Schematic with SD Card interface on Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson Systems Jetson Orin Nano

Hi Team,
Greetings!
We are trying to design our own Jetson Orin Nano Carrier Board. As there is no SD/SDIO interface in Orin Nano Module. Suggest us a best way to use the SD Card. Also, list out the support card types and File system format.
And we found the base version of the Dev kit schematics (Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit Carrier Board Reference Design Files A04 - 20230320) from this link. Do we have updated schematics? If so, please provide them.

Thank you.

Based on the provided context, I’ll address the questions and provide a comprehensive answer.

SD Card Interface on Jetson Orin Nano Module

Since the Jetson Orin Nano Module does not have an SDSDIO interface, you’ll need to use an alternative interface to connect an SD card to your custom carrier board. Here are a few options:

  1. USB interface: You can use a USB-to-SD card adapter or a USB-SD card reader module. This will allow you to connect an SD card to your carrier board via a USB interface.
  2. PCIe interface: If your carrier board has a PCIe interface, you can use a PCIe-to-SD card adapter or a PCIe-SD card reader module.
  3. SPI interface: Although not as common, some SD card modules support SPI interfaces. If your carrier board has an SPI interface, you can use an SPI-to-SD card adapter or an SPI-SD card reader module.

Supported Card Types and File System Format

The Jetson Orin Nano Module supports various SD card types, including:

  • SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity)
  • SDXC (Secure Digital Extended Capacity)
  • SDUC (Secure Digital Ultra Capacity)

As for the file system format, the Jetson Orin Nano Module supports:

  • FAT32
  • exFAT
  • NTFS
  • EXT4 (Linux native file system)

Updated Schematics for Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit Carrier Board Reference Design Files

Regarding the updated schematics, I couldn’t find any information on updated schematics in the provided context. However, I can suggest checking the official NVIDIA website or the Jetson forums for any updates or revisions to the schematics.

Additional Tips and Recommendations

When designing your custom carrier board, make sure to follow the guidelines and recommendations provided in the Jetson Orin Nano Module datasheet and the Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit Carrier Board Reference Design Files.

Additionally, consider the following:

  • Ensure that your carrier board design meets the power and thermal requirements of the Jetson Orin Nano Module.
  • Verify that your SD card interface design meets the requirements of the SD card module you choose to use.
  • Test your carrier board design thoroughly to ensure compatibility and functionality with the Jetson Orin Nano Module.

I hope this comprehensive answer helps you with your custom carrier board design for the Jetson Orin Nano Module. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask.

There is no way to use a Sdcard slot on a production Orin Nano module… you have to use other interfaces like USB or NVMe SSD.
