SECTION 3 Overview
3.1 Introduction
The X221D is intended to be a great development platform with
These systems let you dive into AI with ease. They allow you to explore AI applications like people
detection, face masking and more. The full suite of NVIDIA SDKs may be installed. At your choice
these systems may be equipped with the entire family of NVIDIA compute modules with the AGX
Xavier form factor.
The X221D features an industrial strength design and is commercially deployable in any volume.

4.3 Manufacturing options
4.3.1 Enclosure
Auvidea can provide custom enclosures for its carrier boards. These enclosures provide a passively
cooled solution. This solution is designed for the AGX models. With a max power draw of 35W
(normal mode) the enclosure temperature reaches 55C° while in 24°C room temperature which is a
safe temperature for Human contact.
The MaxN mode (up to 90W) is not recommended as the enclosure temperature increases above
acceptable levels for direct human contact.
It is also possible to apply your branding on the front and back Plate of the Enclosure. Auvidea has
inhouse capabilities of laser and milling engraving.
4.3.2 Branding and QR codes
Besides the branding options for the enclosure, it is also possible to customize the label field on the
carrier board.
Auvidea uses the label field to engrave a small QR code and serial number to track production
processes.
It is possible to add your custom engravings like logos, text or QR codes to this field.
4.3.3 Custom configurations
The standard carrier board configuration is designed to suit most use cases.
Pleas see the Pinout description for customization examples like voltage configurations (3.3V or
1.8V).
We take pride in tailoring our products to your special need and are capable to adjust it in small
production series. Please contact Auvidea with your special requests to work out a solution.

Per special request Auvidea can manufacture the board with CAM1_PWDN and CAM2_PWDN with
pullup to 1.8V.
CSI default voltage is 3.3V but it can be changed to 5V. To perform this modification, you need to
move the bead from the 3.3V location (marked with the number 3 as shown in the picture) to the 5V
location (marked with the number 5 as shown in the picture).
The same process applies to I2C where you must move two beads to the desired location of 1.8
(1.8V) or 3.3 (3.3V).
