NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Series Controller Board

The NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Series Controller Board is a high-performance edge AI development platform designed for advanced robotics, deep learning, and artificial intelligence applications. Perfect for South African makers, educators, and professional developers, this compact board delivers exceptional computing power in a form factor identical to the Jetson Nano. Whether you are building autonomous mobile robots or smart vision systems, this controller provides the processing muscle and robust interfaces needed for demanding projects.

Supercharged AI performance

Available in 8GB and 16GB configurations, the Jetson Orin NX Super delivers up to 117 TOPS and 157 TOPS of AI processing power respectively. This represents a massive performance leap, offering up to 7.5 times the computing capabilities of the previous-generation Xavier NX. The kit includes a premium CNC metal enclosure and a CNC metal base to ensure optimal thermal management during intensive workloads.

Industrial-grade carrier board design

The system features a customised, mass-produced Orin WT carrier board designed by Wheeltec, maintaining complete interface compatibility with the official layout. It is engineered for reliability with built-in DC power input reverse-polarity protection, USB overcurrent protection, and support for a wide 9-19V input voltage range. Its compact physical footprint matches the Jetson Nano, making it incredibly convenient for deploying into tight spaces on mobile robot chassis.

Desktop-class processing specifications

Under the hood, the 8GB variant features a 6-core ARM Cortex-A78AE CPU, while the 16GB variant steps up to an 8-core CPU, both running at up to 2 GHz. Graphics and AI workloads are accelerated by a 1024-core NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU equipped with 32 Tensor Cores running at 1173 MHz. High-speed 128-bit LPDDR5 memory provides a bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s to prevent processing bottlenecks.

Rich peripheral and video interfaces

The board is equipped with four USB 3.0 ports, a Type-C port, a Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet port, and an M.2 PCIe slot alongside a pre-installed 256GB SSD. For multimedia and sensing, it includes MIPI CSI video input, a DisplayPort 1.2 output, and hardware H.265 video encoding and decoding capabilities. A 40-pin GPIO header is also provided for direct hardware expansion and sensor integration.
