Page 2: Software Instructions
Instructions for setting up the software environment and flashing the TX-SOM board are also available for download. As new L4T distributions are released from NVIDIA, CEI will provide updated software patches as well. Packages such as CUDA and OpenCV4Tegra will need to be installed by the user. These packages can be found on the NVIDIA website: https://developer.nvidia.com. - Page 3 REFERENCE GUIDE X-Carrier Board | Bottom J 11 Pin Function J16 Pin Function VDD_3V3_SYS D_FORCE_OFF_L VDD_GPIO_TXL8 VDD_1V8 J 17 Pin Function J9 Pin Function P2oj UART_RTS_3V3_L POWER_BTN_R UART1_RXD_3V3 J14 Pin Function UART1_TXD_3V3 RESET_OUT_L UART1_CTS_3V3_L X-Carrier Board | Rev B PAGE 2...

Page 7: Frequently Asked Questions
The board uses a mini USB connector. I am about to buy the X-Carrier board for the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 (I have the module already) and want to know if it comes with a pow- er supply (220v) and heat sink. - Page 8 Do you offer an educational discount? No, we are already offering the X-Carrier Board at a substantial savings. We also need 2 RS232 and I've found a couple of modules that can adapt the TTL port to RS232. Do you think that's feasible? Yes, you can convert TTL to RS232.
- Page 9 There are some nets labelled VDD_3V3_SYS. Are these a source output, if so, how much current can I draw from them? VDD_3V3_SYS is a 3.3V rail sourced from the X-Carrier Board. It can source up to 8A, but it is unknown how much margin there is on that rail.
- Page 10 Most USB cameras that are compatible with Ubuntu Linux should work with our Jetson boards. Any 4G LTE M.2 modem that is compatible with the Jetson X1 dev kit should be compatible with CEI’s X-Carrier. NVIDIA forums can help with connecting a camera or 4G LTE module.
- Page 11 TX1, is it possible to transfer this code easily to your platform? Our Jetson TX1 and X-Carrier run off the same processor as the Jetson Kit - straight from NVIDIA. You should be able to port your code over without any issues.
