Diamond Systems JACKSON : JAX-ASY-ONA8

The I/O expansion connector on the JAX-ASY-ONA8 allows users to customize their Rugged Jetson Orin Nano Carrier Board using cost-efficient daughterboards that attach directly to the Jackson carrier board. Through the connector, PCIe, USB3, I2C, and power are all accessible through a flex circuit cable. Additionally, daughterboard designs can add extra Ethernet and USB ports, M.2 and minicard sockets, and a variety of other options such as Ethernet switches and PoE PD circuitry.

The M.2 M key socket onboard the Jackson JAX-ASY-ONA8 supports NVMe PCIe x4 connectivity and is generally used for mass storage, since the Orin Nano and Orin NX modules lack integrated eMMC mass storage. The socket supports both 2242 and 2280 size modules, and all mounting hardware is included. A full-size minicard socket provides both PCIe and USB interfaces to support a wide range of I/O modules including analog, digital, serial, Ethernet, WiFi, and Bluetooth. An M.2 E key 2230 socket supports the installation of modem, WiFi, and Bluetooth modules for mobile applications.
