Configure a jetson board
REQUIREMENTS
Follow one of our Jetson setup guides to prepare your board for running viam-server
before configuring a jetson
board.
If you have a CSI camera, follow these instructions to configure it using the viam:camera:csi
model.
CAUTION: Use 3.3V inputs and outputs
The jetson’s GPIO pins are rated for inputs and outputs at 3.3V. Signals from encoders and sensors at even 5V can cause damage to a pin. We recommend connecting hardware that can operate and send signals at 3.3V or lower. For details, see pages 1-3 of the Jetson Nano Developer Kit 40-Pin Expansion Header GPIO Usage Considerations Applications Note
Configure a jetson
board to integrate a NVIDIA Jetson Orin Module and Developer Kit, NVIDIA Jetson AGX, or NVIDIA Jetson Nano into your robot:
Navigate to the Config tab of your robot’s page in the Viam app.
Click on the Components subtab and click Create component.
Select the board
type, then select the jetson
model.
Enter a name for your board and click Create.
Edit and fill in the attributes as applicable.
{
"components": [
{
"name": "<your-jetson-board>",
"type": "board",
"model": "jetson",
"attributes": {},
"depends_on": []
}
]
}
The following attributes are available for jetson
boards:
Name | Type | Inclusion | Description |
