Description

The Waveshare NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Dev Kit 16GB eMMC is a compact edge AI development kit for robotics, machine vision, autonomous machines, industrial inspection, and embedded AI deployment. This shared product page covers two selectable variants: Dev Kit with SKU Waveshare-24212 and Dev Kit B with SKU Waveshare-24291.

Both variants are built around the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB module and the Waveshare JETSON-ORIN-IO-BASE carrier board. The platform delivers up to 100 TOPS of AI performance in a small embedded form factor, with 16GB LPDDR5 memory, NVIDIA Ampere GPU acceleration, and the NVIDIA JetPack SDK software stack for CUDA, TensorRT, cuDNN, computer vision, and AI inference workflows.

The kit configuration includes practical development accessories such as a cooling solution, 256GB NVMe SSD, wireless networking, USB cable, Ethernet cable, jumper, and power adapter. It is suitable for teams that need a ready-to-run Jetson Orin NX Dev Kit for prototyping, edge AI validation, and application development before custom carrier-board integration.
