Diamond Systems FLOYD : FLD-BB02 NVIDIA Jetson Nano/Xavier NX/TX2 NX Vision Carrier Board with 4-Lane PCIe NVMe, Supplied Without Module

When the camera count matters more than the network or display count, a cut-down carrier can keep the build simple. The FLD-BB02 is the lower-cost 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. A Jetson Nano gives a quad-core Arm Cortex-A57 CPU and a 472 GFLOPS Maxwell GPU, and a Xavier NX moves to a 6-core Carmel CPU and a 384-core Volta GPU rated at 21 TOPS. All three 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 camera connectors from the full-feature board stay on the FLD-BB02. The FLD-NAO-FS-02 and FLD-XNX-FS-02 are this board with the Nano or Xavier NX installed.

Diamond Systems leaves out the PCIe switch that feeds the extra I/O on the BB01, so the FLD-BB02 gives its M.2 2280 socket a full PCIe x4 link, which can raise NVMe read and write speeds. The board has one Gigabit Ethernet port without PoE, one HDMI 2.0 output, one USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, a microSD slot, eight 3.3 V GPIO lines and two serial ports, one RS-232 and one RS-232/485. There is no Mini PCIe socket and no CAN bus on this version.

The FLD-BB02 takes 12-24 V DC and is rated from -25 to +80 °C, with Diamond heat sink and fan sink accessories and a Linux BSP based on NVIDIA JetPack. For PoE+ cameras, dual HDMI, a Mini PCIe card or CAN with the Xavier NX, the FLD-BB01 is the full-feature version.
