NVIDIA IGX Orin Safety Extension Package (SEP) Developer Guide

The Safety Extension Package (SEP) gives access to the hardware error diagnostics foundation that can be used in the context of safety-related system design. The Safety Extension Package (SEP) software provides error diagnostics and an error reporting framework to support the implementation of safety functions. Details on the NVIDIA IGX approach to functional safety can be found in the “NVIDIA IGX in Safety-Related Systems Application Note.”
