Forecr DSBOARD-ORNXS-AA NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano Compact Carrier Board, Supplied Without Module

The DSBOARD-ORNXS-AA is the board-only option in the Forecr DSBOARD-ORNXS series: the 60.5 x 91 mm compact carrier board without a module, ready for an Orin NX or Orin Nano. It suits teams that source the module separately, with two 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 cameras and dual GbE on board connectors.

  • Board Only, Four Module Options: Supplied without a module; fits the Orin NX 16GB or 8GB and the Orin Nano 8GB or 4GB.
  • Two 4-Lane MIPI CSI-2 Cameras: Two 22-pin 0.5 mm FPC camera connectors; GMSL2 comes through Forecr’s GMSL-NX add-on board, not the carrier.
  • I/O on Board Connectors: Two GbE and two USB 2.0 on board connectors, plus Mini DisplayPort, CAN and a USB-C recovery port.
  • NVMe and Wi-Fi Sockets: An M.2 Key-M 2230 slot for NVMe storage and an M.2 Key-E 2230 socket for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
  • 60.5 x 91 mm, 9-28 V DC: A 43 g board with a 2-pin Molex Micro-Fit power header, rated from -25 to +85 °C.

DSBOARD-ORNXS-AA Overview

Drone and robot teams often buy carriers ahead of modules so the airframe or chassis can be finished first. The DSBOARD-ORNXS-AA is the board-only option in the Forecr DSBOARD-ORNXS series, a compact carrier board for the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano.

It accepts the Orin NX 16GB down to the Orin Nano 4GB, and Forecr quotes up to 157 TOPS with Orin NX Super Mode. The DSBOARD-ORNXS-AB16 and DSBOARD-ORNXS-AC8 are two of the fitted versions, so the DSBOARD-ORNXS-AA keeps the choice open. Cameras connect to two 22-pin 0.5 mm FPC connectors, each a 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 input. GMSL2 is not on the carrier; Forecr’s Rev 2.0 manual for this board lists its GMSL-NX add-on board for up to eight GMSL2 cameras with power over coax.

On the DSBOARD-ORNXS-AA, two Gigabit Ethernet ports and two USB 2.0 ports sit on board connectors, which suits compact enclosures that route cables internally. A Mini DisplayPort drives displays at up to 3840 x 2160, and a USB 3.0 Type-C port serves recovery. The CAN bus has its own board connector, and there is no RS232/422/485 port, so serial needs come through the UART lines on the expansion header. Storage is an M.2 Key-M 2230 NVMe slot, and an M.2 Key-E 2230 socket takes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The DSBOARD-ORNXS-AA takes 9-28 V DC on a 2-pin Molex Micro-Fit header, weighs 43 g on its 60.5 x 91 mm board and is rated from -25 to +85 °C, and it has an RTC and a 5 V fan header. Forecr lists Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 with JetPack 5.x and 6.x.

White Paper The GMSL Camera Interface: Integrating Stereolabs ZED X with NVIDIA Jetson The ZED X is a GMSL2 camera, not USB. Connecting it to a Jetson means the right deserialiser on the carrier board and a board support package configured to match. Here is how the integration actually works.
