Description
Virtualization Programming Guide
Virtualization technology enables running multiple operating system stacks with different security and safety requirements on a single NVIDIA SoC. The Foundation Services virtualization solution is pre-configured to meet most guest OS requirements and configurations. Use the virtualization technology to customize the virtualization partitioning and configuration to meet your design needs.
Communications and Security Service Development Guide
The Communications Service manages the communications of the hardware peripherals.
Guest Virtual Machines (VMs) can access the peripherals as if they were exclusively allocated to that VM.
The Communications Service uses the Security Service to manage the routing of traffic to and from the peripherals, and to and from the guest VM.
The Security Service monitors the communications for potential threats and enacts the appropriate policy once a threat is detected.
The guest VM is not aware of the Security Service.
The guest VM has virtualized drivers that appear, to higher layers, like normal hardware drivers.
Multiple guest VMs can access the same peripheral without knowledge of each other.
Three Layered Safety Supervision Framework Users Guide
Describes the NvGuard three layered safety and supervision framework software functionality, user configuration, and integration details for safety integrity on the platform.
