Neousys FLYC-300-JON16 NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB Board-Level Drone Companion Computer with 2x GMSL2

When a drone has to detect, track and navigate in the same flight, memory decides whether the models run together or take turns, and weight decides how long it flies. The FLYC-300-JON16 is the board-level 16GB build in the Neousys FLYC-300 series: a drone companion computer on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB, 297 g on its heat spreader, mounted directly to the airframe and powered from the pack.

The Orin NX 16GB system-on-module pairs an NVIDIA Ampere GPU with Arm Cortex CPU cores and 16 GB of LPDDR5 at 3200 MHz, and Neousys quotes up to 100 TOPS for the series. That memory lets a multi-camera detection pipeline, a depth-based obstacle model and a navigation policy share the module next to the flight controller.

The FLYC-300-JON16 carries the full sensor set. Two GMSL2 FAKRA Z inputs take two 1920 x 1080 cameras at 60 FPS or two 2880 x 1860 cameras at 30 FPS, one GbE and one 2.5GbE port carry IP cameras, LiDAR or radar, and one USB 3.2 Gen 2 and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 port cover USB sensors. Internal UART, CAN 2.0, I2C and isolated 2x DI and 4x DO connect the flight controller, an M.2 2230 NVMe socket on PCIe Gen4 x4 and a micro SD slot hold the image and captured data, and an M.2 B key socket with micro SIM accepts a 4G or 5G module. The same 16GB module with an enclosure and three antenna holes is the FLYC-300-EC-JON16.

An XT-30 connector accepts 12 V to 60 V DC, covering 4S to 14S battery packs. The FLYC-300-JON16 operates from -25 °C to 40 °C without heat spreader attachment, to 60 °C when the heat spreader is secured to an aluminium surface, and to 70 °C on that mount with 4S to 6S packs; sub-zero operation needs a wide temperature SSD. Vibration and shock are tested in operation to MIL-STD-810H, with EN 62368-1 safety and CE and FCC Class A EMC, so this drone companion computer suits inspection and autonomous navigation payloads that need the headroom.
