PCIe104-Jet

The PCIe104-Jet is a PCIe104 formfactor carrier which features a 260-pin SODIMM connector for NVIDIA Jetson modules. The board is designed to be used standalone or as the root complex of a PCIe104 stack. This module allows for rapid prototyping and integration of AI on the edge into embedded applications.

The board can accept the Jetson Nano, Orin NX, Orin Nano, TX2 NX, Xavier NX, and the Orin NX MAXN_SUPER 40W devices in the SODIMM 260-pin formfactor. One NVIDIA Jetson module is included with the board depending on the ordering option.

The board has many connectivity options including the PCIe104 connectors which offer a x4 lane PCIe interface to a PCIe104 Type 1 stack down connector (x2 lanes if using TX2 NX) and 4 x1 PCIe lanes via a Type 2 stack up connector (via an assembly option). In addition it includes two 22-pin MIPI camera connectors which are Raspberry Pi compatible, gigabit ethernet via an industrial Harting iX connector, an HDMI output connector, a USB-C for UART, and optional micro-SD and SPI/I2C/GPIO headers.

The board is designed to seamlessly integrate with other PCIe104 peripheral modules. In addition, it allows users to utilize PCIe104 FPGA cards such as the PCIe104z or the PC104P in a compact and ruggedized formfactor.

 

In addition to the Nvidia reference SDKs, a Sundance DSP board support package will be provided to connect to other Sundance DSP FPGA boards and modules.
