USB Ports
USB-C port (
4
)
This USB 3.2 Type-C connector supports Host, Device and USB Recovery mode.
Attention
This USB-C port can NOT be used to output display signal. HDMI or DisplayPort over USB-C are NOT supported.
-
Host mode
You can use this port as a downstream-facing port (DFP), just like the 4 Type-A ports.
You can connect supported USB devices and use Jetson as the host. -
Device mode
You can connect your Jetson to a PC (via USB-C to Type-A cable or USB-C to USB-C cable) and have the Jetson act as a USB device.
USB Device Mode of Jetson expose three logical USB device:
-
USB Mass Storage Device (to let you mount
L4T-READMEdrive) - USB Serial (to provide a serial terminal access)
-
USB Ethernet (RNDIS) device to form a local area network in between your PC and Jetson (your Jetson being
192.168.55.1)
-
USB Mass Storage Device (to let you mount
-
USB Recovery mode
When you put your Jetson into Force Recovery mode, this operates in USB Recovery mode.
You can connect your Jetson to a PC via a USB cable, and use the PC to flash Jetson.
USB 3.2 Type-A ports (
6
)
You can use these Type-A ports to connect USB devices. These are host mode only.
There are two, dual stacked Type-A connectors and each stack VBUS is limited to 3A output current.
DisplayPort Output
To connect a display to the developer kit, use the DisplayPort output port (
8
). This is the only way to get the display out on the developer kit, the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit does NOT support HDMI or DisplayPort over USB-C.
To connect to a monitor or TV that only accepts HDMI, you can use an adaptor/cable that converts DisplayPort to HDMI.
DisplayPort output port supports both
passive
and active DisplayPort to HDMI adapters.

MIPI CSI Camera Connectors (
9
)
Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit carrier board includes two 22-position flex connectors to connect CSI camera modules.
To connect a CSI camera module with 15-pin connector like Raspberry Pi Camera Module v2, a 15-pin to 22-pin conversion cable is required.
The connectors supports the following.
- CAM0: CSI 1 x2 lane
- CAM1: CSI 1 x2 lane or 1 x4 lane
Those connectors are bottom contact, 0.5mm pitch, 22 position.
