1. Introduction
AN310 is a small form factor carrier board. Support for NVIDIA® Jetson™ TX2 and Jetson™ TX1.
You can quickly emulate the functionality of your desired end product for software
development and hardware verification.
To build a functional prototype of your target system you will need:
•Nvidia TX1/TX2/TX2i module
(Aetina’s P/N: NSO-MD-TX1/NSO-MD-TX2/NSO-MD-TX2i)
•Nano-ITX carrier board (Aetina’s P/N: AN310)
•Power adaptor 12-19 DC/5A
Note: Partial support TX2i function.
1.1 Features
•Specifically designed for high performance and low-power envelope AI computing
Additional driver to support Embedded peripheral modules for multiple I/O expansion
capability
•On-board 1x HDMI, 2x CAN BUS and 1x Mini Card to support rich multimedia.
•Extended temperature range -40°C to 85°C
•Suitable for general robotics, UAV, industrial inspection, medical imaging and deep
learning.
•1x 60pin connector to support Aetina MIPI CSI-II adapter
1.2 Board
•8-layer printed circuit board(PCB)
•Physical dimensions: 87mm x 70mm

6. Software & BSP.
Before you install OS and patch to Jetson TX2 you must prepare items shown in below.
1. A X86 based platform with Ubuntu OS which will be treat as a Host
2. Use micro USB cable to connect DUT(Jetson TX2) and Host.
3. Let DUT to entry recovery mode.
Now let’s get started
Host side
1. Host should download Jetpack 3.3 from Nvidia website
https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/downloads
2. Install JetPack-L4T-3.3-linux-x64_b39.run
sudo chmod +x JetPack-L4T-3.3-linux-x64_b39.run
./ JetPack-L4T-3.3-linux-x64_b39.run
3. Select and install these 3 items. Others depend on you need or not. If you don’t need, just
left as no action.
System will auto download “File System” “OS ” and “Drivers”.

After file download, don’t flash the image. Close the tool directly.
4. Copy the patch file (R28_2_1_TX2_N310_1.tar.gz to the same folder with
“JetPack-L4T-3.3-linux-x64_b39.run” and extract the file
sudo tar -zxvf R28_2_1_TX2_N310_1.tar.gz
5. Go into the folder with the same name of the patch file then type command shown in below
and execute it.
./setup.sh
If success, you can see “DONE” message.
6. Open a terminal under ~/64_TX2/Linux_for_Tegra and type command shown in below then
execute it.
sudo ./flash.sh jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1
7. Wait for 15 mins and finish the flash process.
7. Recovery system
The TX1/TX2 embedded system contains a recovery system and could be triggered by
GPIO.
(1) For TX1, shut down the system first and connect the 3V3 pin(J2 Pin5) & GPIO_4 (GPIO
184)
For TX2, shut down the system first and connect the 3V3 pin(J2 Pin5) & GPIO_4(GPIO481)
(2) Boot the device,
It will need about 3 minutes for recovering the system.
After finishing, it will shut down the device.
Remove the connected pins and power on the device.
