Electronic components and circuits are very sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Although our
company designs anti-static protection for the main interfaces on the card when designing circuit
board products, it is difficult to achieve anti-static safety protection for all components and circuits.
Therefore, it is recommended to observe anti-static safety precautions when handling any circuit
board component (including X509). Anti-static safety protection measures include, but are not limited
to the following:
a) The smart box should be placed in an anti-static bag during transportation and storage, and then
the board should not be taken out during installation and deployment.
b) Before touching the smart box, discharge the static electricity stored in the body: wear a
discharge grounding wrist strap.
c) Operate the smart box only within the safe area of the electrostatic discharge point.
d) Avoid moving smart boxes in carpeted areas.

3 Installation and use
3.1 Drive
The X509 carrier board works on a system burned with the official original version of NVIDIA Linux
For Tegra (L4T). HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, USB2.0, serial port, GPIO, SD card, I2C bus can all be supported.
But Mini-PCIe, USB3.0, fan interface, etc. cannot work normally.
X509 carrier board interface is fully supported, and the supporting driver patch needs to be loaded.
The original NVIDIA LT4 software package (for system programming) can be downloaded from the
link below:
https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/linux-tegra
X509 driver patch support package (for system programming) download link:

Note: The account password of Ruitai Cloud Space must be obtained by contacting
technical support.
3.2 How to use Smart Box
a) Ensure that the voltage of all external systems is turned off
b) Install necessary external cables. (Such as: the display cable connected to the HDMI display, the
power input cable to power the system, the USB cable connecting the keyboard and mouse ...)
c) Connect the power cord to a power source.
d) Connect to the power supply of X509, the system will start working after power on.
3.3 Recovery MODE
Jetson Xavier NX core modules can work in normal mode and Recovery mode. In Recovery mode, you
can perform file system update, kernel update, boot loader update, BCT update and other operations.
To enter Recovery mode:
a) Turn off the system power supply.
b) Use a USB cable to connect the OTG port of the X509 and the USB port of the Jetson
development host.
c) Short-circuit the 1 and 9 pins of the Button connector to power the system. Keep the power
supply for more than 3 seconds, and then disconnect the 1 and 9 pins of the Button connector.
d) The system enters Recovery mode, and you can perform subsequent operations at this time.
