 パフォーマンスを向上させたいけど、また0から製品開発をするには工数がかかる。

・I want a module with performance between Jetson Nano and Jetson Xavier NX, but the only option is Jetson TX2, which has a different module shape.

NVIDIA Jetson TX2 NX solves

・ By switching to Jetson TX2 NX module, while minimizing development man-hours*,

It will be possible to improve the performance that was lacking in Jetson Nano.

*If the carrier board is designed with a module power consumption of 10W, it will be necessary to change the design to support 15W.

 

・ TX2 NX, which has the same performance as Jetson TX2 and the same shape as Jetson Nano, has appeared, increasing the number of options.

 

As a result, for users who develop products using Jetson, it is now possible to easily expand the lineup of their own products while shortening the development period. We hope that it will be a foothold for customers to be able to bring their AI/IoT products to market more quickly according to customer needs, and to lead to the revitalization of the market as a whole.

 

From here, we will introduce information that will be helpful for those who are specifically interested in Jetson TX2 NX.
