Frequently asked questions from prospective customers
Can Jetson Orin Nano developer kit connect to HDMI-Display?
The Display connector on the Jetson Orin Nano developer kit is only compatible with the DP port and cannot be directly connected. A DP to HDMI conversion connector is required for HDMI output.
With the Jetson Orin Nano developer kit, the encoding process seems to be executed by software on the CPU, so do you have any information on the encoding process performance?
Please refer to the NVIDIA website for information on encoding performance.
Also, if you want to use the hardware encoder function, please consider using the previous generation Jetson-Nano development kit.
(However, please note that JetPack for the previous generation Jetson Nano has finished updating and supports up to JetPack 4.6.1.)
Is there a JetPack version to use with the Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit?
Please use JetPack 5.1.1 or later.
How large a microSD card should I prepare?
Please prepare a microSD card of about 64GB.
