Diamond Systems OSBOURNE-ER

Commercial Jetson carriers with RJ-45 and USB type A connectors work well on the bench, but connectors can work loose once a system meets shock and vibration. The Diamond Systems OSBOURNE-ER series answers that with rugged Jetson carrier boards for the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, designed for applications that need any combination of high performance, wide temperature and shock and vibration resistance, with latching connectors on every interface.

Each OSBOURNE-ER is a two-board design. Diamond’s Osbourne carrier board connects to a latching I/O adapter through a single 150-pin high-speed connector, and both sit on a bottom-mounted heat spreader mounting plate with embedded thermal pads, so the assembly conduction-cools into the enclosure wall. I/O covers one 1G/2.5G/5G/10G multi-gigabit and one Gigabit Ethernet port, three USB 3.2 ports and one USB 2.0 port, HDMI 2.0a/b, audio, two RS-232/422/485 ports and two RS-232 ports, two CAN 2.0 ports and eight digital I/O lines. A data acquisition circuit adds six 12-bit A/D inputs, two 12-bit D/A outputs and 12 GPIO. A camera adapter socket takes four 4-lane or eight 2-lane CSI-2 cameras, including GMSL through adapters, and expansion runs to M.2 NVMe, M.2 E-key and one full-size minicard socket.

The OSBOURNE-ER range has three models, one per AGX Orin module, and each can be ordered with a 1TB or 2TB SSD. The OSB-ER-32G uses the AGX Orin 32GB at up to 200 TOPS for workloads that fit within 32 GB, ordered from Diamond as OSB-ER-32G-1T or OSB-ER-32G-2T. The OSB-ER-64G moves to the AGX Orin 64GB at up to 275 TOPS for larger models and more streams, as OSB-ER-64G-1T or -2T. The OSB-ER-64GXT fits the AGX Orin Industrial 64GB at up to 248 TOPS and widens the rating from -25 to 78 °C to -40 to 83 °C, as OSB-ER-64GXT-1T or -2T.

Every OSBOURNE-ER takes 7-20 V DC on a latching connector and ships with a Linux image based on NVIDIA L4T, with Diamond’s JetPack 6.2 board support package. Typical installations include autonomous vehicles, robots, airborne payloads and outdoor vision systems. Diamond Systems also builds the Osbourne carrier into the fanless JetBox Osbourne and the sealed Geode-OSB, so OSBOURNE-ER sits between the bare carrier and a fully enclosed computer. We supply each model configured, with the module fitted, storage installed, the image loaded and the assembly tested.
