Aliensense NXS is a plug-and-play GMSL 2/3 and CAN-FD sensor board for robots

Abu Dhabi-based Aliensense has introduced NXS, a compact sensor board designed to easily connect cameras and sensors to robots, without custom wiring or driver work. The board relies on a single GMSL 2/3 cable for power, video, and sensor data over up to 15 meters, extendable to 40 meters over CAN-FD (data only, reduced baudrate). The STM32G491 board is also compatible with the 2,000+ boards in MikroElektronika’s Click ecosystem thanks to a mikroBUS connector brought out through a Shuttle add-on board. This means you can use compatible sensors (via mikroBUS) in addition to, or instead of, a camera. NXS specifications: MCU – STMicro STM32G491 Cortex-M4F microcontroller with 112KB SRAM, up to 512KB flash Camera Interface – MIPI CSI-2 input, MAX96793 GMSL2/3 serializer, power-over-coax Connectivity – GMSL2/3, CAN-FD, Cyphal/serial, I2C register map Expansion – mikroBUS socket with I2C, SPI, UART, PWM, analog, INT, RST Recovery support – Signed A/B firmware, watchdog […]

NVIDIA increases the price of Jetson modules and devkits by up to 101%

A few months ago, NVIDIA phased out several Jetson modules due to high LPDDR4 prices, and now the company has decided to increase the prices on all its Jetson modules and developer kits by up to 101%. There was no specific announcement about the price, but the updated prices are available in the FAQ on the NVIDIA developer website. This was initially spotted by a reader at VideoCardz, and the table below shows the old and new prices, as well as the percentage increase. The table above is sortable. The highest price increases in percentage terms are for the Jetson Nano module (101% from $99 to $199) and the Jetson AGX Orin 32GB module (100% from $899 to $1,799). The Jetson Nano module is still the cheapest option, and the most powerful and expensive part is the Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit. The popular Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, […]

NVIDIA launches smaller, mainstream Jetson T2000 and T3000 modules for Edge AI and robotics applications

NVIDIA has just launched the Jetson T2000 and T3000 “mainstream” modules as smaller and lower cost options to the Jetson T4000/T5000 modules introduced last year for Edge AI and robotics applications. The Jetson Thor T3000 and the industrial version IGX Thor T3000, which adds functional safety, both deliver up to 865 FP4 TFLOPS of AI compute. They feature a 1536-core NVIDIA Blackwell GPU, an eight-core Neoverse Arm CPU, 32GB of LPDDR5X memory with 273GB/s bandwidth, and 25 GbE connectivity. The Jetson Thor T2000 delivers up to 400 TFLOPS of AI performance, features a 1024-core Blackwell GPU, 16GB LPDDR5 with 137GB/s bandwidth, and 10 GbE networking. Both are about half the size of the Jetson T4000/T5000 modules. Here’s a preliminary comparison between the Jetson Thor T2000, T3000, T4000, and T5000 modules. It’s preliminary because, as I write this article, NVIDIA has yet to provide the full specifications for the new T2000 and […]
