We have production and test env. For production, everything is running fine.
However, we want our test environment also support some of the driveos functionality.
My question is that whether we can setup nvsciipc on a x86_64 platform on a native portable ubuntu environment?

For example, I have this error, which complains /dev/nvsciipc is missing on x86_64 ubuntu machine.
This error happens both on the drive os docker nvcr.io/lxi7dhzvvhlp/driveos-sdk/drive-agx-orin-linux-aarch64-sdk-build-x86 or a native ubuntu 22.04 docker. I believe the issue here is that we are not using the Orin Hardware, but in a portable x86_64 test env. This is simply because we want to have a cross-platform build environment. Do we always need orin/xavier hardware to run nvsciipc related features?

!info[L:715]nvsciipc_os_open_config: (device) NOT present: /dev/nvsciipc
!info[L:717]nvsciipc_os_open_config: fallback to non-secure mode
!ERR![L:305]nvsciipc_os_entry_num_helper: Failed to open: /etc/nvsciipc.cfg
!ERR![L:75]error: NvSciIpcInit :Failed to load ConfigBlob: 33
NvBaseService::openService could not NvSciIpcInit

Thank you!

No. You need to test on Orin platform.

Hi Siva
I have found this document. It seems to me that some features drive os is able to run on x86 with Tesla GPU. Can you help to verify?
