NVIDIA officially launched the Jetson T5000 AI module found in the Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit earlier this week, and several companies have announced or teased products based on the new 2070 TOPS system-on-module.
Connect Tech notably introduced the Gauntlet carrier board for the Jetson T5000, supporting GMSL3, GMSL2, FPD-Link III, SDI, and MIPI CSI-2 camera interfaces via a 16-lane expansion connector, DisplayPort video output, Gigabit Ethernet and 10GbE networking ports, USB ports, and various I/Os. It is designed for physical AI, robotics, autonomy, and AI at the edge.
Gauntlet (AGX301-09T) carrier board specifications:
- Supported system-on-module – NVIDIA Jetson T5000
- Storage – 2x M.2 Key M 2280 sockets (1x 4-lane PCIe Gen3, 1x 2-Lane PCIe Gen 3) for NVMe SSDs
- Video Output – DisplayPort connector
- Camera Inputs
- 16-lane MIPI expansion connector
- Interface directly to a range of GMSL3, GMSL2, FPD-Link III, SDI, and MIPI CSI-2 image sensors
- Networking
- 2x 10GBASE-T 10Gbps Ethernet RJ45 ports
- 2x 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 portsUSB
- Optional WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular connectivity via M.2 modules
- USB – 1x USB 3.2 OTG Type-C port, 1x USB 3.2 Type-C port
- Expansion
- M.2 Key-E 2230 socket for WiFi/BT (PCIe/USB 2.0)
- M.2 Key-B 3042/3052 socket for 4G LTE/5G (USB 3.0) with Nano SIM
- Expansion connectors with
- 2x I2C, 2x SPI @ 3.3V
- 2x RS232/422/485
- 2x @ 3.3V levels UART
- 4x 3.3V GPI inputs
- 6x 3.3V GPO outputs (2x PWM Capable)
- 3.3V power pin up to 1A
- Two connectors for 4x CAN 2.0b non-isolated ports
- Power Supply – +30V to +60V DC wide input voltage via 6-Pin Mini-Fit Jr. connector
- Dimensions – 155 x 126mm
- Temperature Range – -40°C to +85°C
The company takes cooling seriously with a large active cooling solution on the Jetson T5000 that’s factory-fitted, and another thick heatsink for three components (unmarked in the photos below). As I understand it, the Gauntlet ships with the module since we’re also told the JetPack 7.0 BSP is pre-configured and pre-flashed.
Specific applications are the same as for the Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit and include humanoid robotics, autonomous vehicles, industrial AMRs and manipulators, vision AI agents (e.g., multi‑camera tracking, event detection, and automated video summaries using NVIDIA Metropolis + Video Search and Summarization (VSS) Blueprint), and medical imaging with NVIDIA Holoscan.
I found photos of the bare carrier board without the Jetson T5000 SoM on the WDL Systems website, a reseller where the board is listed, but out of stock and without pricing information. However, they mention that the MSG121 power supply is required ($187). Connect Tech did not provide information about the various MIPI adapters available. A few more details may be found on the product page.
