Production support with DRIVE OS QNX for Safety or DRIVE OS Linux with Safety Extensions– Comprehensive safety model:– PKCS #11– Secure Boot– DRIVE Orin Platform Security Controller (PSC)– Public Key Cryptography (PKC) algorithms– Functional Safety Island (FSI)– High performance compute acceleration engines including CUDA, TensorRT, NvMedia and NvStreams– Ability to develop natively on Ubuntu 20.04 Host or with Docker containers on Ubuntu 20.04 or 18.04 Host– Extensive ecosystem of partners and industry experience
