Jetson Nano Developer Kit

I still don't see the value, unless I can train production size models it's not worth it. For IOT applications using CV etc, embedded AI in Arduino and Raspberry Pi is good enough.

Some applications require high speed inference, to be able to run segmentation and classification at high framerates

Not to mention doing other accelerated pre-processing & processing in addition to inference at the edge. There's certainly a use case for the Nano over Arduino, RPi, etc.

If what you are using is good enough than this might not interest you. Isn't that obvious?

I worked on optical sorting project that use cameras to scan many 1000s of small berries a second and you had around 10ms to extract each berry from video stream, calculate the center of object, decide if quality is good enough and schedule air stream to shoot in particular time to so it gets shoot out in exact time. Good luck trying to do that on Arduino type of board.

Industrial and industrial IoT is one of the use case for these kind of boards. These machines are not produced in high quantities so finding existing modules saves a tons of R&D budget.

Any camera modules you might recommend for such tasks, ideally compatible with the nano?

Blueberries?

Does this mean they are shipping? Still states "ship when ready" on pre-order status. Pretty excited to experiment. What peripherals are essential for CV, robotics, etc?

Mine shipped today, think 10/30 is the official release date

I have an NVIDIA Jetson Nano 4GB, bought it for ~$99 on Amazon[1] last December. The docs website has tutorials on how to install TensorFlow and it's pretty easy to get started. I got it to start playing with TF and it certainly did the job but I found that I was running into its limitations pretty quickly.

I (foolishly?) hoped I could run a low-param version of GPT-2, but even the smaller models were too large to run on this small GPU. So be aware if you're interested in this developer kit that it won't be able to run complex models, especially if you're getting the new 2GB version. Anything like image recognition/classification would work just fine though.

They have more powerful versions if you are willing to pay more than the $60 https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetson-agx-xavier-deve...

I think this is a more appropriate step up https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetson-xavier-nx-devki...

I just ordered from Arrow to Sweden. 600 SEK incl. VAT and shipping from US (DHL and FedEx are $0 for some reason)?!

This thing is going to crush it for my MMO, with the raspberry 4 I can render 100 characters at 60 FPS, I'm really curious what this thing will perform like!
