About this product

JETSON-ORIN-IO-BASE is Waveshare’s standalone carrier board for separately purchased NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano or Orin NX compute modules. The standard DisplayPort board is explicitly included in Waveshare’s LeRobot robotic-arm kits. It provides USB, Ethernet, camera, GPIO and M.2 expansion; processor, GPU, memory and AI performance belong to the chosen NVIDIA module and are not bare-board ratings. The manufacturer page gives inconsistent CSI lane descriptions, retained as separate qualified claims. The cover depicts the standard carrier without a compute module or fan.
