DEVELOPER KIT SETUP AND HARDWARE The NVIDIA® Jetson Xavier™ NX Developer Kit enables development of full-featured, multi-modal AI applications for products based on the Jetson Xavier NX module. The Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit (P3518 *) includes a non-production specification Jetson Xavier NX module (P3668-0000) attached to a reference carrier board (P35090000).
• A small paper card with quick start and support information. Note NVIDIA recommends using the Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit only with the power supply provided. Using an incompatible power supply may damage the carrier board or the module or both. If you use another power supply in place of the one provided, you are responsible for ensuring that it is compatible with the developer kit hardware.

See Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit Carrier Board Specification for comprehensive information. Module • A slot for a microSD card, [J501]. (This slot is on the Jetson Xavier NX module, and so is not shown in the diagrams of the carrier board.) • The heatsink supports 15W module power usage at 35 °C ambient temperature.
topic “Power Management for Jetson Xavier NX and Jetson AGX Xavier Series Devices” of Jetson Linux Developer Guide. Carrier Board • [DS1] Power LED; lights when the developer kit is powered on. • [J1] Camera connector; enables use of CSI cameras. The Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit works with IMX219 camera modules, including Leopard Imaging LI-IMX219MIPI-FF-NANO camera module and Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2. • [J2] SO-DIMM connector for Jetson Xavier NX module. • [J5] Micro-USB 2.
• [J14]: 12-pin button header. Brings out system power, reset, force recovery, UART console, and other signals: • Pin 1 connects to LED cathode to indicate System Sleep/Wake (Off when system is in sleep mode). • Pin 2 connects to LED anode. • Pins 3 and 4 are respectively UART Receive and Send. • Pins 5 and 6 disable auto power-on if connected. • Pins 7 and 8 reset the system if connected when the system is running.
JETPACK NVIDIA JetPack SDK is the most comprehensive solution for building AI applications. It includes the latest OS images for Jetson products, along with libraries and APIs, samples, developer tools, and documentation. SUMMARY OF JETPACK COMPONENTS This section briefly describes each component of JetPack. For additional details about these components, see the online documentation for JetPack. OS Image JetPack includes a reference file system derived from Ubuntu.

INITIAL CONFIGURATION UPON FIRST BOOT Whether you use the SD Card image or use SDK Manager to flash your developer kit, upon first boot it will prompt you for initial configuration information like keyboard layout, username and password, etc. Headless initial configuration If no display is attached to the developer kit during first boot, the initial configuration process is “headless.” That is, you must communicate with the developer kit through a serial application on the host computer (e.g.
WORKING WITH JETSON LINUX DRIVER PACKAGE NVIDIA® Jetson™ Linux Driver Package (L4T) is the operating system component of JetPack, and provides the Linux kernel, Bootloader, Jetson Board Support Package (BSP), and sample filesystem for Jetson developer kits. L4T and the other JetPack components are included on the Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit SD Card image. Alternatively, you can use SDK Manager to install L4T and the other JetPack components to your developer kit.
