Last year, Nvidia announced Jetson Nano, a $ 99 single-board computer with 4GB of RAM running on a quad-core ARM processor to compete with Raspberry Pi SBCs. The company followed the product with a cheaper, watered-down version dubbed Jetson Nano 2 GB, priced at $ 59.
Nvidia says its new SBC is primarily aimed at DIY enthusiasts, entry-level robotics engineers, and students interested in building robots. Nvidia also offers a software stack and plenty of resources with its Jetson Nano 2GB development kit to help users learn and build artificial intelligence applications with utmost ease.
The company also provides the Nvidia JetPack SDK and CUDA-X accelerated libraries which can run on Nvidia's LTS Linux kernel. Nvidia says, "The Jetson Nano 2GB Development Kit provides a scalable platform for learning and building AI applications as they evolve."
Nvidia Jetson Nano 2 GB specifications
As Tom's Hardware reports, the Jetson Nano 2GB comes with a quad-core 64-bit ARM A57 processor clocked at 1.43 GHz. It is paired with a 128-core Nvidia Maxwell GPU and 2 GB of DDR4 RAM. For connectivity, Nvidia Jetson Nano 2 GB has 1 USB 3.0 port, 2 USB 2.0 ports, a microSD card slot, an HDMI port, a micro USB port, a GPIO connector at 40 pins and a USB-C type port to power the SBC.
One of the main differences between Jetson Nano 2GB and its predecessor is the less RAM in addition to fewer USB 3.0 ports. Basically, Jetson Nano 2GB is similar to Jetson Nano 4GB with 2GB less RAM and a price cut of $ 40. Nvidia Jetson Nano 2GB is now available for pre-order and shipping begins by the end of October.
