Feature Descriptions
This section describes the key subsystems of Ziggy.
3.1.1
Processor Module
The baseboard supports Jetson TX2 / TX2i modules. Jetson TX2 is the fastest, most power-efficient embedded AI
computing device. The latest addition to the industry-leading Jetson embedded platform, this 7.5-watt
supercomputer on a module brings true AI computing at the edge. It's built around an NVIDIA Pascal™-family
GPU and loaded with 8 GB of memory and 59.7 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It features a variety of standard
hardware interfaces that make it easy to integrate it into a wide range of products and form factors.
3.1.2
Backup Battery
A 2x1 input connector is provided for connecting the external backup battery.
3.1.3
Ethernet
The board provide one 10/100/1000 Ethernet port directly from the module The MDIx signals from the module are
terminated to standard RJ45 connector with integrated magnetics.
LEDs for Link, Activity, and Speed Indication are available on RJ45 jack
3.1.4
Display
Ziggy offers HDMI2.0 a/b video output. The HDMI port is directly from the processor and is made available on a
standard HDMI header. Integrated audio support is provided along with HDMI display.
3.1.5
Camera
The board supports one MIPI CSI x2 camera interface through 30pin I-PEX connector. Supporting signals like I2C
and control signals are available through connector so that user can directly interface the camera to the board.
3.1.6
USB
2x USB3.0 (with USB2.0) ports are available from the Jetson module. These ports are available on the standard
USB3.0 connector on the Ziggy. Note that only bottom port on the dual USB3.0 connector supports USB3.0 due
to the current software mapping.
1 x USB2.0 from the module is interfaced to micro USB with OTG support
3.1.7
Audio
Audio interface is integrated with HDMI interface. No separate audio analog outputs are provided.
3.1.8
Micro SD
The board offers one micro SD connector with 4-bit data 3.3V for an additional low-cost storage option
3.1.9
Serial Ports
The board provides 2 serial ports from the module.
Two serial ports are available on 2x5 header through MAX3232 transceiver with RS232 protocol support.
Jumpers for Termination Control circuit is incorporated to enable termination resistor (120 Ohm) for RS422 and
3.1.10
DAQ
The board has a SAM microcontroller, through which 13 Digital I/O signals, 6 Analog Inputs and 2 DAC output are
made available through 2x13 header. All the IOs are 3.3V level.
