DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN-AA Overview
Network appliances and vision gateways are often designed around the carrier first, with the module chosen once the workload is measured. The DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN-AA is the board-only option in the Forecr DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN series, a dual LAN carrier board for the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano.
It accepts the Orin NX 16GB at 100 TOPS down to the Orin Nano 4GB at 20 TOPS. The DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN-AB16 and DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN-AC8 are two of the fitted versions, so the DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN-AA keeps the module choice open. Cameras connect to four FPC connectors, two 22-pin 0.5 mm for 4-lane and two 15-pin 1.0 mm for 2-lane cameras, set by switch to 2x 4-lane or 4x 2-lane MIPI CSI-2. GMSL2 is not on the carrier; Forecr sells an eight-channel GMSL2 add-on board for Orin NX systems.
On the DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN-AA, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, the second on its own PCIe controller, separate camera or field networks from the uplink. Three USB 3.1 Type-C ports, one of which doubles as the recovery port, and HDMI 2.0 handle peripherals and display. A terminal carries the CAN bus, a software-configurable RS232/422/485 port, two digital inputs and two digital outputs. Storage uses M.2 Key-M 2280 (PCIe x4) and 2230 (PCIe x1) NVMe slots, and an M.2 Key-E 2230 socket takes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; this board has no Key-B or SIM.
The DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN-AA takes 9-28 V DC and is rated from -25 to +85 °C, with a 5 V fan header; Forecr lists JetPack 5.x and 6.x. Forecr’s change notice moves the DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN to board Rev 2.0 from 1 October 2026, with a 9-32 V DC input, a -40 to +85 °C rating, CAN FD and Orin NX Super Mode support.
