Functional Components
Functional Components
If a user plans to maintain the Xavier platform and would like to verify which hardware components are currently functional, this section provides the status of the hardware component tests performed so far on the AGX Xavier Developer Kit. To validate the functionality of these components, follow the steps described in the Build and Installation Instructions section. Once the procedure is completed, the board will boot using the CIP kernel version shown below.
uname -a Linux ubuntu 5.10.254-cip72-tegra #3 SMP PREEMPT Thu May 7 15:12:53 CST 2026 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
The MAXN NV Power Mode and jetson_clocks have to be enabled for the tests performed in this document. For enabling the MAXN NV Power Mode, execute:
sudo nvpmodel -m 0
And jetson_clocks:
sudo jetson_clocks
The following table summarizes the components tested, the test description, the status result, and additional comments.
| Component | Test Description | Status | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPU | Presents CUDA tests for exercising the GPU unit and shows the tegrastats output | Pass | N/A |
| MIPI Camera | Verify the capture with a MIPI CSI camera sensor with v4l2-ctl and GStreamer pipeline
|
Pass | N/A |
| Video Encoder/Decoder | Exercise the H264, H265, and VP9 encoder and decoder with a GStreamer pipeline | Pass | N/A |
| Networking, USB, and Storage | Check the networking connection by running a ping. Additionally, verify the USB and storage status by connecting a USB device and saving a file.
|
Pass | N/A |
| VIC | Check the VIC tegrastats metric when running a GStreamer pipeline that needs memory conversion to display the stream with the xvimagesink plugin
|
Pass | N/A |
| RAM | Check the RAM tegrastats metric when running a GStreamer pipeline
|
Pass | N/A |
| Display | Displays the MIPI camera stream or an MP4 decoded video by executing a pipeline with the xvimagesink plugin.
|
Pass | N/A |
| Rootfs A/B support | Verify bootloader slot reporting and rootfs A/B support with nvbootctrl. | Pass | N/A |
| PCIe | Verify PCIe root port exposure and downstream bus enumeration. | Pass | N/A |
| I2S | Verify that I2S and Tegra audio fabric interfaces are exposed. | Pass | N/A |
| Alsa Support | Verification of ALSA support | Pass | N/A |
| P2P Capabilities | Verify Ethernet PTP timestamping support and PHC exposure | Pass | N/A |
