Diamond Systems ELTON : ELT-BB03 NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Industrial Carrier Board with On-Board DAQ, Supplied Without Module

Many AGX Xavier builds get all the I/O they need from the carrier and its sockets, without a stack of expansion cards. The ELT-BB03 is the Diamond Systems ELTON industrial carrier board for the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier without the PCIe/104 or PCI-104 connectors, supplied without a module.

The AGX Xavier delivers up to 32 TOPS from a 512-core Volta GPU with Tensor Cores, with power modes of 10, 15 or 30 W for different thermal budgets. A camera module connector takes up to six 2-lane CSI cameras, and storage runs to UFS flash and an M.2 2242 PCIe x4 NVMe SSD. Where stacked I/O cards are needed, the ELT-BB01 adds PCIe/104 and the ELT-BB02 adds both PCIe/104 and PCI-104.

The ELT-BB03 keeps the full ELTON I/O set: two Gigabit Ethernet ports, two USB 3.1 and two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI and LVDS outputs, audio, four software-configurable RS-232/422/485 ports and two 1 Mbps CAN ports. A SAM data acquisition circuit adds six 12-bit A/D inputs at up to 1 MSPS, two 12-bit D/A outputs and 13 GPIO lines, with Diamond’s C library and GUI control panel. A Mini PCIe socket and a NimbeLink Skywire socket take a wireless card and a cellular modem.

Diamond Systems rates the ELTON board from -40 to +85 °C on its datasheet and specifies a 9-20 V DC input. Almost every connector on the board latches to hold up under vibration. The ELT-BB03 takes Diamond’s ACC-HSELT-01 heat spreader and mounting plate for conduction cooling, and Diamond lists it with a minimum order quantity.
