Nvidia Jetson TK1 Development Board is Now Selling for $99 (Promo)

Sorry that I don’t have an Nvidia Jetson TK1 board to give away…, but if you were interesting in getting one the best ARM Linux boards available today, and found the $192 price tag a little too high, Make announced a ~50% discount offer to get the board for $99 on Nvidia store using MAKEJTK1 coupon.

Jetson_TK1_Board_DiscountYou’ll need to add shipping bringing the total to $107.80 in the US, but one of the downsides is that it’s currently on backorder, so you may have to be patient. The other downside is Nvidia will only ship to the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and some other small islands, so if you don’t happen to live there you are out of luck unless you use forwarder such as Shipito or MyUS.com. You’ll have to pay the forwarder and possibly custom duties, but this would probably still be cheaper than buying from a local site at full price.

i really dont understand, why nvidia dont want sell worldwide?
i want shield android tv, but sell is only in usa.
also they dont make jetson wih tegra x1, only tk1, but for 99 is very good.
they are lost market share, then lost developer support because less market, but they dont care and only want sell in usa, well hope fire the stupid ceo because their products are good and support seems good also.

I’d lke to see a comparison of jetson tk1 and odroid xu4, mainly the integer performance is what I’m interested in. Anybody seen these two in the same test?

@Peter Bauer
thanks Peter for the info. I guess the benchmark in this case favours xu4 as it was run on all 8 cores and the linked results of tk1 only on 4 cores. But it looks both boards are roughly the same in terms of processing power, so I’m happy to stick to xu4 untill there is affordable a72 dev board available.

If I did get one, I’d probably be more interested in using it as a mini server (an upgrade for my 2yo Cubietruck). So I’d probably put Debian Sid and the latest kernel on it. The Open Source KMS/DRM/Mesa (Nouveau) drivers apparently support it quite well.

My only concerns are that 32-bit ARM (ARMv7-A) is getting old, and 2GB of RAM can be limiting. But how soon is a good and affordable ARM64 board going to become available?

Woohoo, this means that they are probably cleaning out inventory so they can start selling their X1 dev boards soon!

But US$599 is a little too steep.
