Waveshare’s Jetson Orin NX Development Kit is an AI edge computing platform tailored for robotics and AI-driven applications built around the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX module 8GB/16GB delivering up to 70 TOPS and 100 TOPS of AI performance, respectively. It features the JETSON-ORIN-IO-BASE base board, which provides essential interfaces like an M.2 socket, DisplayPort (DP) video output, and USB ports, making it easy for users to connect multiple sensors and peripherals for high-performance AI tasks. The kit includes a 128GB NVMe SSD for high-speed storage and comes pre-installed with the AW-CB375NF wireless network card, which supports dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. The Jetson Orin NX module operates within a configurable power range of 10W to 25W, delivering up to 5x the performance of the Jetson Xavier NX module. This development kit is suitable for large-scale AI projects requiring multiple concurrent inference pipelines and high-speed data processing. Previously, we covered [...]

We already looked at the Radxa X4 kit featuring an Intel N100 SBC with a design similar to the Raspberry Pi 5 and accessories including a Radxa Power PD 30W power adapter, an NVMe SSD, and a USB-C to USB-C cable, in the first part of the review, before installing Ubuntu 24.04 on the board.

In the second part of the review, we will test Ubuntu 24.04 in more detail with some benchmarks and power consumption measurements to show how well it works (or not) compared to a Raspberry Pi 5. We will also test the 40-pin GPIO header on the Radxa X4 controlled through a Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller.
