9 Successfully installing NVIDIA DRIVE OS also installs the following items on the
10 NVIDIA DRIVE target platform and host systems:
11 - NVIDIA DRIVE OS 5.2.6.0 SDK/PDK
12 - NVIDIA CUDA<sup>&reg;</sup> Toolkit version 10.2.526

18 ## Hardware Prerequisites
19 
20 The following hardware item is required:
21 - **Host System**: An x86 computer with a NVIDIA Volta<sup>&trade;</sup> or
22  Turing<sup>&trade;</sup> based GPU.
23 
24 The following hardware item is optional, but strongly recommended:
25 - **Target System**: An NVIDIA DRIVE platform with the latest NVIDIA DRIVE OS
26  flashed on the system.

28 ## x86 Host System Prerequisites
29 
30 Please ensure the following DriveWorks dependencies are installed on your x86
31 computer running the Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) operating system:
32 
33 - cmake (>= 3.14.0)
34 - libdrm-dev
35 - libegl1-mesa-dev
36 - libgl1-mesa-dev
37 - libgles2-mesa-dev
38 - libglu1-mesa-dev
39 - libqt5core5a
40 - libqt5gui5
41 - libqt5qml5
42 - libusb-1.0-0
43 - libx11-dev
44 - libxcursor-dev
45 - libxinerama-dev
46 - libxrandr-dev
47 - libxxf86vm-dev
48 - x11proto-dev
49 - zlib1g-dev
50 
51 Desktop development relies on the NVIDIA Video Decoder (NVCUVID) for video
52 decoding, which is included with the NVIDIA drivers. In general, the `cmake`
53 build scripts can find NVCUVID installation. However, if this fails, you must
54 set a symbolic link `/usr/lib/nvidia-current` pointing to your NVIDIA driver
55 library, for instance to `/usr/lib/nvidia-xyz`.
