Jetson Orin Nano and Orin NX use cases: ARM desktop compute.
Useful everywhere.
Build on CB302B at your desktop, then take the same compute platform into robots, wearables, and field systems with battery power and flexible display connections.
01
ARM desktop development
A compact desktop platform for native ARM applications and AI development.
Build native ARM applications and interactive AI experiences on CB302B. Connect a desktop display, keyboard, and storage around your choice of Jetson Orin Nano or Orin NX module.
How the platform helps
Linux for Tegra (L4T) + native LineageOS 24 / Android 17 (beta)
Supports Orin Super Mode
USB-C DisplayPort displays and compatible adapters
NVMe storage for applications and development tools
02
Mobile robotics & field compute
Battery-powered edge AI where wall power and racks don't exist.
Deploy AI-accelerated compute in mobile robots, drones, or field equipment where power efficiency and ruggedness matter more than rack space.
How the platform helps
Up to 157 TOPS with Jetson Orin NX 16GB in Super Mode (NVIDIA's figure)
Milwaukee M12 field-serviceable power
Dual MIPI CSI camera interfaces
ROS compatible on Linux for Tegra (L4T)
03
Wearable XR compute
Body-worn compute for AR/VR systems that outgrow integrated headsets.
Keep the headset light and put the compute on the body. Separate optics from processing so you can iterate on displays without redesigning your compute stack.
How the platform helps
DisplayPort over USB-C direct to headset
Hot-swap M12 batteries for continuous runtime
CB302B for Linux + native LineageOS 24 / Android 17 (beta)
Compact boards designed for wearable integration
04
Industrial training & teleoperation
Wearable compute for operators who need both hands free.
Equip workers with wearable compute for training, remote assistance, or teleoperation. Systems that move with the operator, remain hands-free, and survive industrial environments.
How the platform helps
Low-latency DisplayPort for AR glasses or HMDs
Hot-swap batteries for continuous shifts
Industrial-grade M12 battery ecosystem
Field-serviceable, durable design
05
Research & rapid prototyping
Skip the custom hardware phase. Go straight to software.
Prototype next-generation intelligent hardware without building custom boards from scratch. Iterate on software while the platform handles compute and power.
How the platform helps
40-pin GPIO header, same format as the Orin Nano Developer Kit
Full JetPack SDK and L4T support
NVMe storage for datasets and models
Production-grade boards, no redesign to deploy
06
Local AI
Run AI models on hardware you own, with GPU acceleration.
Run inference on the desk or in the field instead of sending every request to a cloud service. A Jetson Orin Nano or Orin NX module gives the CB302B an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA, and NVIDIA JetPack brings cuDNN and TensorRT.
How the platform helps
NVIDIA GPU with CUDA on Jetson Orin Nano or Orin NX
NVIDIA JetPack with cuDNN and TensorRT
NVMe tested with drives from 256GB to 4TB
Battery or USB-C PD power, on the desk or in the field
07
Robotics teaching labs
Jetson Orin compute a lab group can move from the desk to the robot.
Students develop at a desk, powered over 45 W USB-C PD, then put the same board on the robot. There it runs from hot-swappable genuine Milwaukee M12 packs, and an internal bridge keeps the board powered while a pack is swapped. The board does not include a Jetson module, NVMe SSD or battery, so budget for those separately. The CB302B is reservation only for now, and no payment is taken. If your lab already teaches on Raspberry Pi 5, our Jetson Orin Nano vs Raspberry Pi 5 guide covers what carries over and what changes.
How the platform helps
One carrier board for Jetson Orin Nano 4GB, Orin Nano 8GB, Orin NX 8GB or Orin NX 16GB
Linux for Tegra (L4T) with JetPack, ROS compatible
Hot-swappable genuine Milwaukee M12 packs or 45 W USB-C PD
DisplayPort over USB-C for desk sessions
08 - Start with CB302B
One board. Your choice of Orin.
