DSBOARD-AGX-AA Overview
Some projects need the carrier board in hand before the module is chosen: the enclosure, cabling and camera layout can be proven while the team settles on a memory tier. The DSBOARD-AGX-AA is the board-only option in the Forecr DSBOARD-AGX series, an industrial carrier board for the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin supplied without a module.
It accepts the AGX Orin 32GB module, which delivers 200 TOPS, or the AGX Orin 64GB at 275 TOPS. The same board ships with each module fitted as the DSBOARD-AGX-AB and DSBOARD-AGX-AC, so moving from the DSBOARD-AGX-AA to a fitted build changes nothing on the carrier. Cameras connect through one 120-pin Samtec camera connector that supports six CSI cameras via an adapter board. GMSL2 is not on the carrier: Forecr sells an eight-channel GMSL2 add-on board for AGX systems, alongside six-channel MIPI CSI-2 and analogue video boards.
On the DSBOARD-AGX-AA, field wiring lands on a 14-pin pluggable terminal carrying the CAN bus, a software-configurable RS232/422/485 port, two digital inputs and three digital outputs. Storage combines 64 GB of eMMC 5.1 with an M.2 Key-M 2280 slot for a PCIe x4 NVMe SSD and a microSD slot, and an M.2 Key-B 3042 socket with nano-SIM takes an LTE or 5G modem. Display and data run over HDMI 2.0, one Gigabit Ethernet port and two USB 3.1 Type-A ports.
Power comes in at 12-30 V DC on a 4-pin pluggable terminal, the board is rated from -25 to +85 °C, and the fan header runs at 11 V or 5 V for the cooling an AGX Orin module needs. Forecr lists Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 with JetPack 5.x and 6.x. The DSBOARD-AGX-AA keeps those choices open on a 100 x 100 mm board that typically goes into robotics, automation and multi-camera inspection.

Official Forecr UK Distributor
Things Embedded is an official Forecr UK distributor, and the DSBOARD-AGX-AA is the Forecr AGX Orin carrier supplied without a module. If the build needs a 10G SFP+ cage and two NVMe slots, the DSBOARD-AGXMAX takes the same modules on a larger board.
The DSBOARD-AGX-AA sits with our other Jetson AGX Orin carrier boards and the wider range of NVIDIA Jetson carrier boards.
