I’d like to see switch firmware hacked onto this.
“They removed half the cores” R.I.P. hopes and dreams

Could be software limited?
Be aware, the Jetson Nano is not only underclocked but is also missing half the CUDA cores from the Switch and Shield TV. 128 cores vs 256 cores.
That’s fine for a 1st Gen dev board. If this SBC is a runaway success like the RPi. Next gen Jetson Nano would be more powerful. Nvidia is just testing the waters if this could be a profitable market for developers and hobbyists.
yeah he mentions that in the video....
@@iMadrid11 I like it, i have also the Khadas VIM2 for testing.
Its time for something new, the Vim comes from 2017, and I wait 2 years for the end buildroot whith Duall Os, the prommis whas 1 year.
So I`m done whith the VIM2 whith fan and heatsink etc etc.
The VIM2 is not ready, and there is a new one (Vim) now.
I buy this board for testing i think.
Yeah seems less attractive when you have managed to get Linux on a shield, which already has a nice case and everything.
So far I was limited to older versions of jetpack though. Shield is also more expensive
@@mattizzle81 Or even better, getting Linux on the Switch :P
I have not tested this but there are discussions and instructions on getting L4T working on the Shield. Your the man Eta!
turn the nvidia shield tv into a desktop mini pc... interesting idea
U can turn it into a switch for that matter.
@ntodek I'm dying to see someone to get W10 on in.
@@evanaxm8878 It will probably run better than Windows 10 on Raspberry. You can see the video of Win10 on Raspberry on this channel.
@@topouzidd That is legit.
NVidia supports Ubuntu Linux on the Shields.
I would like to see Recalbox on Jetson Nano.
"downclocked CPU, half the CUDA cores" lost me there.
some games like Pokemon might use less power as the Switch actually delivers. Zelda runs on the WiiU, which has 1/3 of the GFLOPS ;)
They downgraded the cuda cores so people cant have a 100% Switch emulator
We could fully run switch with this... If it had the extra cores
lol
Not even an emulator...it would be like a switch development kit
Yeah it’s true
i mean ....kinda? just having the hardware does not a switch make your gonna need firmware screens controlls then the time to modify all the firmware to work with the differing hardware you provide by the time your done you probably could have just bought a switch
"Performance will improve over time"
How about an update of this video? Would appreciate it! :D
10 Watts? Jesus, this is amazing. I want this for a home-server!!!!
I think if you don't need the graphics (because server) an Intel NUC should be better for this task.
Don't forget you might not be able to run everything you want on it :p
It's an ARM-based CPU so make sure the stuff you want to run on it supports that :)
But will it run Crysis?
But is Crysis an AI?
The Nano is described as a cut down Tegra but not only is the clock speed cut down but there are two fewer cores. Importantly the two missing cores are the Nvidia high performance Denver cores. So CPU wise the Nano is plain ARM and struggles against the Shield.
But its still faster than raspberry pi.
X1 is still beast when optimized. That said it's dated, and I really want to see what the X2 or even Xavier can do.
Tegra Xavier is only for auto driving cars, and costs $1200 ( 16GB of ram, 2 Tegra Xavier and a massive cooler)
Digital Foundry literally said the Xavier SOC would be in the ballpark of PS4 level performance. It also has 134gbs of memorybandwith and 16gbs of LPPDDR4x ram. In comparison the Switch only has 25gbs of memorybandwith with only 4gbs of LPPDDR4 ram.
@@rj7250a There are 3 different variants of the Xavier chipset 10W/15W/30W. Even though it's only used for cars it could easily be customized to work for a Switch successor if Nvidia wanted to. At the end of the day it's an SOC that is the direct successor of the Tegra X2.
very interesting board! Now it would be lovely if they port the shield os for this too. And also wishful thinking the Switch's os. lol.
get a jumper from an old ide drive, though they should have supplied one TBO
The same jumpers are available on older and even some newer motherboards for clearing the cmos
@@nathanhamman418 You can get bags of hundreds of them for pennies. I have a draw full of them
So... NVIDIA's version of the Raspberry Pi. Cool
If the Switch is any indication, this thing would be a bangin emulation machine, even at half the cores!
We need a comparison of Jetson Nano and Odroid N2, sir
the question is: DOES IT SUPPORT WAYLAND.
The other question is: will Wayland support what you want to run on it?
For that price there should be an included USB-C and a power supply.
Very interesting single board
Subbed got my interest trying to get into a new hobby and quite for small emulation and Kodi caught my attention
A few years ago ASUS came out with the Tinker Board, and like a lot of others I had high hopes that we were going to finally see a polished ARM based SBC with solid PC motherboard levels of quality and support . . . and like a lot of others I was hugely disappointed. Not that ASUS didn't try, but I just don't think the support was there from Rockchip.
Now, with Nvidia's entry into the Linux based SBC board market , hope once again springs eternal that we will finally see a nice arm based Linux SBC with the solid "everything just works" levels of desktop performance we have come to expect from Linux. The game changer this time around is that we are dealing with Nvidia, a company with literally MAN YEARS of experience writing Linux software drivers for Nvidia's Maxwell and Pascal GPUs, which Nvidia can now leverage by porting them to ARM.
This gives Nvidia a HUGE advantage over other SOC based SBC manufactures that have to start with flaky OpenGLES Android drivers and try to hack them to deal with the current insane cluster-fork of X11, Wayland, Vulkan, SDL, etc that is needed to fully support a modern graphical Linux desktop - but Nvidia does this every day for X86 Linux - and does it well - and is now bringing that expertise to the ARM SBC market.
I like the robot idea would love to see you do a video on it
As a software engineer I don't really understand why this would make it any better for the mentioned "AI" (image recognition and autonomous robot) than any other mid to highend device. Sure tegra is nice, but even the raspberry pi can do stuff like this (possibly a bit slower with the image recognition, but it's possible)
lol "hi" from my nintendo switch with tegra x1 :)
Thanks for all your videos! I love them pretty much!
Currently, I've trained a model in Google COLAB, but the trained model generated is in PYTORCH. So, I'd like to know what I have to do to run this model on the Jetson NANO. Thank you in advance.
Why didn't they use type C??? It literally does everything those ports do but with ONE PORT
What I am interested in is the graphics performance compared to say Intel Atom cpus and similar. Sadly tiny computers suffer in the GPU department, at least for every day use with a GUI like windows, ubuntu etc.
Please do more video about the nano. It’s a killer arm board. Thx
Building a robot car that drives around on it's own is actually a childhood dream of mine.
Anyone remember those programible Lego car kits, (it's called mindstorm).
There bricks that you atatch motors and sensors to and you can program a set path it was aswme when I was 7 years old.
Must install BB gun shooter
I don't want to shit all over this product but it just doesn't compare to the brand new Panda Latte Alpha, which uses a legit Intel m3.
Currently in Germany this thing costs 163€
The OS is Linux4Tegra, maybe with a Ubuntu base.
this is even faster than my daily laptop :D i guess i need new one :D
With all those unused 5 1/4 drive bays no longer used I could see this used as a system in a system setup
Y not have 1 type c I don't think it's as expensive as 2 power ports.
Especially at 10 watts
You seem to have left out the serial connection headers, an important feature.
Yes please build the jetbot if possible
Please make a video on making robots with the Jetson Nano Developer kit.
I'm interested in seeing emulation on it too.
To bad they did not put the same CPU in it as the NVIDIA shield. That has been out for years now and still the best. Do they have any CPU like that better now? If so I guess the cost would be to much. Grate video looking foreword to your other ones on this. I would buy this if it had the same or better CPU in is as the NVIDIA shield.
And using another distro like Mint? Is less resource heavy than ubuntu
Load should really not be an issue with Ubuntus Gnome. The lighter versions of Mint (Mate, XFCE) really are for much older computers with less memory than this thing.
Imagine Windows 10 ARM64 on here, with DX12 and Vulkan support...
Looks like they used faulty Switch SoCs to cash out. Old SoC´s to be sure. Should cost half the price, would be decent.
It looks like a perfect solution for dedicated music player with some DSP abilities, e.g. Roon core. Shame Roon doesn't support this architecture for it's core :(
Hello, ETA-PRIME, can you say how to launch the deep stream demo at 5:30 minutes ? (The command line, you use).
Thank’s a lot.
The nano uses L4T Ubuntu. Which is already very mature do to other Jetson products so I wouldn't expect a whole lot more of improvement.
im no electrical engineer but I thinks its called i squared c not i2c
Plz do a neo geo emulation test of 90s & 2000s games!
0:44 looks like some foreign object in the Display Port?
@Vlothx what are you talking about?
Odroid N2 or Jetson Nano?
Have u tried overclocking this card?
Gday
Does this board support PROPER Gigabit without going thou USB bus aka 69-110MB/sec
I believe the X1 has the ethernet connected with USB.
I can see homebrew switch firmware being made for this
No power supply?
UA-cam playback is choppy because Chrome/Chromium doesn't support hardware accelerated video on Linux so all the video decode is being done in software with its FfmpegVideoDecoder or VpxVideoDecoder components. See chrome://gpu and chrome://media-internals and bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137247
5watt 4amp supply would be 20watts. Overkill?
you meant 5 volt? No, that woulnt be overkill because a Raspberry pi B3+ on full peformance gets around 20 Watts.
Not really. If the device uses 10W, that barely leaves 10W for USB devices. A single USB hard drive could easily use 10w of power.
If you used only a 10W power supply, either the USB drive wouldn't work or it would pull too much power causing the system to crash.
@@MarterElectronics the raspberry pi doesn't use 20 watts. It only uses around 5-10W even when overclocking. The pi does have issues with voltage stability, as voltage drops with higher current draw. I think the pi needs 5.2V instead of 5 volts just to offset this drop, but it doesn't use a lot of power overall. It's mostly due to inefficiencies in the micro usb port. Cable length also matters and cables will waste more power with higher currents.
The pi doesn't have a separate power like this does but I do believe you can power it by sending power directly to the correct pins. That would bypass some of the issues with the micro USB port.
How about Geekbench 5 and BOINC with some projects running? How powerful is the GPU calculating with BOINC?
It's not a single board if it has two boards 🤔
One thing, does this supports full OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan? That will be really nice for emulation. Almost every SBC only supports OpenGL ES profiles
Iam looking for Jetson nano CPP programs for line departure warning,self driving with camera assistance,road sign recognition, safe distance estimation and warnings,ADAS-advanced driver assistance applications that are in code AUTOSAR architecture compatible,help me if some one having similar devolapment
Can you show it running Dreamcast and N64 emulation? Keen to see how it compares to the Odroid N2. Thanks,
I'd be interested in this too, but I would imagine comparing an OS specialized for emulating to an emulator running on top of a desktop OS would be comparing apples to oranges.
must run smooth
@@RabbitConfirmed k I'll buy it based on "must run smooth"
It's like Forrest Gump saying 'Jetson Nano'.
Question is can they make small mobile Soc like GPU with additional eemc RAM slots so you don't need to buy a new graphic card you simply install additional memory .
I wonder how this would do as a streaming encoder machine.
At the risk of sounding dumb, the video encode/decode. Which one of them determines the video output from the device? Probably sound very dumb but I am tired
Can I use this as a tv box ?
it functions just like any other single-board computer so yes
@@TheRealSamPreece oh that's, I guess I will check it out someday
Hello there, please come back with a video trying google stadia free demo on this board. I read that it should run fine on ubuntu through chrome.
Hmm decoding of the 4K video should be fast because of the maxwell GPU, probably GPU support is not yet enabled.
I know that it doesn't work, but what if we can run steam games on it? I mean, if ubuntu is running an emulation layer on top of it like KVM, it's something doable. The power is there, so we could maybe build a... diy gpd win? Sort of? I mean it does have USB-B, so hook up a powerbank, hook up a screen, design and 3d print a case, cram a controller into it and you should have something kinda decent. Btw it's a cute little lovely board and if it can do some pc gaming i'm gonna be way more impressed! I have tbh 0 interest in A
Can this run Blender 2.8?
I am downloading the image on my 10 year old Windows 7 laptop right now. Amazon got this board to me in one day. Very excited. I use the TinkerBoard and Raspberry P 3B + everyday. Thanks for video. I want to watch 4K video on my machine and use it as a 100 dollar desk top.
OP: Is the Fastest small computing device atm or there are better alternatives?
Is tehre Intel x86 based ones so we can just install windows 10 and use it for emulation?
Would you recommend getting NVidia or intel or something else for emulation box/device?
I assume that Intel devices should be faster in CPU but much weaker in GPU, the dream is for AMD to release such device with one of their embalmed Ryzen chips with Vega gpu, that should be amazing for emulation and maybe otehr tasks like video encoding.
Is it possible to use hevc encoder h265 or x265 like handbrake on this system?
Do you not use a separate device to capture the video? It seems like you are capturing on the jetson
RB4 is out for half price, skip Nvidias pricing problem...
6:01 yes... and more emulation... can never get enough emulation...
Keep em coming, I have the board on order, due towards the end of May so can't wait to set it up.
Same here, can't wait.
Any interest in checking out newer Jetsons? The CTI Orbitty & Quasar look impressive if you could find a Tegra X2 for cheap.
This is the newest one, they plan on launching an updated version later this year
I LIKE HOW YOU GET TO THE POINT,AND YOUR PACE OF NARRATION. +SUB
Can it run wallpaper engine??
Can the micro usb port also be used as a camera input? I have a camera which has a micro usb cable
I am very VERY interested in this little machine and would love to boot it from network. I visited the question and found the nvidia site where the question was asked and the moderator responded with "Not sure if NFS boot would work. Need to check. " This would be the dream replacement for my aging laptop sitting on a swing arm table over my easy chair. (Just need a small high-res display... a 15" 1080p would be nice.... any suggestions?)
So this is basically your own porn dedicated power saving desktop. Nice.
SO-DIMM form factor? Imagine putting this in a FREEPLAY CM3 type kit. I'm sure the PCB isn't compatible, but it's cheap enough to get custom boards these days.
Can you test windows 10 on it
LinusTechTips
In the specifications on Nvidia's website, they say the board has 1x USB 3.0 and 3x USB 2.0. If they used blue USB connectors for USB 2.0, that would be lame. :|
NO, sorry but you must have misread something. It says 4 x USB3 plus 1xUSB2 micro. The single micro USB2 on the right side is used for power up to 2 Amps (like the raspberry PI) but there is a jumper to switch power over to the higher current 4 Amp barrel connector on the left (Like Odroid XU4).
try to add external graphics card using m.2 slot adaptor it will be great thing if it work!
and keep the awesome job.
Decoding 18 720 video streams at once for me thinking.
Why not have a more powerful network switch that can share the load for computers all over the network.
Linus from Linus teck tips had a similar idea for the future of portable computing.
In 20 years most people won't need the bleeding edge of portinle computing in our pockets, we could settel for something only from 15 years in the future.
Because that would be good enough for 90% of people.
But y do we want to upgrade the entire phone when it is already good enough, so y not have a computer puck in your pocket.
But a phone/ tablet in our hands.
Then when you get home the compute puck might only have a mobile CPU from 5 years ago but that's still miles ahead of a 9900k and a 2080 so it's good enough for web browsing.
But then you plug it into your desk and giving it more power and a heat sink, so it can overclock from a 5 watt processor to a 300 watt processor.
Where do you keep all this stuff?! I ..I'm... Just..all the sbc you've reviewed alone should take up a room
I have an original Gigabyte Brix. It grinds to a complete halt playing 1080p video. I might replace it with one of these.
You could always use an old IDE hard drive jumper pin or a CMOS jumper. Amongst other things
Missed opportunity not having dual ethernet ports.
You can always add a USB3 to Gig Ethernet dongle - this board has 4xUSB3 :)
These single board pc’s are neat and cool but in reality they are only being used in commercial applications even if that. Lots of these companies build this stuff and it never gets implemented into anything at all. For example .. 10 years ago or sosony developed a razor thin material the size of a sheet of paper that would display a true HD image. Sony also said they knew it would never have a consumer or commercial application anytime soon or if ever. I guess its great to stay informed of the new things that are out there but at the same time.... it does get monotonous
Great video. How VLC works on it? I’m in Europe where I can buy only the board? I see amazon is selling some packages for more then 300 euros...
the 2015 model shield TV has linux support, i had one since 2016 with debian on it. cant remember how i got this, but it was not that hard.
if you want to run videos smooth i qould suggest getting the right player. vlc nightly is available for ubuntu and it runs better for 4k than the standard build. not sure what player you used in the video here but i suggest doing the nightly version just to really test performance. also some of the lag can be due to other processes in the background so it would seem illogical to test that until you have a minimal running environment.
Oh no the AI can track people. Bye bye humanity 😦
Would be interesting to see if it can game and maybe even vr
