Geode-OSB Overview
Running vision AI on a vehicle or a remote mast means sealing a high-power GPU module against water and dust while still getting heat, camera feeds and network traffic in and out. The Diamond Systems GEODE-OSB is a rugged edge AI computer built for that job. It takes the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin module, mounts it on Diamond’s Osbourne carrier board and closes it in a three-part CNC aluminium enclosure with no T joints, sealing gaskets at every joint and connector cutout, and an IP67 rating.
The GEODE-OSB supports all three AGX Orin modules: AGX Orin 32GB, AGX Orin 64GB and AGX Orin Industrial 64GB. NVIDIA rates the AGX Orin 64GB at up to 275 TOPS, which gives room to run detection, tracking and segmentation models side by side on several streams. The Jetson module is mounted to the top lid and the optional power supply to the bottom lid, which spreads heat into the enclosure and keeps the interior cooler for long-term operation.
High-speed signals use dedicated rugged SJT connectors: one 10Gb copper Ethernet port, two USB 3.2 ports with USB 2.0 fallback, and HDMI. A 66-pin D38999 connector carries one GbE port, two USB 2.0 ports, two RS-232 and two RS-232/422/485 ports, two CAN ports, eight 3.3 V GPIO and audio. A second D38999 connector offers 60 pins for user I/O from installed Mini PCIe or M.2 modules, two SMA connectors serve a modem or other communications module, and a GMSL adapter board can add up to eight GMSL cameras on sealed Fakra connectors.
Power arrives on a D38999 connector at 9-36 V DC isolated or 7-20 V DC non-isolated. A MIL-STD-461 filter is built into the panel I/O board, and an optional 80 W MIL-grade supply adds MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-704 and MIL-STD-1275 compliance. The GEODE-OSB operates from -40 to +80 °C and is designed to meet MIL-STD-810H shock and vibration. For an x86 alternative in the same family, see the GEODE, or the JETBOX-OSBOURNE for a Jetson AGX Orin system outside sealed environments.

Official Diamond Systems UK Distributor
Things Embedded is an official Diamond Systems UK distributor, supplying the GEODE-OSB with the AGX Orin module, storage and camera options specified for each programme. The GEODE shares the Geode enclosure and connector board approach with a COM Express Intel Core i7 processor, and the JETBOX-OSBOURNE puts the same AGX Orin module in a fanless DIN rail unit for cabinet installs. Both share Diamond's approach of pre-integrated expansion connectors, so extra I/O can be added through installed modules without a new enclosure or cable set, which helps keep lead times short for pilot and small-run programmes.
Across our range, the GEODE-OSB sits with our rugged Jetson computers and our edge AI computers, and its MIL-STD design and sealed connectors also place it among our rugged mission computers and our IP67 computers for defence and vehicle vision programmes. For multi-camera programmes, the optional GMSL adapter and up to eight Fakra connectors keep camera cabling sealed at the enclosure wall instead of passing through cable glands. Its MIL-STD-810H design and optional MIL-STD-461/704/1275 supply give defence programmes a clear basis for their own qualification.
