PRELIMINARY INFORMATION 
Jetson Orin NX Series and Jetson Orin Nano Series  DG-10931-001_v1.1   |  11 
Chapter 4. Developer Kit Feature 
Considerations 
The Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit carrier board design files are provided as a reference 
design. Both Jetson Orin Nano and Jetson Orin NX modules are compatible with this carrier 
board. This chapter describes details necessary for designers to know to replicate certain 
features implemented on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit carrier board if desired. 
In addition, aspects of the design that are specific to the NVIDIA developer kit usage but not 
useful or supported on a custom carrier board are also identified. 
Most of the features implemented on the reference design can be duplicated by copying the 
connections from the reference design. Some of the following features have aspects that 
would require additional information.  
  Button Power MCU (EFM8SB10F2G) 
  USB SuperSpeed Hub (Realtek RTS5420-GR) 
  Power over Ethernet (PoE) 
  TI TXB0108 level shifters 
  ID EEPROM (Not to be copied from reference design) 
4.1  Button Power MCU 
The reference design implements a button power MCU (EFM8SB10F2G). This device is 
programmed with firmware that is available on the Jetson Download Center. It is 
recommended that the connections used on the reference design are followed exactly to be 
compatible with the firmware provided to ensure correct functionality.
