Jetson FAQ
What is Jetson?
NVIDIA? Jetson is the world's leading platform for AI at the edge. It combines high-performance, low-power compute modules with the NVIDIA AI software stack. It’s the ideal platform for advanced robotics and other autonomous products.
For more information, see the NVIDIA Jetson Developer Site. For product datasheets and other technical collateral, see the Jetson Download Center.
What is JetPack?
NVIDIA JetPack SDK provides the foundation for building AI applications on Jetson. It bundles all the Jetson platform software, including TensorRT, cuDNN, CUDA Toolkit, VPI, GStreamer, and OpenCV, all built on top of Jetson Linux (L4T) with LTS Linux kernel.
See this link for information about JetPack and all the Jetson software.
What version of JetPack should I use?
JetPack 6 supports Jetson Orin with our latest compute stack and Linux LTS. It also supports Jetson Platform Services.
JetPack 5 is in sustaining mode. It supports Jetson Orin and Jetson Xavier with production-ready feature releases.
JetPack 4 is in sustaining mode and supports Jetson Xavier, Jetson TX2, and Jetson Nano.
JetPack 4 was first released in 2018, and its Linux LTS kernel 4.9 reached EOL at the start of 2023. NVIDIA has continued to support JetPack 4 with security patches and critical bug fixes, but the final sustaining release marking EOL for JetPack 4 is scheduled for Q1 of 2024. NVIDIA encourages developers to leverage the expertise of Jetson Ecosystem partners including TimeSys and Codethink for further Kernel maintenance. For seamless support continuity on Jetson Xavier modules, we suggest developers transition to JetPack 5.
Does Jetson support running generative AI models? How can I get started?
The NVIDIA Jetson platform is uniquely capable of running any kind of generative AI model locally, including LLMs, vision transformers, VLMs and Stable Diffusion. Jetson AGX Orin delivers leading performance in the MLPerf Benchmark for generative AI at the embedded edge.
To explore more, please visit the NVIDIA Jetson AI Lab.
Where can I buy Jetson products?
Jetson products are available from distributors and e-tailers, as well as from NVIDIA. See this link for a full listing.
What is the difference between Jetson Developer Kits and Jetson modules?
Each Jetson developer kit includes a non-production specification Jetson module attached to a reference carrier board. Together with JetPack SDK, it is used to develop and test software for your use case. Jetson developer kits are not intended for production use.
Jetson modules are suitable for deployment in a production environment throughout their operating lifetime. Each Jetson module ships with no software pre-installed; you attach it to a carrier board designed or procured for your end product, and flash it with the software image you’ve developed.
What is the difference between the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit with 32GB vs. 64GB?
The Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit has been upgraded with 64GB of memory. The performance is the same as the original 32GB Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit, except for the memory. The price of the Jetson AGX Orin developer kit with 64GB of memory is $1999.
In addition, the production Jetson AGX Orin 64GB and Jetson AGX Orin 32GB modules have different memory, AI compute and performances. Please refer to the technical specifications table here for details.
Can Jetson developer kits be used as production systems or as part of a product?
No. Jetson developer kits are not for production use. The developer kit is used to develop and test software in a pre-production environment.
Jetson modules are designed for deployment in a production environment throughout their operating lifetime.
| Jetson developer kit | Jetson module | |
|---|---|---|
| Operating Lifetime | None specified | 5 or 10 year operating life in a production environment |
| Warranty | 1 year warranty for development use only | 3 year warranty ? |
| Availability | No guarantee of availability. Order quantities may be limited. No notice before EOL. |
Available for at least 5 years (up to 10). Built to forecast. Last Time Buy notice before EOL. |
| BOM | Several components may be non-production quality. Components may change without notification. | Production rated components. Any changes are notified via PCN following JEDEC JESD-046 standard. |
| Validation | Basic functional validation in a constrained environment. | Full functionality and reliability validation across environmental specifications. Tests are listed in the datasheet. |
? Unless otherwise specified.
How do I port my application from a developer kit to a production module and production carrier board?
See the Jetson Module Adaptation and Bring-Up topic in the latest Jetson Linux Developer Guide for a description of how to port software from a Jetson developer kit to your production hardware.
Are the Jetson AGX Xavier and Jetson Xavier NX modules still available?
Jetson AGX Xavier and Jetson Xavier NX modules will continue to be available per our Jetson Product Lifecycle page—up to January 2028 for Jetson AGX Xavier and Jetson Xavier NX, and July 2031 for Jetson AGX Xavier Industrial. NVIDIA Jetson Xavier developer kits have reached EOL, but development systems are available from Jetson Partners.
What production systems are available from Jetson ecosystem partners?
Jetson ecosystem partners provide complete hardware systems built around Jetson modules for a variety of use cases. They also offer many production-ready carrier boards to help you get to market quickly.
See the complete list of these Jetson partner products.
What development systems are available from Jetson ecosystem partners?
Jetson ecosystem partners offer Jetson Development Systems which include a partner carrier board with a production Jetson module. The partner carrier boards are production quality and support a broad range of I/Os including MIPI CSI-2, GMSL, Ethernet, USB, HDMI, PCIe, and more.
Are all Jetson modules compatible?
All Jetson modules are software compatible, and new capabilities such as DLA engine acceleration may become available when moving software developed on one Jetson module to another. If the move implies a change in JetPack version, some porting may be required.
From a hardware perspective, Jetson modules have many signals in common, but the connector pin-out and electromechanical footprints do vary. See the Jetson module Data Sheets and Product Design Guides for details. In summary:

? Jetson AGX Orin and Jetson AGX Xavier pin compatibility is dependent on your UPHY usage
?? Jetson Orin NX & Jetson Orin Nano series modules are not pin-compatible with Jetson Xavier NX
series modules, but you can design a carrier board for the I/Os they have in common, such that both modules are supported.
When designing a carrier board to support more than one of the modules listed above as pin compatible, there may be some interface differences to note. See the Interface Comparison and Migration documents for details.
For a general overview of Jetson modules and their different combinations of interfaces, mechanical size, and performance, see the Jetson Hardware page.
