Purpose-built for a range of industrial and medical environments — IGX empowers organizations with the performance, durability, security, and safety required for AI at the edge. - IGX features high-bandwidth sensor processing, powerful AI compute, and a 10 year long-term lifecycle for both hardware and software. It's also Medical and Functional Safety Certification Ready. - It’s supported by NVIDIA AI Enterprise — IGX which includes a commercial OS support AI framework, enterprise-grade security, and proactive AI-based functional safety. This lets organizations confidently deliver AI safely and securely to support human-machine collaboration. - The same NVIDIA application frameworks work on NVIDIA IGX — including Metropolis, Holoscan, and Isaac. NVIDIA IGX OS is the leading enterprise-grade, production-ready software stack for the IGX platform. Built with safety in mind, IGX OS supports safety extension packages that enable compliance with functional safety standards, delivers long-term stability through validated updates, and includes a robust set of AI, system, and security services designed for mission-critical edge deployments. IGX OS also includes up to 10 years of support with the optional NVIDIA AI Enterprise contract. IGX is an enterprise product offering — created to accelerate development time, reduce software maintenance costs, and deliver performance for mission-critical applications. In contrast, NVIDIA Jetson™ is an embedded edge product for more custom and flexible designs. | | Jetson | IGX | | --- | --- | --- | | **Target Market** | Embedded Edge Market​ | Industrial Enterprise Edge Market | | **Application Layer​** | NVIDIA JetPack™ is used for development and production of AI on a shorter-duration rolling release schedule​. - Up to five years of best-effort support through forums, no SLAs ​ - Bugs and CVEs delivered in quarterly releases on a best-effort basis​ | NVIDIA AI Enterprise is for production AI. - 10-year support option​ - All NVIDIA frameworks supported - Bugs and CVEs delivered as needed on current branch​ - Business-critical SLAs​ | | **Operating System/Runtime​** | JetPack is an NVIDIA reference stack with L4T OS - Up to five years of best-effort support through forums, no SLAs ​ - Bugs and CVEs delivered in quarterly releases on a best-effort basis​ - Flexible and customizable | IGX OS is the enterprise OS - Up to 10 years of Enterprise Supported Stack with built and signed kernel. - Regular CVE patched aligning to SRU cycle. - Includes safety extensions JetPack on IGX - Same flexibility of JetPack - Supports safety extensions | | **Hardware​** | Jetson Thor​ - AI compute of up to 2070 FP4 TFLOPs​ - IO throughput of 100 GB/S​ - SOC module for custom design with collaterals​ | IGX Thor - AI compute of up to 5511 FP4 TFLOps with dGPU - IO throughput Up to 2x 200 GB/s​ - Security hardening - Reference BMC - Safety Island and MCU​ - Industrial grade SOC with extended operating temps​ - Custom design with IGX 500​ - NVIDIA Certified​ | Please review the IGX Migration App Note in the documents section [here](https://docs.nvidia.com/igx/user-guide/latest/index.html). NVIDIA aligns the kernel version, Ubuntu version, and compute‑stack version between JetPack and IGX OS to simplify migration. Customers who want the full JetPack experience and Jetson‑like stack customization on IGX T5000 can run JetPack on IGX. For more details, check the [download center](/igx-downloads). Please review the IGX documentation page and product roadmap [here](https://docs.nvidia.com/igx-orin/index.html#product-roadmap-and-life-cycle). The IGX Thor Developer Kit mini is a full-chassis enclosure built on IGX T5000 module with a safety MCU. IGX customers can get started with the developer kit to create their own custom applications. Please note that the IGX Developer Kit mini is designed for development purposes only and is not intended to be used as a scale production system. End customers can work with NVIDIA OEM/ODM partners or create their own custom carrier board to build specific edge solutions. Whether you're using an IGX T7000 for production or not, you can start your development with the IGX Thor Developer Kit. IGX T7000 and the IGX Thor Developer Kit are all powered by the same software stack — IGX software. You can easily transition from the IGX Developer Kit environment to production systems without any code changes. All IGX T7000 based products from NVIDIA partners go through NVIDIA Certification, which ensures that the NVIDIA AI Enterprise— IGX software stack works with optimal performance on these products. NVAIE‑IGX is optional on IGX T5000 but mandatory for the IGX T7000 and IGX Orin family. This is to ensure that IGX systems are fully optimized and tested for the NVIDIA AI software stack and enterprise-level performance. Combined with NVIDIA AI Enterprise, IGX helps customers achieve huge time-to-market and maintenance savings. Please review [NVIDIA IGX Orin Developer Kit Regulatory Compliance and Safety](https://docscontent.nvidia.com/fe/6e/176cc0f94f59b05e4db24fd21c12/da-11457-002-v0-1.pdf). You can purchase the IGX Developer Kit from official distributors to develop their AI software stack and applications. Arrow AGC—NALA/EMEA PNY—NALA Edom—APAC Leadtek—APAC Syntech—China Macnica—Japan Ryoyo—Japan You can purchase NVIDIA IGX Certified systems directly from official OEM partners. End customers that need customized designs with IGX T5000 can build them by themselves or work with our ecosystem partners to design systems tailored to their specific edge requirements. Custom designs must also go through the NVIDIA certification. IGX has a 10-year product life cycle and enterprise software support from initial market availability. NVIDIA will offer the IGX Orin lineup until 2033. | Product Name | Part Numbers | Regions | Country of Origin | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | IGX Thor Developer Kit | 940-25840-0011-000 | US, CA, JP, TW | China | | IGX Thor Developer Kit | 940-25840-0012-000 | EU, KR, IN, UK | China | | IGX Thor Developer Kit Mini | 940-25160-0081-000 | US, CA, CN, JP, TW | China | | IGX Thor Developer Kit Mini | 940-25160-0082-000 | EU, KR, IN, UK | China | | IGX T7000 | 940-25940-0000-000 | US, CA, CN, JP, TW, EU, KR, IN, UK | USA | | IGX T5000 | 900-23834-0080-000 | US, CA, CN, JP, TW, EU, KR, IN, UK, RS, UA, SG, MY, VN, HK, KR, IL, PH, MX, IN, AU/NZ | USA | | IGX Orin Developer Kit | 940-23840-0001-000 | US, CA, CN, JP, TW | China | | IGX Orin 700 | 940-23940-0000-000 | US, CA, CN, JP, TW, EU, KR, IN, UK | USA | During development, customers should use the IGX forum for general questions and the IGX Safety sub‑forum for safety‑related topics. For post‑production, customers who have purchased NVAIE receive business‑critical support from NVIDIA; customers without NVAIE receive support through the IGX forum. For hardware support, customers have the option to purchase [IGX Developer Kit Hardware support](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/edge-computing/products/igx/) during the initial purchase. This provides next-business-day RMA support to maximize uptime of your development and also support with deep connections to the technical support. For the RMA process, distribution partners provide first‑line technical support and perform initial evaluation. If an issue is diagnosed as a manufacturing defect, the distribution partner will ship a replacement developer kit. ## Get Started With IGX Today [Contact Us](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/edge-computing/products/igx/#contact-us "Contact Us")
