Diamond Systems FLOYD : FLD-BB01 NVIDIA Jetson Nano/Xavier NX/TX2 NX Vision Carrier Board with Dual PoE+, Supplied Without Module

Teams that source their own Jetson modules, or that standardise on one carrier across several module types, often want the board on its own. The FLD-BB01 is the full-feature Diamond Systems FLOYD vision carrier board, supplied without a module, for the NVIDIA Jetson Nano, Xavier NX and TX2 NX.

The module sits on a 260-pin SO-DIMM connector. With a Jetson Nano, the board runs a quad-core Arm Cortex-A57 CPU and a 472 GFLOPS Maxwell GPU; with a Xavier NX, it moves to a 6-core Carmel CPU and a 384-core Volta GPU rated at 21 TOPS. Three 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 camera connectors take local cameras, and both Gigabit Ethernet ports supply PoE+ to IP cameras when a 50-57 V supply is connected. The FLD-NAO-FS-01 and FLD-XNX-FS-01 are this board with the Nano or Xavier NX installed.

The FLD-BB01 carries the complete FLOYD I/O set: two HDMI 2.0 outputs, one USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports (one with OTG), two RS-232/422/485 serial ports and eight 3.3 V GPIO lines. A full-size Mini PCIe socket takes PCIe or USB cards, and an M.2 2280 socket runs an NVMe SSD at PCIe x1 beside the microSD slot. One CAN 2.0B port becomes active with a Xavier NX, non-isolated as standard with an isolated version to special order.

The FLD-BB01 takes 12-24 V DC and Diamond Systems rates it from -25 to +80 °C, in line with the Jetson Nano and Xavier NX modules. The board takes Diamond heat sink and fan sink accessories and a Linux BSP based on NVIDIA JetPack. The FLD-BB02 is the lower-cost version with a PCIe x4 link to the M.2 socket.
