Forecr DSBOARD-ORNX-AC4 NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 4GB Industrial Carrier Board with CAN Bus and 9-28 V DC Input

Sensor gateways and single-camera analytics rarely need more than an entry-level Orin module. The DSBOARD-ORNX-AC4 fits the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 4GB module to the Forecr DSBOARD-ORNX industrial carrier board.

The Orin Nano 4GB delivers 20 TOPS from an Ampere GPU and a 6-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU, with 4 GB of LPDDR5; on board Rev 2.0, Super Mode raises that to 34 TOPS. The DSBOARD-ORNX-AC8 doubles the memory with the Orin Nano 8GB, and the DSBOARD-ORNX-AA is the board without a module. Cameras connect to four FPC connectors, two 22-pin 0.5 mm for 4-lane cameras and two 15-pin 1.0 mm for 2-lane cameras, which a DIP switch sets 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.

The DSBOARD-ORNX-AC4 has one Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 3.1 Type-A ports and HDMI 2.0 at 3840 x 2160 for data and display. A 14-pin terminal carries the CAN bus, two separate serial ports (one RS232 and one RS422), two digital inputs and two digital outputs. There are two M.2 Key-M slots for NVMe (2280 at PCIe x4 and 2230 at PCIe x1), an M.2 Key-E 2230 socket for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and an M.2 Key-B 3042 socket with nano-SIM for LTE or 5G.

The DSBOARD-ORNX-AC4 takes 9-28 V DC and is rated from -25 to +85 °C, with a 5 V fan header; Forecr lists Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 with JetPack 5.x and 6.x. Forecr’s change notice moves the DSBOARD-ORNX to board Rev 2.0 from 1 October 2026, with a 9-32 V DC input, a -40 to +85 °C rating, a CAN FD transceiver and Orin NX Super Mode support.
