Note

SW Release Applicability: This module is available in both NVIDIA DriveWorks and NVIDIA DRIVE Software releases.

About This Module

The Core module is the main entry point into the NVIDIA^® DriveWorks SDK. It provides features that most applications use, such as context handles, system/platform information, and memory management.

In the case of context handles, this module creates and releases SDK context handles. The following information is stored in those handles:

• All global components, such as a pointer to the logging callback.
• NvMedia device instance.
• Global timesource.
• Platform information.
• Virtual file system.

Each individual module must have a handle to a valid context instance.

When a module is created within a certain context, its availablility and functionality exists only in that context.
