Warning
1. Make sure to use DJI designated cables and connect external devices to
the ports in strict accordance with specifications of these ports.
2. DO NOT disassemble the Manifold 2 and its accessories.
3. Ensure that the Manifold 2 and its components are free from
contamination such as water, oil, soil, and sand.
4. Mount the Manifold 2 to an appropriate position for heat dissipation.
5. DO NOT touch or let your hands or body come in contact with any
components as they may be hot during operation.
6. Avoid vibrations and impacts when using the Manifold 2 or during storage
or transportation.
7. The USB 3.0 devices connected to the Manifold 2 may cause interference
to the GNSS or Wi-Fi signals. Take electromagnetic shielding measures to
reduce the interference if necessary.
Introduction
The Manifold 2 is DJI's second-generation microcomputer for Onboard SDK
developers. There are two versions: Manifold 2-G (128G), Manifold 2-C
(256G). The Manifold 2-G is equipped with an NVIDIA Jetson TX2 module for
faster complex graphics processing and Wi-Fi for network connectivity. The
Manifold 2-C has an Intel Core i7-8550U processor with excellent processing
power and responsiveness. With a variety of ports to connect different
external devices, the Manifold 2 is compatible with many of DJI flight
platforms, flight control systems and other devices*, with greater flexibility
and extensibility, to provide a rich and convenient development ways for
developers.

Overview
Manifold 2
The illustrators below take the Manifold 2-G as an example. Unless otherwise
specified, the descriptions apply to Manifold 2 series.
1. Ethernet Port (RJ-45)
Connect a network cable to the port to have access to the Internet.
2. USB 3.0 Ports
Connects to an external device supporting USB3.0.
3. HDMI Output Port
Connects to a display device.
4. Antenna Ports (for the Manifold 2-G only)
Mount the Wi-Fi antennas to the ports to have access to the Internet via WiFi. Make sure that the two antennas are vertical to each other or towards to
the signal source. DO NOT block the antennas with metal objects.

The ports are standard XT30 ports with an input voltage of 13.2 - 27 V and
independent from each other. When connecting power source to both ports,
the Manifold 2 will automatically choose the power source with a higher
voltage.
6. Power Indicator
The indicator is on when powered on, and off when powered off.
7. OTG Port
The OTG port on the Manifold 2-G allows it to be used as both a host and a
device. When used as a host, connect the OTG cable to the Manifold 2-G and
then connect a USB device to the other end of the OTG cable. When used as
a device, connect the Manifold 2-G to a host using a Micro USB cable for
system image backup and recovery.
The OTG port on the Manifold 2-C is same as a USB 3.0 port to allow the
Manifold 2-C to be used as a host. Connect the OTG cable to the Manifold 2-C
and then connect a USB device to the other end of the OTG cable.
8. UART Ports
The operating level is 3.3 V TTL. For the Manifold 2-C, there is only one UART
port available, and the other port is marked with N/A indicating not available.
These ports cannot supply power.

The UART0 port is for the debug terminal with a baud rate of
115200. DO NOT connect it to the DJI SDK API Port or any other
non-stream input port.
Access UART0 from ttyS0 in the kernel of the operating system,
while access UART1 (for the Manifold 2-G only) from ttTHS2 in the
kernel of the operating system.
The UART ports of the Manifold 2-G support a baud rate up to 3M.
The baud rate of 921600 is a rated value. The actual baud rate is
910000. As a result, the UART ports may be unavailable to
communicate with other devices such as OSDK devices that have a
baud rate with bias when using a baud rate of 921600.
The UART port of the Manifold 2-C supports a baud rate up to
115200.

9. CAN Ports (for the Manifold 2-G only)
Only the Manifold 2-G has CAN ports. The ports on the Manifold 2-C are
marked with N/A indicating not available. The operating level of the CAN
ports are 3.3 V TTL. The max transmission speed is 2 M. These ports cannot
supply power.
