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), AJA Video Systems I/O boards, 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.
