the pricepoint is good, relative to the jetson tx1/2 (299-749 usd) and xavier (1099 usd).
some of my notes, there is a massive heatsink on this thing, probably for both the a57 cpu and maxwell gpu, this will make your case a bit larger than say the rpi.
not sure how the a57 compares to rpi’s a53, i assume both are armv8, quad-core.
the inputs seem identical to rpi 3 model b+, hdmi, ethernet, 4 usb (seems 2.0), mini usb, there’s also an additional usb looking port on top of hdmi.
storage seems the same as rpi, except that it’s built in 16G mmc flash whereas rpi you need to separately plugin a microsd card.
overall this has potential if you need to do more gpu intensive work, i like the form factor.

- thisacctforreal 8y agoIt would be good to know what bus the Ethernet talks on; with the Pi it's shared over the USB bus and it hampers the performance considerably. For this reason I went with an Odroid for a small network storage system. Edit: it has PCIe so it shouldn't be a problem.
- im_down_w_otp 8y agoThe on-board Ethernet on the TX1 is USB3 integrated, IIRC. The system having PCIe is not necessarily a sign of how it gets used or what is using it, unfortunately.
- remyM 8y agoa) a57 is the "beefy" version of a53, it's significantly faster in raw performance so this should stomp an rpi - here's ARM's performance numbers at release: https://community.arm.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-21-42/7725.2.jpg https://community.arm.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-blo... b) above the HDMI is displayport c) usb is 3.0 all around, great for NAS-style devices d) production module (for final product) uses 16gb emmc, whereas the devkit is microSD like rpi
- joshvm 8y agoThe nano has a single USB3 PHY and 3x USB 2. The dev board may have a hub though. https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/autonomous-machines/embedded-systems/jetson-nano/ https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/autonomous-machines/embedded-sy...
