The AI system supports cameras, 12 PoE ports, and many connections for use in robots, drones, machines, and other edge devices.
ASRock Industrial has launched the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit, a platform built for edge AI, robotics, and industrial systems. Based on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Series, it provides up to 275 TOPS of AI performance. It supports up to four 4-lane MIPI or GMSLII cameras and includes 12 PoE ports for camera-based vision tasks. The kit has two PCIe Gen4 x8 slots and M.2 Key M/B/E slots for storage and for adding 5G, 4G LTE, or Wi-Fi.
The system works in temperatures from -25°C to 50°C, and includes I/O options for automation and TPM 2.0 for secure operation. It can be used in robotics, AMRs, drones, remote systems, retail setups, and city infrastructure, giving developers and manufacturers tools to build AI-based systems.
At the center is the Jetson AGX Orin System on Module (SOM), offered in Industrial, 64GB, and 32GB versions. All use the Jetson AGX Orin platform with Ampere GPU architecture and Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU, giving up to 275 TOPS of AI compute, which is 8× more than Jetson AGX Xavier. The industrial version includes 64GB LPDDR5 with ECC, and the other two offer different memory levels. All versions come with 64GB eMMC 5.1 storage and support -25°C to 50°C operation.
For I/O, the kit includes two Ethernet ports—one with a Marvell Gigabit PHY, the other with an Intel I226IT PCIe controller. There are two RS-232/422/485 ports on DB9 and onboard headers. It also includes four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, HDMI 2.0 output, and audio in/out through a panel header, a microphone input, and 2W stereo output.
Camera support is through a 120-pin connector for MIPI or a FARKA connector for GMSLII. The two PCIe Gen4 x8 slots support added cards or AI modules. There’s also an M.2 Key M slot for NVMe SSDs, a microSD slot, an M.2 Key B slot for 5G/4G LTE with Nano SIM, and an M.2 Key E slot for Wi-Fi or PoE.
The kit supports up to 12 PoE ports through M.2 and PCIe cards. Each port supports IEEE 802.3af and can power cameras. It accepts 12–48V DC input and includes protection for surges, over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, and reverse polarity.
