Is it possible to emulate the Nvidia Jetson Orin family in a docker, on a regular PC?

Please refer to Cloud-Native on Jetson | NVIDIA Developer

kayccc refers to the ability to run docker containers on the Jetson, but it appears as if you want to run Jetson code in a Docker container on a PC. This is not really a thing you can do.

At the user level, the device is just another ARM Linux box, though – if all you do is write user-level programs, then that will be the same as any other device, inside or outside a container.

The whole point of the Jetson series is that they have specialized hardware and a specialized system architecture, tuned for a variety of edge/embedded use cases. With this hardware, comes special drivers for the hardware, and special APIs to support those drivers.

But the special hardware (video, graphics, unified memory, GPIOs, and so on) all use fairly specialized interfaces which are not available on a regular PC, or in a container running on a regular PC.
