Forecr DSBOARD-AGXMAX NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Industrial Carrier Boards with 10GbE

When an AGX Orin system has to move camera data or results off the board at more than gigabit speed, the network port becomes the constraint. The Forecr DSBOARD-AGXMAX series is a 140 x 125 mm carrier board with 10GbE for the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, built around a 10G SFP+ cage for supported transceivers plus two Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Forecr lists three modules for the board: the AGX Orin 32GB at 200 TOPS, the AGX Orin 64GB at 275 TOPS and the AGX Orin Industrial at 248 TOPS. Storage runs to 64 GB of eMMC and two M.2 Key-M 2280 slots, each PCIe x4, for NVMe SSDs. An M.2 Key-E socket takes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and an M.2 Key-B socket with nano-SIM takes an LTE or 5G modem. Cameras connect through one 120-pin Samtec camera connector supporting six CSI cameras via an adapter board; Forecr’s eight-channel GMSL2 add-on board brings GMSL2 to AGX systems, so GMSL2 is not on the carrier itself.

The range has three variants. The DSBOARD-AGXMAX-AA is the board without a module, and the board-only option is the route to the AGX Orin Industrial module. The DSBOARD-AGXMAX-AB ships with the AGX Orin 32GB module, and the DSBOARD-AGXMAX-AC with the 64GB module for the largest models.

Industrial wiring uses an 8-pin pluggable terminal for the CAN bus and a software-configurable RS232/422/485 port, with two digital inputs and three digital outputs on a separate 6-pin header. Display and peripherals run over HDMI 2.0 and two USB 3.1 Type-A ports. The DSBOARD-AGXMAX boards take 12-30 V DC, are rated from -25 to +85 °C and have a fan header switchable between 5 V and 11 V. Forecr lists Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 with JetPack 5.x and 6.x, and the boards typically go into vision systems, robotics and networked inspection. Forecr lists the AGX Orin Industrial for sites that need its wider rating. In practice the 10G port often carries camera data or results to a recorder or server, while the two GbE ports handle control and maintenance networks, so the three links keep traffic types apart without an external switch.
