Deployment stack

NVIDIA Holoscan accelerates deployment of production-quality applications by providing a set of OpenEmbedded build recipes and reference configurations that can be leveraged to customize and build Holoscan-compatible Linux4Tegra (L4T) embedded board support packages (BSP) on the NVIDIA IGX Developer Kits.

Holoscan OpenEmbedded/Yocto recipes add OpenEmbedded recipes and sample build configurations to build BSPs for the NVIDIA IGX Developer Kit that feature support for discrete GPUs (dGPU) and the Holoscan SDK. These BSPs are built on a developer’s host machine and are then flashed onto the NVIDIA IGX Developer Kit using provided scripts.

There are two options available to set up a build environment and start building Holoscan BSP images using OpenEmbedded.

1. Use an OpenEmbedded/Yocto build container by building the image from the meta-tegra-holoscan env directory. The holoscan-oe-builder image previously published on NGC has been retired; follow those instructions to build the container locally and run setup, BitBake, and flash workflows from your workspace.
2. Set up a local build environment in which all dependencies are fetched and installed manually by the developer directly on their host machine. Please refer to the Holoscan OpenEmbedded/Yocto recipes README for more information on how to use the local build environment.
