Software support is pretty much standard, as the devkit is supported by the NVIDIA JetPack 6.2+ SDK with libraries, tools, and documentation for rapid development of AI inference, computer vision, and robotics applications.

ASRock Industrial just announced the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit through a press release, but it may only become available later on, as technical details on the product page are still preliminary. No pricing and availability information was provided.

Thanks to TLS for the tip.
