Forecr DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN-AB8 NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8GB Dual LAN Carrier Board with Three USB-C and CAN Bus

The DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN-AB8 is the Forecr DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN dual LAN carrier board supplied with the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8GB module at 70 TOPS. It balances compute and cost, with two GbE ports, four FPC camera connectors and three USB-C ports.

  • Jetson Orin NX 8GB Fitted: Ships with the Orin NX 8GB module: 70 TOPS, a 6-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU and 8 GB LPDDR5.
  • Dual Gigabit Ethernet: Two GbE RJ45 ports, the second on its own PCIe controller, for separate camera and uplink networks.
  • Four FPC Camera Connectors: Two 22-pin and two 15-pin FPC connectors give 2x 4-lane or 4x 2-lane MIPI CSI-2; GMSL2 needs an add-on board.
  • CAN, RS232/422/485 and NVMe: CAN bus and a software-configurable serial port on a terminal, plus M.2 Key-M 2280 and 2230 NVMe slots.
  • 9-28 V DC, -25 to +85 °C: Wide DC input and a -25 to +85 °C rating; board Rev 2.0 widens these to 9-32 V and -40 °C.

DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN-AB8 Overview

Gateways that run inference on a few camera feeds and pass results upstream often fit the Orin NX 8GB. The DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN-AB8 fits the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8GB module to the Forecr DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN dual LAN carrier board.

The Orin NX 8GB delivers 70 TOPS from an Ampere GPU and a 6-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU, with 8 GB of LPDDR5; on board Rev 2.0, Super Mode raises that to 117 TOPS. The DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN-AB16 steps up to the 16GB module, and the DSBOARD-ORNX-LAN-AC8 fits the Orin Nano 8GB. 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-AB8, 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-AB8 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.
