Pixhawk Baseboards Pixhawk Jetson Baseboard Overview & Specification

Features

Fully compatible with Jetson Orin NX/Nano
Combines the power of Pixhawk & Jetson in a small form factor
Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) open source specification
Jetson & Autopilot are connected via UART, CAN, and Ethernet Switch

Jetson Xaviar NX and Jetson Nano are not compatible.

This baseboard will function as a Jetson Carrier without the Autopilot Flight Controller
