Create carrier board for Xavier NX & Jetson Nano

Dear Nvidia community,

i am currently planning on designing a carrier board for the Jetson Nano. I only need the pcie lines, ethernet, usb 3.0 and - of course - power.

I started the design a few months ago before the NX got announced. I am now planning on creating a so called “pro” version of my product utilizing the higher end hardware of the Xavier NX.

Now it would be nice to know if I can use both modules with the same carrier board or if I need to change the SO-DIMM Pinout. Anybody can help me with this?

I did a little bit of research in the documentations of both modules and they look quiet similar.

I would really appreciate some help!

Hi

Nano module and Xavier NX module are not compatible.
First, VIN_DC power is different…

I’m looking at doing the same but the Jetson_Xavier_NX_and_Jetson_Nano_Interface_Comparison_Migration_Application_Note_DA-09761-00 pdf file states that those two do infact use the same VIN_DC. Could you comfirm that what you said was true because it looks like your statement was incorrect, which raises the question again as to wether a carrier board can be designed for both.
