The price. $60 for that power at that form factor is really interesting.

  That doesn't help if you have to order 1000 of them.

    The dev kit is just that - a dev kit. For production you could use the jetson nano module but probably want a different carrier board. I think the Nvidia license also prevents production use of the dev kit.

      Seal up your electronics box and they'll never know. If it is not observable, it doesn't exist. The alternative carrier boards all cost far too much, many more than the Nano itself which violates the first law of carrier boards [0]. Only the OEM carrier board is priced reasonably. [0] A grocery bag should never cost more than the things that fit in it; a phone case should never cost more than its phone; a camera bag should never cost more than a camera; likewise, a carrier board should never cost more than what it carries.

        You must not be familiar with the luxury handbag market.

        Correct, I don't touch luxury bags for the same reason I don't touch Connect-Tech and Leopard Imaging products. I pay for functionality and carrier boards are functionally just wrappers with some wires.

      There's no NV license on this. Note however that the carrier board is non-production specification and its warranty applies to development use only.

    You don’t want to buy via distributor as a non-hobby person anyway. NVIDIA have a strong partner programs that hook you up with boards you need and with different pricing.
    - dheera 6y ago
      How much do those partner programs save you though? For 1000 boards, from a distributor you're paying 1000 * $99 = $99000 and you are done with the order in 2 minutes. To go through the partner program, hiring someone to have coffee and meetings and phone calls with NVIDIA for 6 months = $50000 Will going through the partner programs save you more than $50000? Or can NVIDIA provide a pushbutton NLP bot that navigates their partner program for you and deals with all the necessary phone calls such that 1000 Nanos arrive at your doorstep for less than $99000?

        It is more like email or two to get what you need. No need to employ fulltime person to handle it.
