Please contact Connect Tech Inc. if you would like to set the Termination to be Enabled before shipment. Lepton Antenna Connectors The Lepton can be equipped with one M.2 WiFi and M.2 LTE modem. Each WiFi and modem have their own antenna connections. Please consult individual datasheet for antenna connections.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION The Lepton is an NVIDIA® Jetson Orin NX/Nano based carrier that can be configured in a variety of ways to suit the users environment and feature set. The basic install and power up conditions are as follows: 1.
Users Guide www.connecttech.com FORCE RECOVERY MODE The USB Type-C port (P6) of the Lepton can be used to reprogram the Jetson Orin NX/Nano from another host platform running NVIDIA® Jetpack 1. Power down the system completely. The system power MUST be OFF, nor in suspend or sleep mode.
However, it is important to note that the NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX/Nano Modules have their own properties separate to that of the Lepton. Customer responsibility requires proper implementation of a thermal solution that maintains the Lepton temperatures below the specified temperatures (shown in the tables below) under the maximum thermal load and system conditions for their use case.
Users Guide www.connecttech.com SOFTWARE / BSP DETAILS All Connect Tech NVIDIA® Jetson based products are built upon a modified Linux for Tegra (L4T) Device Tree that is specific to each CTI product. WARNING: The hardware configurations of CTI’s products differ from that of the NVIDIA® supplied evaluation kit.
