Diamond Systems recommends that all its boards be stored only in individual ESD-safe packaging units. If multiple boards are stored together, they should be contained in bins with dividers placed between the boards. Do not pile boards on top of each other or cram too many boards within a small location.

To avoid such damages, assembly operations must be performed when the system is powered off. Power Supply Wired Backwards: Diamond Systems power supplies and boards are not designed to withstand a reverse power supply connection. This will destroy almost all ICs connected to the power supply. In this case, the board will likely be irreparable and must be replaced.
2. INTRODUCTION & SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS JetBox-FloydSC System Overview JetBox-FloydSC is a compact Nvidia Jetson AI computing platform ready to deploy. It includes the Jetson Nano or NX module installed on Diamond Systems FLOYDSC carrier board with a Linux OS installed and preconfigured to support all the I/Os on FloydSC.
3. FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW Power Supply Specifications The JetBox-FloydSC accepts a wide input voltage range of +7V to +24V. Maximum power consumption with either Nano or NX module installed, and all peripherals operating is 35W. The maximum allowable reflected ripple, measured at the voltage input connector is 50 mV p-p. The input power is provided via a barrel jack with 5.5mm OD / 2.5mm ID dimensions (tip positive).
4. BLOCK DIAGRAM Below are the Block Diagrams of the JetBox-FloydSC system with Nano module & the Xavier NX modules. There are two PCIe ports available on the Xavier NX module due to which either an additional Ethernet port can be supported or the Daughterboard Expansion.

Input voltage = +7V to +24V The connections for the power input connector are Tip = +V and Ring = -V.
Ethernet Ports The ethernet ports are terminated on standard RJ45 connectors that has integrated LEDs. The connectors follow standard TIA/EIA 568B pinouts as below: Data A+ Orange/White Data A- Orange Data B+ Green / White Data C+ Blue Data C- Blue / White Data B- Green...
Serial Ports The system provides two serial ports. One of the serial ports is dedicated to RS232 protocol and the second port can be configured to either RS232 or RS485 based on Jumper settings. The pinouts for different protocols are as follows: RS-232 RS-485...
Daughter Board Power Feed (J21) The connector is used to feed VIN input voltage from the Base Board to the Daughter Board when additional power is required for the Daughter Board. The pinouts for the optional Daughter Board Power feed connector are as shown below: Ground Ground...
M.2 PCIe Connector (J19) The FloydSC carrier board is equipped with an M.2 PCIe SSD M-keyed connector for 2280 0r 2242 sized modules for storage applications. An M.2 SSD is "keyed" to prevent the insertion of a card connector to an incompatible socket on the board.
Daughter Board Expansion Connector (J9) The FloydSC carrier supports additional interfaces using expansion connector for an optional daughter card. The pinouts of the Daughterboard Expansion connector are as below: Hi-Vin USB2_D_P Hi-Vin Hi-Vin USB_SS_TX_P Hi-Vin USB_SS_TX_N Hi-Vin Hi-Vin USB_SS_RX_P Hi-Vin USB_SS_RX_N Hi-Vin PCIe_RST#...
Controlled Area Network (J14) Floyd SC model (FLDSC-BB02) implements one CAN bus controller port when integrated with Jetson Xavier NX module. The pinouts of the connector are as given below: Ground CAN Data - CAN Data + Ground Connector Part No: BM04B-GHS-TBT DSC Mating cable: 6981182 The CAN cable 6981182 has the near end terminated with the mating connector GHR-04V-S &...

10. DIGITAL I/O JetBox-FloydSC system provides 8 GPIOs exposed on the front panel on screw terminals. The pinout numbering of the screw terminals is as shown below: Figure 10 JetBox-FloydSC DIO Screw Terminal Pin Numbering The pinouts of the screw terminals are as given below: +3.3V DIO 0 DIO 1...
Digital I/O Specifications The DIOs on Floyd SC are 3.3V/5V voltage selectable output compliant tolerant. The logic specifications are as follows: Device PCA9535 Number of Lines Direction Programmable bit by bit Logic Levels 3.3V/5V configurable Pull resistors 10K ohms +/-1%; Jumper-selectable pull-up/down Input Voltage Thresholds Logic 0 -0.5V min, 0.99V(3.3V VIO), 1.5V(5V VIO) max...
. Digital I/O Control Software Commands There are 4 commands to use the DIOs. They are as follows: 1. gpio_util setdir This command configures the direction of a particular DIO. For example, to set DIO 3 as an input & DIO 4 as an output, follow the command as provided below: gpio_util setdir 3 in;...
