I have the Jetson Thor AGX DevKit connected to an external FPGA with the Holoscan FPGA Sensor Bridge IP running on it.

I tried running the audio_player.py example and it did not work. However, the linux_audio_player.py example did work.

This got me questioning whether or not RDMA / ROCEv2 is supported by the Jetson Thor DevKit? Is there something lacking in my setup that I need to enable?

Thor doesn’t have a ConnectX NIC and can not use RDMA / ROCEv2.

Examples without “linux_” in the filename use the accelerated network receiver operator and require 
ConnectX SmartNIC controllers, like those on IGX and DGX Spark. AGX Orin and AGX Thor systems cannot run these examples.

 RoCE Receiver
For systems with RDMA-capable network hardware (ConnectX NICs) such as IGX Orin, examples/imx274_frame_validation.py provides 
high-performance frame validation with GPU-accelerated CRC checking using nvCOMP 5.0. 
This example uses the accelerated network receiver operator and requires ConnectX SmartNIC controllers.
