2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Jackson Product Overview
Jackson is an Orin Nano / Orin NX module-based board with rich graphics and camera input capability. This base
board converts the module into a complete embedded system by providing interface circuitry, I/O connectors for
all the major features of the module, camera interface, power supply and additional I/O capabilities.
This Base Board redefines possibility; a combination of performance, power efficiency, integrated deep learning
capabilities and rich I/O remove the barriers to a new generation of low-cost products.
The base board also contains M.2 x4 lane PCIe SSD as storage options along with interfaces like HDMI, USB3.2,
CAN, Serial ports, Utility connector etc.
