ESD Warning
Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). When handling any
circuit board assemblies including Connect Tech
COM Express carrier assemblies, it is recommended
that ESD safety precautions be observed. ESD safe
best practices include, but are not limited to:
•Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic
packaging until they are ready to be installed.
•Using a grounded wrist strap when handling
circuit boards, at a minimum you should touch a
grounded metal object to dissipate any static
charge that may be present on you.
•Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas,
which may include ESD floor and table mats,
wrist strap stations and ESD safe lab coats.
•Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted
areas.
•Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding
contact with components.

INTRODUCTION
Connect Tech’s Rogue-X2 (AGX108) is a full featured NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Xavier™module carrier board.
This carrier board for AGX Xavier™is specifically designed for commercially deployable platforms, and
has an extremely small footprint of 119.5mm x 105mm.
The Rogue-X2 provides access to an impressive list of latest generation interfaces on the AGX Xavier™
while adding additional interfaces of 3x USB 3.1, 2x GbE, 2x HDMI and a locking Mini-Fit Jr. input power
connector.
Rugged camera add-on expansion boards will also be available for use with the Rogue-X2 to interface
directly with the AGX Xavier™high density MIPI CSI interfaces.
Rogue-X2 builds upon the success of the Rogue by providing access to a PCIe x8 Connector.

** Note this port only supports USB devices, it
does not include a display interface **
Notes
This interface doubles as both a standard DFP (Downward facing port) USB 3.1 port to
support USB 3.1 devices and the Jetson AGX Xavier™Programming (flashing) interface
port. The port is capable of up to USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds in normal operation. The USB 2.0
portion of the interface doubles as the OTG programming port when the FORCE RECOVERY
function is applied at startup. The power to the port is disabled so an external PC
connection is possible in order to reprogram the module using Jetpack.
Maximum power available on this output is 1.5A @5V.

** Note this port only supports USB

interface **
Notes
These interfaces are both standard DFP (Downward facing port) USB 3.1 Gen 2 capable
ports used to support USB peripheral devices. Display devices or devices requiring 20V
power modes are NOT supported.
These ports are capable up to USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10G) speeds in normal operation.
Note that only any 2 interfaces can be used at 10Gbps simultaneously.
The power available from either of these ports is 3A @5V. However ONLY ONE port can be
loaded at up to 3A at a time. Both will support simultaneous 1.5A loads. Overloading both
of these ports will result in system power overload and the Rogue will shut down
prematurely.
