The board uses the same software stack as the official Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit, ensuring full compatibility with NVIDIA JetPack SDK, CUDA, TensorRT, and the entire Jetson software ecosystem. Quick Start Steps: Install your Jetson module (Nano, Xavier NX, or TX2 NX) onto the 260-pin SODIMM connector Connect the included 12V/5A power adapter (or use PoE via the J8 header) Connect a display via HDMI or DisplayPort Attach USB keyboard/mouse to the USB 3.0 ports Power on and follow the NVIDIA Jetson initial setup procedure Recovery Mode: To enter USB recovery mode, short pins 9-10 on the J15 button header (Force Recovery) while powering on. This enables flashing the module via the USB Type-C port. Compatibility Notes Important: When using the Jetson Nano module, please note the following limitations: M.2 Key E slot does NOT function (no WiFi/Bluetooth support) CAN bus interface is NOT available USB 3.0 speed limited to 5Gbps (vs 10Gbps on Xavier NX) For full feature compatibility, we recommend using the Jetson Xavier NX module or TX2 NX module.

The J202 features a 40-pin GPIO expansion header that is pin-compatible with the Raspberry Pi GPIO header. This means many Raspberry Pi HATs and accessories can be used directly with the J202, significantly expanding the ecosystem of available expansion options. What storage options are available with the J202? The J202 includes an M.2 Key M slot (PCIe x4) that supports high-speed NVMe SSDs for expanded storage. We recommend the Seeed Studio 128GB NVMe SSD for a tested, compatible storage solution. Additionally, the Jetson modules themselves include onboard eMMC storage (16GB on most variants). Is the J202 compatible with the official NVIDIA JetPack SDK? Yes, the J202 is fully compatible with NVIDIA's JetPack SDK and uses the same board support package (BSP) as the official Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit. This ensures seamless compatibility with CUDA, TensorRT, cuDNN, and all NVIDIA development tools. What is the operating temperature range of the J202? The J202 carrier board is rated for operation from 0°C to 60°C. For reliable operation in industrial environments, ensure adequate airflow or use the included 4-pin PWM fan connector for active cooling. Does the J202 include a power adapter? Yes, this SKU (Seeed-102991695) includes a 12V/5A power adapter. The power connector is a 5.5mm/2.1mm barrel jack. Note that an AC power cord (Cloverleaf type) may need to be purchased separately based on your regional requirements.
