GETTING STARTED
The NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Xavier™ Developer Kit provides a full-featured development
platform designed to get you up and running quickly. The included carrier board
exposes many standard hardware interfaces, enabling a highly flexible and extensible
platform for rapid prototyping.
NVIDIA JetPack™ SDK supports both your developer kit and host development
platform. It includes:
Sample Linux filesystem with NVIDIA drivers
AI and Computer Vision libraries and APIs
Developer tools
Documentation and sample code
Before using your developer kit, you must install JetPack. A Linux host computer is
required; for details, see How to Install JetPack
Minimum system requirements for the host computer are:
Ubuntu Linux x64 v16.04 or v18.04
A valid Internet connection
At least 23GB of disk space
, below.

Interface Details
This list highlights some of the Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit carrier board
interfaces. See the Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit Carrier Board Specification
comprehensive information:
[J1] M.2 Key M connector for high speed NVMe storage.
• To reach it, you must detach the combined module and thermal solution.
[J2] Power available for peripherals is limited to power supply capability (65W from
included power supply) minus developer kit system power usage (maximum of 30W
in default configuration).
[J4] Slot accepts either an SD Card or a UFS card.
[J6] PCIe x16 connector routes to a x8 PCIe 4.0 controller.
[J6] This connector is also where the lanes are connected for SLVS cameras.
[J501] Micro-USB connector provides access to the UART console.
• For example, you can access the serial console of the developer kit from a
terminal emulator on a computer connected to this micro-USB port.
for
[J504] HDMI 2.0.
[J505] M.2 Key E connector can be used for wireless networking cards, and includes
interfaces for PCIe (x1), USB 2.0, UART, I2S & I2C.
[J507] Hybrid connector can be used for either eSATA or USB3 Type-A. The eSATA
connector can supply 5V.

Getting Started
[J509] Camera connector supports up to six directly connected cameras via CSI-2, or
up to 16 cameras via the virtual channel feature of CSI-2.
[J512, J513] USB Type-C connectors.
• J512 can be used to flash the developer kit.
• Either connector can be used to power the developer kit from USB Type-C power
supplies listed in Jetson AGX Xavier Supported Component List
.
• Both connectors support DisplayPort, so you can run three displays at once by
using these plus the HDMI adapter.
PHYSICAL CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS
To prepare your Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit for use, connect it as follows:
Connect an external HDMI display to the carrier board’s HDMI port.
Connect a USB keyboard and mouse.
• Connect directly to the hybrid USB Type-A/eSATA port and use the included
USB Type-C to Type-A adapter to connect to the rear USB Type-C port. (Leave
the front USB Type-C port available; it will be needed to flash the developer kit.)
Connect the developer kit to your local network via Ethernet cable to the carrier
board's Ethernet port.
Connect the included AC adapter to the carrier board's power jack. Plug the AC
adapter into an appropriately rated electrical outlet.
• Use only the supplied AC adapter, as it is appropriately rated for your device.
Note that the Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit may be run upside down or resting on
the non-vented side, allowing easy access to the camera connector and headers on the
bottom of the carrier board. Any of these orientations are OK:
