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

IIM42652 IMU
Input Power
XT30 Connector
Voltage Rating: 7V-24V (2S-5S)
Separate input power circuits than the Autopilot to ensure flight safety
Holybro UBEC can be used for application above 4S
Note: The Pixhawk Jetson Baseboard has an integrated UBEC to convert 7V-24V to 5.0V for the Jetson. Using an external UBEC alongside the integrated one provides redundancy and easier replacement in case of BEC failure.
Power Requirements
Depends on Usage and Peripherals, mininum ~15-30watt
