1. Introduction
AX720 carrier supports NVIDIA® Jetson™ AGX Xavier series modules and 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 Jetson AGX Xavier 32GB/64GB module
•Carrier board
•Power adaptor
1.1 Features
Here are the AX720 carrier board features below.
•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 2x HDMI, 1x M.2 M Key, 1x M.2 E Key and 3x RJ45 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 120pin board to board connector to support MIPI CSI-II adapter.
