DFRobot NVIDIA® Nano™ & Xavier™ NX Jetson Carrier Board
DFRobot NVIDIA® Jetson Nano™ and Xavier™ NX Jetson Carrier Board operates as a high-performance, entry-level expansion board created to bridge the gap between theoretical AI concepts and practical edge computing deployment. The board is designed to host NVIDIA Jetson Nano, Jetson Xavier NX, and Jetson TX2™ NX SoMs. The carrier board unlocks AI performance ranging from 472 GFLOPS up to 21 TOPS, ideal for handling tasks from basic image classification to complex Generative AI and Deep Learning models.
The DFRobot NVIDIA Jetson Nano and Xavier NX Jetson Carrier Board is engineered for cost-effectiveness without compromising connectivity. The platform integrates a 40-pin GPIO header compatible with the Raspberry Pi ecosystem, high-speed M.2 NVMe storage support, and multiple MIPI-CSI camera interfaces. The board can be deployed in ROS robot development, real-time object-tracking systems, or automated visual inspection setups.
NOTE: This product is a Carrier Board only. The NVIDIA Jetson System-on-Module (SoM) is NOT included and must be purchased separately to function.
