Description
Waveshare JETSON-ORIN-IO-BASE is a Jetson Orin Nano/NX AI base board built for Jetson Orin Nano and Jetson Orin NX modules. The Waveshare-24726 carrier board provides a compact interface layout close to the official Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit, making it practical for AI edge development, robotics, vision, and embedded computing projects.
This product is the base board only. Jetson Orin modules, storage drives, wireless cards, camera adapter cables, cooling fans, and other peripherals shown in reference images are not included unless explicitly listed.
Features
- Compatible with Jetson Orin Nano and Jetson Orin NX modules through the 260PIN SO-DIMM socket.
- Rich AI development interfaces: CSI camera connectors, DisplayPort, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, USB Type-C, 40PIN GPIO, PWM fan header, and RTC battery header.
- Flexible storage and wireless expansion: onboard 2 x M.2 Key M slots for NVMe SSDs and 1 x M.2 Key E slot for a wireless NIC.
- Camera-ready design: 2 x MIPI CSI 4-lane camera connectors for AI vision applications such as face recognition, road-sign recognition, and license-plate recognition.
- Wide DC input: supports 9V to 19V power input through a 5.5 x 2.5mm DC jack.
- Color-coded 40PIN GPIO: helps identify I2C, SPI, I2S, UART, GPIO, and related resources during development.
