Frequently Asked Questions

What power supply is required for this Jetson Orin carrier board?

The board requires a DC power supply providing an input voltage between 9V and 19V, connected via the onboard DC jack. Ensure your power adapter can deliver sufficient current for the Jetson module and any connected peripherals like SSDs or cameras to ensure stable operation under load.

How do I connect cameras to the dual CSI interfaces?

The board has two MIPI CSI-2 connectors: one 4-lane/2-lane port and one 2-lane port. Use compatible ribbon cables to connect NVIDIA-approved camera modules like the IMX219. Configure the camera pipeline within the NVIDIA JetPack SDK, specifying the correct sensor mode and interface lane count in your application code.

Can I install an NVMe SSD and a Wi-Fi module simultaneously?

Yes, the carrier board provides two M.2 Key M slots for NVMe SSDs and one separate M.2 Key E slot specifically for wireless modules like Wi-Fi 6 or Bluetooth adapters. You can populate all slots concurrently, but ensure proper thermal management for the SSDs under continuous high-speed data logging.

What is the purpose of the 40-pin GPIO header?

The color-coded 40-pin GPIO header breaks out multiple interfaces from the Jetson module, including I2C, SPI, UART, PWM, and GPIO pins. It enables direct connection to sensors, actuators, displays, or other MCUs. Refer to the board's pinout diagram to identify the correct signals and their corresponding voltage levels.

Is this carrier board compatible with the official NVIDIA JetPack SDK?

Yes, the board is designed to be fully compatible with the NVIDIA JetPack SDK. After installing your Orin Nano or NX module, flash the board using NVIDIA's standard tools. The peripheral drivers for USB, CSI, and GPIO should function identically to the official developer kit, allowing seamless software migration.
