1. Introduction
ACE-N510 is the smallest form factor carrier board in Aetina production line. 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 module (Aetina’s P/N: NSO-MD-TX1/NSO-MD-TX2)
•Nano-ITX carrier board (Aetina’s P/N: ACE-N510)
•Power adaptor 12V DC/5A
1.1 Features
•Smallest design for Nvidia TX2/TX1
•Specifically designed for high performance and low-power envelope AI computing
•Extended temperature range -20°C to 70°C
•Suitable for general robotics, Drone, UAV, industrial inspection, medical imaging and
deep learning
1.2 Board
•6-layer printed circuit board(PCB)
•Phsical dimensions: 87mm x 50 mm
•Board TDP: 15W
•High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) support
