FCCDSBOARD-NX2-AB Overview
Low-cost vision and monitoring products built on the Jetson Nano still need carrier boards for repairs and the last production batches. The DSBOARD-NX2-AB fits the NVIDIA Jetson Nano module to the Forecr DSBOARD-NX2 industrial carrier board.
The Nano brings a 128-core Maxwell GPU, a quad-core Arm Cortex-A57 CPU and 4 GB of LPDDR4, which suits single-camera analytics and light inference. The CAN bus is not available with the Nano; for CAN, the DSBOARD-NX2-AC with the Xavier NX or the DSBOARD-NX2-AD with the TX2 NX are the options. 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-AB 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. The DSBOARD-NX2-AB is therefore best kept for Nano designs already in service.
