Hi, I’m planning to develop Isaac ROS nodes on DGX Spark and run SIL tests by connecting them to Isaac Sim running on the same DGX Spark. The real robot runtime will be Jetson Thor (Isaac ROS on Thor for sensors/actuation), so DGX Spark is only for development and simulation validation. Is this workflow feasible and supported on DGX Spark, and are there any known constraints?
Thanks.
Hello @nekoyyy,
Welcome to the Isaac ROS forum, and thanks for your post!
Conceptually, the workflow you describe is exactly what we’re targeting: using DGX Spark for Isaac ROS development and SIL with Isaac Sim, then deploying the same ROS graph to Jetson Thor for on‑robot runtime.
DGX Spark support for Isaac ROS is in active rollout and will be officially documented in upcoming releases. In the near term, you should be able to experiment with this workflow, but there may be some gaps until DGX Spark is fully listed as a supported configuration in the public Isaac ROS docs and release notes. Final validation of latency, real‑time behavior, and sensor/actuation should still be done on Thor, since the platforms differ.
So, this is a feasible direction, and DGX Spark support is coming soon, but please treat it as early‑stage rather than fully qualified until the corresponding release notes call it out explicitly.
Thanks for the clarification. It’s helpful to know this DGX Spark + Isaac ROS + Isaac Sim (SIL) workflow is the intended direction, even if support is still rolling out.
I’ll proceed with early testing on DGX Spark and do final latency/real-time and sensor/actuation validation on Jetson Thor.
