Where Flight Control Meets Edge AI Computing
Jetson Orin Carrier Baseboard: Genuine Holybro Hardware
This is a genuine Holybro module — “Jetson Baseboard” is silkscreened directly on the fan housing alongside the NVIDIA logo. It exists to solve one specific problem: pairing a Pixhawk Autopilot Bus flight controller with an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX or Orin Nano companion computer, without the usual tangle of separate carrier boards, adapter cables, and custom wiring that DIY companion-computer setups usually require. One clarification worth stating plainly, since it’s easy to assume otherwise: only Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano modules are supported — older Jetson Xavier NX and Jetson Nano modules are not compatible with this baseboard.
The dual Gigabit Ethernet link between the Jetson and the flight controller is the backbone that makes this pairing genuinely useful for AI-enabled autonomy — real-time object detection, visual navigation, and path planning running on the Jetson side, feeding commands back to a PX4 or ArduPilot flight stack on the Pixhawk side. Dual MIPI CSI camera inputs, M.2 expansion for NVMe storage and Wi-Fi, and a dedicated onboard BEC (rated 7-21V / 3S-4S, with an optional external UBEC for higher-voltage packs) round out a board built specifically for serious onboard-compute robotics and drone projects.

Every Interface, Clearly Labeled
USB, CAM0/CAM1, CAN1/CAN2, GPS1/GPS2, TELEM1/TELEM3, I2C, SPI, PWM outputs, and dual Ethernet ports (ETH-P0/P1) are all silkscreened directly on the board. The Jetson module, heatsink, and fan shown in some product photos illustrate the fully-populated reference build — confirm exact kit contents against the listing before ordering, since carrier boards like this are commonly sold both bare and pre-populated.
