Embedded Computing Solutions for NVIDIA Jetson TX2/TX2i and AGX Xavier Modules
Eletter ProductDiamond Systems has introduced a family of solutions for delivering AI-at-the-edge high performance computing solutions based on NVIDIA® Jetson™ TX2, TX2i and AGX Xavier™ modules. The family includes three carrier solutions as well as an ultra-compact complete system. These solutions target a range of commercial, industrial, and rugged military applications, with a focus on harsh environments such as vehicles and other outdoor applications.
The Ziggy carrier for Jetson TX2/TX2i targets size- and cost-sensitive designs. At 50x87mm (2.0x3.4”), it matches the size of the Jetson modules and provides commercial style connectors for I/O. The compact ZiggyBox computer system houses the Ziggy carrier and a Jetson module in an enclosure with DIN rail mounting capability. Its compact size fits into crowded spaces for local AI at the edge / machine learning applications.
Jethro, at 76x107mm (3.0x4.2”), is a slightly larger TX2/TX2i carrier that offers far greater I/O and expansion capability, as well as a rugged connector scheme. Jethro includes a PCIe MiniCard socket, an M.2 SATA flash socket, and an LTE modem socket designed to work with Nimbelink SkyWire cellular modems.
Elton is a full-featured, rugged carrier board designed to work with the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier module. Elton utilizes a 50% thicker PCB, latching connectors, and the rugged PCI/104-Express expansion bus (PCI and PCIe bus expansion) to create a rugged, I/O-expandable platform ideal for the most demanding compute-intensive harsh-environment applications. Elton’s larger size of 102x152mm (4x6”) allows it to include all the I/O and expansion of Diamond’s other Jetson carriers: data acquisition, M.2 and PCIe MiniCard sockets, 8-lane CSI camera module socket, and LTE modem socket.
These off-the-shelf carriers can also serve as the starting point for a customized solution. Diamond frequently accepts customer requests to modify our board and system level products, for example by adding more I/O functionality or removing unneeded features for cost savings. This approach offers a perfect-fit solution in terms of needed functionality, reduced risk, reduced development and production costs, and reduced time to market.
