NVIDIA® JETSON TX1

DEVELOPER KIT

QUICK START GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

The NVIDIA® Jetson TX1 Developer Kit is a full-featured
development platform for visual computing. It is ideal for
applications requiring high computational performance
in a low power envelope. The Jetson TX1 Developer kit is
designed to get you up and running quickly by shipping
pre-flashed with a Linux environment. It includes support
for many common APIs and is supported by the complete
NVIDIA development tool chain. The board exposes many
standard hardware interfaces, enabling a highly flexible
and extensible platform.

Go to http://developer.nvidia.com/embedded-computing
for access to software updates and the developer SDK
supporting the OS image and host development platform
that you want to use. The SDK includes an OS image that
you will load onto your device, developer tools, supporting
documentation, and code samples to help you get started.

GETTING STARTED

Individual development efforts will vary and may
result in modifications to the system configuration. It
is recommended that you begin with the basic system
configuration (as shipped) to ensure proper system
operation prior to any further development.

!

CAUTION: The NVIDIA® Jetson TX1 Developer
Kit contains ESD-sensitive parts. Always use
appropriate anti-static and grounding techniques
when working with the system. Failure to do so
can result in ESD discharge to sensitive pins, and
irreparably damage your Jetson TX1 Developer
Kit. NVIDIA will not replace units that have been
damaged due to ESD discharge. Always disconnect
any power source prior to adding additional
modules or connecting peripheral devices to the
developer board. It is important that all modules
are properly seated in their connectors to ensure
proper operation and to avoid damaging the module
or the carrier board.

Installing the antennas

Install the antennas into the threaded connectors on the
bracket shown [3]. Both included antennas are identical and
can be installed on either threaded connector. Be careful
not to cross thread the antenna or the antenna may not be
seated all the way and will lead to poor reception.

Expansion Header Voltage Selection

Voltage level for the Expansion Header [15] is set by the
Expansion Header Voltage Selection jumper [13]. For default
voltage 3.3V, the jumper is installed on pins 1-2. For alternate
voltage 1.8V, the jumper is installed on pins 2-3.
