Forecr DSBOARD-NX2-AA NVIDIA Jetson Nano, TX2 NX and Xavier NX Industrial Carrier Board, Supplied Without Module

The DSBOARD-NX2-AA is the board-only option in the Forecr DSBOARD-NX2 series: the industrial carrier board without a module, for a Jetson Nano, TX2 NX or Xavier NX. It suits spares and final production runs. Forecr lists the DSBOARD-NX2 as end-of-life, and we supply it while stock lasts.

  • Board Only, Three Module Families: Supplied without a module; fits the Jetson Nano, TX2 NX or Xavier NX for spares and existing designs.
  • Two 2-Lane MIPI CSI-2 Cameras: Two 15-pin 1.0 mm FPC camera connectors, Raspberry Pi camera compatible according to Forecr; no GMSL.
  • CAN with Xavier NX or TX2 NX: The CAN bus works with the Xavier NX and TX2 NX modules only, alongside RS232/422/485 and 2-in/3-out DIO.
  • Three M.2 Sockets: M.2 Key-M 2280 for NVMe, Key-E for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and Key-B with SIM for LTE or 5G.
  • End-of-Life at Forecr: Supplied while stock lasts; 9-28 V DC input and a -25 to +85 °C rating on a 100 x 100 mm board.

DSBOARD-NX2-AA Overview

Products already in the field on a Jetson Nano, TX2 NX or Xavier NX often need replacement carriers rather than a redesign. The DSBOARD-NX2-AA is the board-only option in the Forecr DSBOARD-NX2 series, an industrial carrier board supplied without a module.

It takes all three module families. Fitted versions are the DSBOARD-NX2-AB with the Jetson Nano and the DSBOARD-NX2-AC with the Xavier NX at 21 TOPS, so the DSBOARD-NX2-AA suits teams that hold their own modules. The CAN bus works with the Xavier NX and TX2 NX only. Cameras connect to two 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 inputs on 15-pin 1.0 mm FPC connectors, which Forecr describes as Raspberry Pi camera compatible. There is no GMSL on this board.

The DSBOARD-NX2-AA handles data and display over one Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 3.1 Type-A ports and HDMI 2.0 at 3840 x 2160, with a microUSB recovery port and a 3.3 V debug UART. A pluggable terminal carries a software-configurable RS232/422/485 port, two digital inputs and three digital outputs. Storage is the module’s 16 GB eMMC plus an M.2 Key-M 2280 NVMe slot and microSD, and M.2 Key-E and Key-B sockets with a SIM slot take Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE or 5G.

Power comes in at 9-28 V DC on a 4-pin pluggable terminal, a 5 V fan header supports active cooling, the 100 x 100 mm board is rated from -25 to +85 °C, and Forecr lists Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 with JetPack 4.x and 5.x. Forecr lists the DSBOARD-NX2 as end-of-life; we still supply it while stock lasts. New designs on the DSBOARD-NX2-AA footprint can move to the Orin NX and Orin Nano.

Official Forecr UK Distributor

Things Embedded is an official Forecr UK distributor. The DSBOARD-NX2-AA is end-of-life at Forecr; for new builds the DSBOARD-ORNX takes the Orin NX and Orin Nano on the same footprint.

The DSBOARD-NX2-AA sits with our NVIDIA Jetson carrier boards, and the Xavier NX products we list cover the other builds on that module.
