The Jetson Nano Developer Kit is an AI computer for makers, learners, and developers and is available today for $99. It offers out-of-the-box compatibility with common peripherals, including many from Adafruit and Raspberry Pi, and we are adding new distributors including Sparkfun and SeeedStudio. Jetson Nano is supported by the latest JetPack 4.2 software release, along with Jetson AGX Xavier and Jetson TX2.
For those who want to design custom products, the production-ready Jetson Nano module with eMMC (instead of microSD card slot) will be available for $129 in June. The finalized collaterals for product and carrier board design will be released around that time.
so with the 99 buck nano is the sd card the only option for booting the o/s or can one put a ssd in the m2 slot and boot from that? on the camera slot, i read on jetson hacks email that the rpi camera is plug and play with the nano with all drivers/software in o/s build. we’ll see about that one :)
ok, edit, just read it’s m2 keyE which is apparently for wireless cards and not SSD cards. so i guess from that no go on SSD unless via USB3, will it be possible to boot from USB3 drive?
“Over the years, one of the most popular questions has been, “How do I connect a Raspberry Pi camera to the Jetson?” The usual answer was that you have to do some Johnny Genius magic, know way more than anyone should ever have to know about life, and only then you would have a chance of connecting the camera and get it to work. With the Jetson Nano Developer Kit, you plug the RPI camera into the camera port and you are good to go! All of the drivers and software are in the stock image. Also, other camera manufacturers like Leopard Imaging will have ready made solutions available.”
I actually just made the pre-order so I can at least get in line to receive one. I am hoping an NVIDIA admin can comment on shipment dates to sparkfun/aarow etc.
