Jackson-ER provides a rugged, compact, economical, and I/O-rich solution for NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano / Orin NX GPU modules. The deeply embedded design with latching I/O connectors fits applications such as robotics or vehicles where shock and vibration pose risks to long term product reliability, as well as box-level solutions where freedom to select different I/O connectors is needed. The available heat spreader mounting plate provides a secure mounting platform and improves heat dissipation, a critical consideration for high performance applications that utilize the Orin modules to their full capacity.

Jackson-ER brings out all I/O from the modules to I/O connectors or expansion sockets. A novel camera adapter connector provides compatibility with any CSI / GMSL camera by means of a simple low-cost adapter board that mounts directly on the bottom of Jackson ER.

For I/O beyond the given baseboard features, an expansion connector provides a convenient way to connect standard or custom I/O daughterboards that mount directly underneath the Jackson carrier board. The connector provides PCIe, USB3, I2C, and power via a flex circuit cable. Daughterboards can be designed to provide extra Ethernet and USB ports, extra M.2 and minicard sockets, and other I/O.

Jackson-ER is available both as a carrier board and as a complete integrated solution with Jetson module and heat spreader installed and Linux OS loaded. See the ordering information tab for part numbers and configurations.
