Installing ASIP Programmer

After installing the PVA SDK as described in Installation, obtain the ASIP local installer pva-sdk-2.10-local-asip_2.10.1_all.deb from your NVIDIA representative, place it in the current directory, then run:

sudo apt install -y ./pva-sdk-2.10-local-asip_2.10.1_all.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y pva-sdk-2.10-vpu-dev-asip pva-sdk-2.10-native-dev pva-sdk-2.10-l4t-doip-asip
sudo apt remove --purge -y pva-sdk-local-asip
rm -f pva-sdk-2.10-local-asip_2.10.1_all.deb
sudo apt update

Licensing

Configure the license mechanism supplied with your ASIP Programmer access. FlexLM configurations commonly use SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE or LM_LICENSE_FILE; consult the materials supplied with the package.

The fixed VPU SDK packages install the additional terms through asip-docs under /opt/nvidia/pva-sdk-2.10/share/licenses/asip. The ASIP Programmer package also installs them in the licenses directory beneath its own installation prefix.

Compiler Selection

The PVA SDK build system prefers ASIP Programmer when a valid installation is detected. Set PVA_USE_NVVPU=ON to force NVVPU while ASIP Programmer is installed:

cmake -DPVA_USE_NVVPU=ON ..

ASIP Programmer is required for safety builds. The PVA SDK build system rejects configurations that combine PVA_SAFETY=ON with PVA_USE_NVVPU=ON.
