Forecr DSBOX-ORNX-AA NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX or Orin Nano Fanless Embedded Computer

Early in a project the right Jetson tier is often still open, and a fleet may later mix lighter and heavier sites. The DSBOX-ORNX-AA is the configurable listing in the Forecr DSBOX-ORNX series, a fanless embedded computer built with whichever supported NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX or Orin Nano module the workload calls for.

Supported modules are the Jetson Orin Nano 4GB with 4 GB of 64-bit LPDDR5, the Orin Nano 8GB with 8 GB of 128-bit LPDDR5, the Orin NX 8GB with 8 GB of LPDDR5, and the Orin NX 16GB with 16 GB of 128-bit LPDDR5. With the Orin NX 16GB fitted, the DSBOX-ORNX-AA reaches the 100 TOPS quoted for the series. Ubuntu Linux 20.04 and JetPack 5.1 are supported across all four.

Whichever module is chosen, the DSBOX-ORNX-AA keeps the same I/O: one Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 3.1 Type-A ports, an HDMI 2.0 output at up to 3840 x 2160, one CAN bus port, one RS232 and one RS422 port, and two digital inputs with two digital outputs, plus a micro USB 2.0 recovery port. Two M.2 Key-M slots take SSD storage, one 2280 socket on four PCIe lanes and one 2230 socket, while an M.2 Key-B socket with SIM slot and an M.2 Key-E socket add LTE, 5G or WiFi modules. A 9-28 VDC input suits common 12 V and 24 V supplies.

Thermal management cools the module without a fan across a -25°C to +85°C ambient range, and Forecr houses it in an industrial-grade fanless enclosure for harsh factory sites. The embedded computer measures 110 x 130 x 60 mm and weighs 760 g. Where the module is already settled, the DSBOX-ORNX-AB16 fixes the Orin NX 16GB and the DSBOX-ORNX-AC4 the Orin Nano 4GB.
