Diamond Systems STEVIE : STV-AGX32-01 NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier 32GB Industrial Carrier Board with Dual GbE and ADC/DAC

AGX Xavier designs that need analog measurement and serial I/O next to the module often end up with a second board in the enclosure. The STV-AGX32-01 fits the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier 32GB module to the full-feature model of the Diamond Systems STEVIE industrial carrier board, with the module installed underneath and programmed with Linux.

The AGX Xavier 32GB module delivers up to 32 TOPS from a 512-core NVIDIA Volta GPU with 64 Tensor Cores and an 8-core Arm v8.2 64-bit CPU, with 32 GB of 256-bit LPDDR4x memory and 32 GB of eMMC on the module. A camera connector with 4x 4 CSI-2 lanes takes four 4-lane cameras, or up to eight 2-lane cameras, through an adapter board, which suits multi-camera inspection and robot vision work. The STV-AGX32-02 keeps the same module and data acquisition with one Ethernet port, and the STV-AGX32-03 is the economy build with two serial ports and 16 GPIO.

The STV-AGX32-01 has two Gigabit Ethernet ports on a dual stacked RJ-45 jack, two USB 3.1 and two USB 2.0 ports, two HDMI outputs, two CAN ports and audio. Four RS-232/422/485 serial ports cover PLCs and instruments, and a microcontroller adds six 12-bit analog inputs, two 12-bit analog outputs and 13 GPIO lines, supported by Diamond’s free C library and a GUI control panel with data logging. Storage and expansion run to an M.2 2280 NVMe socket on four PCIe lanes, a UFS flash and microSD socket and a full-size Mini PCIe socket with PCIe and USB for flash or I/O expansion modules.

The STEVIE board is only slightly larger than the AGX Xavier module itself, and the most-used connectors sit along the front edge with commercial-style panel I/O, so it can mount behind an enclosure panel with fewer internal cables. It takes 9-20 V DC, and Diamond rates the carrier from -40 to +85 °C. The AGX Xavier module itself is rated -25 to +80 °C, so the module sets the operating limit for the STV-AGX32-01. The same carrier is available without a module as the STV-BB01.
