Emulation Flash Configurations#
Jetson developer kits can emulate the performance of other Jetson production modules in the same family. Emulation support helps to significantly reduce the time to market by kick-starting development for any Jetson production module on a developer kit.
During emulation, the GPU, CPU, and other hardware accelerators are configured according to the supported nvpmodels for the target platform. For a list of nvpmodels that are supported by a Jetson module, refer to Platform Power and Performance.
Note
The emulation mode does not emulate beyond the current throttling limits.
Jetson Orin Family#
The Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit can emulate Jetson AGX Orin 32GB, Jetson Orin NX 16GB, Jetson Orin NX 8GB, Jetson Orin Nano 8GB, and Jetson Orin Nano 4GB production modules.
For emulation, you can flash the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit by using the appropriate configuration file from the following table. For example, to emulate Jetson Orin NX 16GB on Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit, use following command:
$ sudo ./flash.sh jetson-agx-orin-devkit-as-nx-16gb internal

Jetson Thor Family#
The Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit can emulate Jetson Thor production modules.
For emulation, you can flash the Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit by using the appropriate configuration file from the following table. For example, to emulate Jetson T3000 on Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit, use the following command:
$ sudo ./l4t_initrd_flash.sh p3834-0008-as-p5767-0000-nvme internal
Flash Config |
Description |
|---|---|
p3834-0008-as-p5767-0000-nvme |
Flashes a configuration that emulates a Jetson T3000 module (P5767-0000) on a Jetson T5000 module (P3834-0008) attached to a Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit. |
Note
For Jetson T4000 emulation, no separate flash configuration is required. Use the standard Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit flash configuration and switch to the appropriate nvpmodel power mode. For more information, see Use Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit to Emulate T4000 Module.
