Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). When handling any circuit board assemblies including Connect Tech COM Express Carrier assemblies, it is recommended that ESD safety precautions be observed. ESD safe best practices include, but are not limited to:
Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging
until they are ready to be installed.
Using a grounded wrist strap when handling circuit
boards, at a minimum you should touch a grounded metal object to dissipate any static charge that may be present on you.
Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas, which
may include ESD floor and table mats, wrist strap stations and ESD safe lab coats.
Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted areas. Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding contact
with components.

Introduction
Astro is specifically designed to work with the NVIDIA® Jetson™ TX2/TX2i/TX1 supercomputer-on-module. The Astro Carrier provides access to features found on the Jetson™ TX2, TX2i or TX1 module in an extremely small footprint (87mm x 57mm / 3.43" x 2.24").
The Astro Carrier for Jetson™ TX2/TX2i/TX1 provides a high density board to board connector for use with either
off-the-shelf or custom breakout boards, dramatically reducing the need for cabling.
With all of the complex circuitry already on the Astro carrier, such as Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, Serial, and
Display, the design of a unique breakout board can be done with minimal effort using Connect Tech’s design
services or by the user. Connect Tech already offers the XBG201 breakout board, as well as a single board carrier solution called the Astro Carrier for Jetson™ TX2/TX2i/TX1. For more information on these two products please contact sales@connecttech.com.
The Astro Carrier provides expansion via Mini PCI Express and mSATA, in addition to a micro SD Card slot.

Jetson™ TX2, TX2i, or TX1 Compatibility
Due to pin-muxing within the Jetson™ TX2, TX2i and TX1 modules, the Astro Carrier features a DIP switch that will ensure full compatibility depending on which Jetson™ module you use. This DIP switch is only
present on board revisions G and later. Astro Carrier board revisions F and earlier do not offer full Jetson™
TX2 or TX2i compatibility.
To determine which revision of the Astro Carrier you have please see the revision label as per the image below.
For further information please see the following notice regarding Astro Carrier compatibility:
http://connecttech.com/resource-center/kdb344-cti-nvidia-jetson-carrier-board-tx2-tx1-compatibility/
Auto-Power Mode
The Astro carrier features an Auto-Power circuit. If the switch the ON position the Jetson™ TX2/TX2i/TX1 will boot when power is applied to the carrier. If the switch is in the OFF position a power button input signal is required to boot the Jetson™ TX2/TX2i/TX1 module.
Note: Due to the changes done to the PMIC circuitry of the TX2i Jetson Module the Astro Carrier will always remain ON when in AT (Automatic Power ON) and ATX (Push Power button) modes. This will cause the Astro Carrier to automatically power ON when voltage is applied to the system. The system will in addition be unable to

1) Power down the system completely. The system power MUST be OFF, not in suspend or sleep mode.
2) On the Astro Carrier change the DIP switch setting of SW1 so all switches are in the off position.
3) Connect USB2 port 0 to a host PC.
4) Power on the system.
5) With the system powered on, ensure to assert FORCE_RECOV#; while FORCE_RECOV# is low, trigger
a reset by forcing RESET_OUT# low, release the RESET_OUT# and two seconds later release FORCE_RECOV#.
After successfully updating the system software, ensure to enable USB2 port 0 host operation by changing the DIP switch settings back to default, where switch 7 (OTG_ID) is in the ON position:
Switch 7 of SW1 MUST be in the ON position in order for USB2 port 0 to work as a host port as shown above.

Typical Installation
1. Ensure all external system power supplies are off.
2. See the assembly diagram below. It is recommended to use thread locker and to torque the screws to 5.2 in-
lb.
Note: The 8.65mm M/F stand-off comes with thread locker already applied. This will increase the resistance when fastening this stand-off to the assembly. Therefore it is recommended to use a 3/16 socket driver during assembly.

Thermal Details
The Astro Carrier Board has an Operating Temperature Range of -40°C to +85°C.
However, it is important to note that the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 and TX1 Modules have its own properties separate to that of the Astro Carrier Board. The NVIDIA Jetson TX2i matches the Astro Operating Temperature Range of -40°C to +85°C.
Customer responsibility requires proper implementation of a thermal solution that maintains the TX2/TX2i/TX1 SoC and Thermal Transfer Plate (TTP) temperatures below the specified temperatures (shown in the tables below) under the maximum thermal load and system conditions for their use case.
Jetson TX2i Thermal Specifications
Jetson TX2/TX1 Thermal Specifications
