Diamond Systems STEVIE : STV-BB01 NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Industrial Carrier Board with Dual GbE and ADC/DAC, Supplied Without Module

Teams that already hold AGX Xavier modules, or need the 8GB or 16GB version, usually want the carrier on its own. The STV-BB01 is the full-feature model of the Diamond Systems STEVIE industrial carrier board for the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier, supplied without a module.

The STV-BB01 takes the AGX Xavier 8GB, 16GB and 32GB modules, which mount underneath the board on four M3 spacers; the 32GB module gives up to 32 TOPS from a 512-core Volta GPU. A camera connector with 4x 4 CSI-2 lanes takes four 4-lane cameras, or up to eight 2-lane cameras, through an adapter board, which suits multi-camera inspection and robot vision work. The STV-AGX32-01 is this board with the 32GB module installed and programmed, and the STV-BB02 is the single-Ethernet version.

The STV-BB01 has two Gigabit Ethernet ports on a dual stacked RJ-45 jack, two USB 3.1 and two USB 2.0 ports, two HDMI outputs, two CAN ports and audio. Four RS-232/422/485 serial ports cover PLCs and instruments, and a microcontroller adds six 12-bit analogue inputs, two 12-bit analogue outputs and 13 GPIO lines, supported by Diamond’s free C library and a GUI control panel with data logging. Storage and expansion run to an M.2 2280 NVMe socket on four PCIe lanes, a UFS flash and microSD socket and a full-size Mini PCIe socket with PCIe and USB for flash or I/O expansion modules.

The STEVIE board is only slightly larger than the AGX Xavier module itself, and the most-used connectors sit along the front edge with commercial-style panel I/O, so it can mount behind an enclosure panel with fewer internal cables. It takes 9-20 V DC, and Diamond rates the carrier from -40 to +85 °C. Diamond’s CK-STV-01 cable kit covers the pin-header I/O and the power connector on the STV-BB01.
