Build a Rugged Industrial Jetson AGX Orin Computer with Osbourne
The Osbourne is a versatile rugged industrial NVIDIA Jetson carrier board solution for the AGX Orin family of high-performance system-on-modules for edge AI. It offers access to all I/O functionalities of the AGX Orin module and incorporates multiple sockets for I/O augmentation. Osbourne-ER is the newest member of the Osbourne lineage, featuring a latching I/O panel explicitly designed for use in rugged applications that demand shock and vibration resistance and a low-profile design. Osbourne-ER is the perfect selection for any Jetson AI application that prioritises rugged dependability over a more affordable industrial grade solution that employs commercial-grade connectors.

Key Features of Osbourne:
- Commercial, rugged latching, and MIL-STD I/O connectors for a range of edge computing applications.
- Active-fanned heatsink or bottom mounted installation plate with built-in heat spreader provides thermal dissipation and simplified installation.
- Flexible with CSI, GMSL, and other industry-standard camera adapter sockets.
- High-speed 10Gb Ethernet + 1GB Ethernet ports.
- Extended temperature operation matching the AGX Orin Industrial system-on-modules.
- Two Minicard sockets supporting both PCIe and USB signal interfaces.
- Dual M.2 sockets for NVMe SSD storage (2242/2280 M-Key) and wireless network connectivity (2230 E-Key).
As a USA distributor for Diamond Systems, Things Embedded can provide Osbourne-ER as a complete integrated solution with your choice of AGX Orin SOM, AGX Orin 32GB, AGX Orin 64GB, and Orin Industrial 64GB. We can pre-configure the embedded AI systems with onboard expansion such as SSD or I/O modules along with the mounting plate with built in heat spreader. The Linux OS based on Nvidia L4T will be preloaded with the preferred JetPack variant.
The Advantage of Osborne's I/O Panel Architecture for Embedded Systems
Osbourne is a dual-board solution composed of the primary carrier board linked to an I/O breakout board or adapter. A solitary 150-Pin high-speed connector transports all the power and I/O between the two boards, enabling the Osbourne to be compatible with a range of commercial off-the-shelf I/O adapters and seamlessly integrated into both industrial and rugged embedded systems. Custom I/O panels are also available, offering a fast time to market and reduced cost of ownership.
Industrial I/O Panel [Osbourne & JetBox Osbourne]
For an industrial-grade solution using commercial connectors, the Osbourne is a cost-effective option. This I/O panel features two RJ45 connectors for 10Gb and 1Gb Ethernet, four USB3 Type A connectors, two DB9 connectors for RS232/422/485, two jumper-selectable RJ11 connectors for CAN or RS-232, and a Type A vertical HDMI connect for display output. The JetBox-Osbourne industrial Jetson PC is built on the Osbourne carrier board with commercial I/O panel and provides room for breaking out onboard expansion. Built on a solid-state design, Jetbox Osbourne has a fanless architecture with a chassis designed for optimum passive cooling for most industrial edge computing applications.
Rugged Latching I/O Panel [Osbourne-ER]
The 150-Pin I/O connector on the Osbourne-ER allows for high-density I/O breakout with rugged latching connectors. This latest version of Osbourne is specifically engineered to excel in demanding and rugged environments that necessitate a combination of attributes such as high-performance computing with the ability to cool passively across a wide temperature range, and resistance to repeat shock and vibration where loose cable assemblies won't become a concern. This makes it an ideal choice for industries and applications where reliability under extreme conditions is critical, such as aerospace, defense, heavy-industrial automation, and transportation. Its rugged design ensures consistent performance and durability, even in the most challenging operational scenarios.
MIL-STD I/O Panel [Geode-Osbourne]
The latest rugged mission computer from Diamond Systems, the Geode-Osbourne, has an internal architecture which utilizes a direct-mount MIL-STD I/O panel board to eliminate most internal cables. The board integrates a combination of MIL-STD 38999 and SJT rugged high-speed connectors to accommodate the comprehensive range of I/O offered by the Jetson AGX Orin module and the carrier board's electronic components. The Geode-Osbourne I/O panel also includes a MIL-STD-461 filter, which helps reduce cost in applications where a MIL-grade power supply is not required. Given that every rugged military computer system is unique, GEODE-Osbourne accommodates up to 60 extra I/O signals ready for expansion breakout. This facilitates the integration of Minicard I/O modules without necessitating alterations to the casing or wiring. The removal of custom design and production efforts significantly cuts initial expenses and shortens delivery periods.
