Forecr DSBOARD-XV2 NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Industrial Carrier Boards

AGX Xavier systems are still in service in vehicles, inspection lines and robots, and keeping them running means sourcing carriers that match the original design, connectors and software image. The Forecr DSBOARD-XV2 series is a 100 x 100 mm industrial carrier board for the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier. Forecr lists the DSBOARD-XV2 as end-of-life, and we supply it while stock lasts.

Cameras connect to six 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. Every board has one software-configurable RS232/422/485 port, a CAN bus, two digital inputs and three digital outputs, with one Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 3.1 Type-A ports, two USB-C ports for debug and recovery, and HDMI 2.0 at 3840 x 2160. Storage combines 32 or 64 GB of module eMMC with an M.2 Key-M 2280 NVMe slot and microSD, and an M.2 Key-E socket takes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. A Samtec high-speed connector brings out PCIe x8, PCIe x1 and DisplayPort.

The four variants differ only by module, and the suffixes are module options rather than port counts. The DSBOARD-XV2-AA is the board without a module, the DSBOARD-XV2-AB ships with the AGX Xavier 32GB, the DSBOARD-XV2-AC with the AGX Xavier Industrial, and the DSBOARD-XV2-AD with the AGX Xavier 64GB. The serial complement is the same on all four: one RS232/422/485 port. The 32GB and 64GB modules deliver 32 TOPS from a 512-core Volta GPU and an 8-core Arm CPU, and the Industrial module delivers 30 TOPS with an extended temperature rating for harsher sites.

The DSBOARD-XV2 boards take 18-30 V DC on a 4-pin pluggable terminal and are rated from -25 to +85 °C, with a 5 V fan header for the active cooling the module needs. Forecr lists Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 with JetPack 4.x and 5.x. Because the board is no longer made, it suits repairs, spares and final production runs of systems already qualified on AGX Xavier. For new designs, the AGX Orin carrier boards in the Forecr range are the current route, and the DSBOARD-AGX keeps the 100 x 100 mm footprint.
