2. INTRODUCTION
Floyd Carrier Board Overview
Floyd is a family of carrier boards that turns the Nvidia Jetson Nano and Xavier NX GPU modules into
complete embedded computers. Two models are available with different feature sets. Both models will work
with both Jetson modules. Customization is available to fine tune the carrier board to remove unneeded
features for cost reduction or to support additional features, including PCIe lane routing and CAN transceiver
selection.
The following table summarizes the on-board I/O features and connector types.
