Thank you for doing you videos. They are very helpful. I also appreciate you laying out the parts on the grid and having the fire extinguisher nearby so it is easy to see the size. Your technical details are very clear showing you do ample home work before for doing the video.
Lots of more technical things I could say (after coffee) but for the moment, may I just say that your intro music is awesome and the presence of a fire extinguisher adds a certain air of excitement.
Thanks for the kind words. The music is me jamming with some friends on a Saturday morning. I'm hoping Mr. Fire Extinguisher doesn't read this, he'll ask for a raise and top billing. Thanks for watching!
I'm going to try to get to all of them, but I'm curious if you had used up GPIO pins on the Jetson and that is why you added the arduino? Or was it just the simplest way to add the accelerometers, etc.? (edit: this was for one of your robot builds, not this unveil. sorry for cross post. Will move it to the appropriate thread when I get a minute.)
Most of the project shown on the channel are simple things I learned on projects that other people might find useful. For example, wp.me/p7ZgI9-ut shows how to add a separate PWM driver over I2C to control servos using the GPIO pins. On its own, it's not much but has a couple of lessons. A SoC like a Jetson Tegra can send out PWM, but the operating system used is not really designed to do real time tasks like that. A design alternative is to use a microcontroller like an Arduino or PWM driver as a low level subsystem to handling sending out hardware clocks and such to peripherals, and the use the Jetson for heavy lifting and coordination. The point isn't the actual project itself, it's the information about "Here's how you talk to I2C on the GPIO pins". The channel is along the lines of "How do I do this thing I already know how to do elsewhere?" In the above example, it's assumed you already know about I2C, you just want to know how to access it from the Jetson. It's easy to imagine a complex robot with a large number of sensors and actuators that need to be coordinated centrally, such as a humanoid robot or car. In that sense, that's an ideal case for the Jetson where you would expect to coordinate subsystems.
So is the primary issue latency or ease of programming? I was an early buyer of the Structure Sensor (which is how, I believe, I came to your videos) and I've since been getting into 3D printing. I know just a small bit more than nothing about arduino, and my over all programming ability probably peaked when I was 12 or 13... but it doesn't stop me from being fascinated by the amount of compute power than can be had with a few watts. Thanks for the videos, they are pretty cool and I like the chill style you have- tunes, clear deliberate speech, minimal hand-held camera :)
Hello, I have a funny problem: when I am trying to power board up it remains a brick, except three LED are going on but cooling fan jerks and not turning. Any idea how to start this baby? Thanks in advance. It is very important for me!
I'm not sure where you are in the process. Did you flash the machine? You should be asking for help in the official NVIDIA Jetson TX2 forum where NVIDIA engineers can help you through the process: forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/agx-autonomous-machines/jetson-embedded-systems/jetson-tx2/81 Good luck!
The answer was wrong, it's not a shark, it's a plushy that looks like a shark, one is made out of wool the other is an animal. If a machine can't distinguish the different it's rubbish.
Hello Jim. Its Your Jetson has turn on led diode near PCI slot: ALERT PCIE/SATA POWERUP, when You use it? Your channel was inspired me to start some adventures with JETSON and robotics:)
When the Jetson is powered up, the LED that you describe lights up red. This is normal. Great to hear that you're getting started, and I hope you share your robot with us. Thanks for watching!
I think it's risky to power up your board without the antennas because they act like resistors and SoM/SoC may give magic smoke without them... Sorry if I am wrong but they are extremely necessary
Great video. For those considering buying a Jetson, I would encourage you to look at other processors, most can do the job just as good with less headache.
Did you have to perform any builds to get the object detect demo up and running? After getting JetPack installed, I thought all that was done. But trying to run the demo, an error that it can't find OpenCV LIB pops up. The only thing I can find online suggests it's an issue with linking and caffe. Did it just work for you after the JetPack install?
Hi Edward, This was run from a previous version of L4T (the machine is from the preview sample batch). As I recall, I spent a bit of time preparing the demo, but don't specifically remember about the OpenCV issue. I don't see any mention of OpenCV using ldd, so something must be amiss. Please ask the question in the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 Developers Forum: devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/188/jetson-tx2/ to get help from people who actually know something. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the demo! 55msec fwd pass translates to ~18fps. What was the batch size to get to 50fps in the camera demo? Besides, it would be nice to measure and show power consumption in the next demo :) And one last question - were the camera image scaled down before running classification? (e.g. 227x227)
For the standard Caffe AlexNet test: github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/master/tools (caffe.cpp) github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/master/models/bvlc_alexnet The AlexNet paper: papers.nips.cc/paper/4824-imagenet-classification-with-deep-convolutional-neural-networks.pdf I think we can assume by now they scaled down the image to 227x227 instead of the papers famous erroneous 224x224 You'll have to look through the demo code for the car demo. Thanks for watching!
I have very stupid questions Why we need to plug in the module in the black square station? what's the point of this? can I use the module alone for computer vision project?
Not sure I understand the question. How were you planning to plug in the camera? The module has a 400 pin connector. A carrier board provides I/O access to the module. The developer board provides access to most of the functions on the module (USB, SATA, PCIe, M2.Key E, and so on). Other vendors (such as Connecttech) provide carrier boards with different footprints and I/O access. Thanks for watching!
The NVIDIA Jetson TX2 is a Tegra X2 Development Board. The Tegra TX2 is a 6 core, ARM based CPU with a 256 CUDA core GPU. The development board is used mostly for designing and testing embedded systems specializing in machine learning and vision processing. Thanks for watching!
I have found products from wdlsystems.com but their prices of carrier + TX2 are far more than the dev kit you show, in fact the naked TX2 module is costs more than the dev kit. So, I'm looking for an alternative. Thank you.
I've tried a couple of different carrier boards. The TX2 module is available through the usual distributors, depends on where you are in the world. See: developer.nvidia.com/embedded/buy/jetson-tx2
hi man, when i put the power cable the red LED don't turn on and when i press power button it turned on for few seconds and the turn off the jetson is new i just got it and i didn't even flash it because it doesn't work any solution pls thank you
Thanks for the video! I was confused of the module vs the dev board. Sounds like quite a cool board for next generation robots. This might be a stupid question, but how do you actually connect things like a camera and a data connection to the module itself? I guess that requires extra and specialized electronics?
The module requires a carrier board to interface with. There are a wide variety of carrier boards available besides the dev kit carrier board. Some boards have very small footprints with interfaces. See the Jetson TX2 wiki: elinux.org/Jetson_TX2#Ecosystem_Products Thanks for watching!
Ah thanks, awesome. That makes total sense, it's like the shields or capes for other embedded systems. I thought this was more like a PC running linux like the raspberry. I won't be able to afford one any time soon though.
Thanks for this video! I was not aware of this product/world-of-possibilities. Now I am wondering, two years later though, could this be used to assist rendering (on a home-work render farm) or this is exclusively aimed gpu programming? Thanks!
It's usual use case is to run inferencing on pre-trained models. If you are rendering, it's much more cost effective to use a NVIDIA graphics card. Thanks for watching!
NVIDIA makes a series of products named 'NVIDIA Drive PX' which are intended for the purpose you describe. Typically it takes a couple of Tegra modules to handle all of the I/O, the Drive PX have two Tegra; the Jetson has one. The processors are very similar, the I/O architecture is different. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing. I saw that you have a video on flashing the TX1 with JetPack 2.0 but I was wondering if you were going to show flashing the TX2 with 3.0? Do you know if you can flash the TX2 with JetPack 3.0 using a virtual box running Ubuntu 14 or 16? I heard that some people had trouble using a virtual box in the past. Thanks!
The user interface for JetPack 3.0 is the same as 2.0, just with an added entry for the TX2. I was thinking about doing the 3.0 demo, but not committed yet. I don't think there's enough TX2s out there yet to talk to the virtual box issue, it seems like a pretty hit or miss thing. The virtual box issue seems to be around the way that it handles USB, which is probably machine specific. Thanks for watching!
Hi, I am glad I stumbled upon your video. Here is the question, you've said 4K@60 but there are so many different codecs and color spaces. For example some Pascal cards (like GTX 1050, 1050Ti and 1080Ti) support VP9 10bit Profile 2 (UA-cam 4K HDR that is and even 8K) and for example GTX 1060, 1070 and 1080 do not support VP9 10 bit Profile 2. I was wondering about the Jetson TX2 and can't find any info on that.
I don't know the answer to your question. You can ask in the official NVIDIA Jetson TX2 forum where a large group of developers and NVIDIA engineers are available to share information: devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/188/jetson-tx2/ Thanks for watching!
If I'm using the USB 3.0 port: amzn.to/2ozzT7h On the microUSB (USB 2.0): amzn.to/2o6vdFC connected to the provide microsb -> USB 2.0 female cable. Thanks for watching!
Hey, I have a question, I have servo motor connected to the ConnectTech Orbitty Carrier Board and Jetson Tx2 is also connected to this carrier board. I want to run a python script to trigger the servo motor. Can you please suggest anything?
Yes. Please ask this question on the official NVIDIA Jetson forum where a large number of developers and NVIDIA engineers share their experience. The forum is here: devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/188/jetson-tx2/ Thanks for watching!
Hello, I´m thinking of getting one, you mentioned the TX2 ¨module¨ or whatever Nvidia call it is mounted on the big board, I wonder if I can take it out should the need be, for example to mount it on a little vehicle or drone.
You can remove the module and place it on a smaller carrier board. 3rd party vendors make carrier boards with a footprint not much larger than the TX2 module. Thanks for watching!
I am looking into buying this product but can I use this computer alone or do i need a host? I have a raspberry pi but i dont think thats gonna cut it.
This is a pretty hardcore development board. You should have a PC or Laptop which is used to flash the Jetson dev board. The PC should be running Ubuntu. Thanks for watching!
Hi, please could you suggest a low cost way to experiment with SLAM? I am a beginner and would like to just get the algorithms working and understand the code, not necessarily with associated autonomous movement (yet). Is there a good cheap sensor I could get hold of for the job and literally move it around myself? I have tried the virtual turtlebot tutorials in ROS and would like to give it a try!
Any suggestion for handling Jetson TX2 Board to prevent it from ESD ? Is it mandatory to use Antistatic Mat and Wrist Strap ? My cubicle area is carpeted area? Need help to understand ESD.
A good place to get an answer to this question is the official NVIDIA Jetson TX2 forum: devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/188/jetson-tx2/ Thanks for watching!
JetsonHacks Actually you personally using this board in these videos. So, Are considering ESD and all? Or you are simply using it? Anyway i have asked in the forum. Need your comment.
Hello, May I know which monitor you are using while booting TX2 Developer kit. I tried my monitor, it is kind of old school, but was not working." No input signal" was the error. Do I need to get new monitor? If yes the which one? Thank you!!!!
The Jetson needs an HDMI monitor. If you are using an DVI monitor with an HDMI converter, it probably will not work. Any modern monitor should work, the one in the video is an inexpensive ASUS. Thanks for watching!
My question is probably very stupid but what is the benefit of this develop mentioened board vs. PC with nvidia graphical card 1080 except the cost?thank you!
This is a development board for the Jetson TX2 module, which is an embedded processor solution. It is mostly used for developing products which need low power consumption, high computing performance. For a comparison, the TX2 uses max 15W , where as the 1080 can draw > 300W. This makes the TX2 useful for battery powered applications and devices like gaming consoles, robots, medical imaging devices and so on. The 1080 is a much more general purpose GPU which has more than 10x the performance of the TX2 but has a much larger energy footprint. Thanks for watching!
Hi, what a neat video, I want to know that, after using Host PC which installed Ubantu to flash it, can the TX2 work solely with it own embedded linux system like a RaspberryPi? Does it have a Wi-Fi model?
Thank you for the kind words. The answer to both of your questions is yes. Once flashed, the Jetson TX2 runs an Ubuntu desktop, you can attach a keyboard, mouse and display. The TX2 has built in WiFi and Bluetooth. Thanks for watching!
Hi bro, I just received my tx2 this week, but I just met an issue about Ubuntu WiFi which is so weak to find any signal, neither on tx2 or my Ubuntu installed laptop, so I wonder whether I can use a virtual machine to run Ubuntu on my macOS and share the internet connection, the fact is that WiFi connection under macOS is 100% good.
Is there a way to boot nvidia jetson TX2 development kit to a laptop with ubuntu 16.04??? if yes can you suggest if any change in the display configuration is required? Or if any change is required at all.
Not sure what you are asking. A laptop is not a display. The Jetson is a normal Linux machine, you can SSH into it or you can do screen sharing. If you need help, please ask this question on the official NVIDIA Jetson TX2 forum. Thanks for watching!
This is the development kit which includes a mini-ITX sized carrier board for peripheral development. The actual size of the compute module itself is 50x87mm. Typically the developers use the development kit for prototyping their solution and then choose/design a carrier board to suit their needs. Some carrier boards match the footprint of the computer module, others carry a large amount of support electronics depending on the intended use. Thanks for watching!
I don't understand the question. Please refer to the NVIDIA site: developer.nvidia.com/embedded/buy/jetson-tx2-devkit It states that there is a full size PCI-E x4 slot, a M.2 Key E slot, and a SATA Data and Power.
You can use a power bank, I currently don't have any specific recommendation. You should ask on the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 forum for specific suggestions: devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/188/jetson-tx2/. Thanks for watching!
The TX2 has 5 different modes that trade off between performance and energy consumption (battery life). Measured in FP16. I believe that the 1.5 TFLOPS you quote comes from a mode called Max-P which puts 4 of the CPU cores on line (the TX2 has six all together) @ 2.0GHz, and clocks the GPU @ around 1.12GHz. The Max-N mode clocks all six CPUs at 2.0GHz and the GPU @ 1.33GHz, which is ~2 TFLOPS. Energy conservation mode is Max-Q, which clocks 4 CPUs @ 1.2GHz and the GPU @ 0.85GHz. That gives ~1TFLOP, equivalent to a Jetson TX1. The system designer/programmer can pick and choose the different clock frequencies based on their application. You might imagine a case where the device is in a dock where it can draw power from the wall and provide maximum performance, and another case where the device is running only off a battery with a screen and some controllers attached. Thats why there are different power modes. Thanks for watching!
JetsonHacks In maximum performance is to say to 2 TFLOPS its battery would last equal or less than the one of tegra x1? Would it be possible to implement this in an upcoming review of the nintendo switch?
Both the Jetson TX1 and TX2 use about the same amount of power at maximum clock rates. The TX2 has about twice the performance. So at 2 TFLOPS the battery lasts the same amount of time as a TX1 at 1 TFLOP. If you run the TX2 @ ~1 TFLOP, then you get twice the battery life as a TX1 running @ ~1 TFLOP. You'll have to ask some who knows more about the Switch than I do about a possible implementation. I don't know enough about the Switch devkit to be of much help.
It's a fully functioning Ubuntu desktop. Honestly, it's more what a designer would use to build a gaming console rather than a gaming console itself. Thanks for watching!
oh I got the NVIDIA Jetson X2 but i was wondering which software can i use to get started on it. I saw that you're using caffe but I'm just so confused
Hi Karla, In order to work with the Jetson TX2, you will need a PC that runs Ubuntu 14.04 to get started. This will allow you to flash the Jetson with the latest software and libraries using a program called JetPack, available through the NVIDIA embedded developer website. You can ask general purpose questions on the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 forum: devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/188/jetson-tx2/ where a large group of Jetson developers reside. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for doing you videos. They are very helpful. I also appreciate you laying out the parts on the grid and having the fire extinguisher nearby so it is easy to see the size. Your technical details are very clear showing you do ample home work before for doing the video.

Ease of programming. There's a bunch of book keeping and timing required for the PWM pulses.
Thank you for doing you videos. They are very helpful. I also appreciate aware about this NVIDIA Jetson TX2 Development Kit.
You are welcome, thank you for the kind words. Thanks for watching!
Hey I loved the animation you made for rotating the Jetson 90 degrees!
Thank you for the kind words. No expense spared for the loyal JetsonHacks viewers... Thanks for watching!
JetsonHacks I actually just ran into your channel yesterday! It is amazing! I can't wait to start hacking! :) also the tx2 review was phenomenal!
I think that any time the shark is in the video, it is great! Certainly if you ask him, he'll tell you the same.
Yea I thought it was CGI created because the animation was too smooth lol
As always, Thanks Jim! While my TX1 is awesome-- more speed and options are more opportunities for fun.
Great demo. Time to dive in!
Wish you would do a side by side comparison of spec between Tx1 and Tx2 and also when does Tx2 go on the market?
Hello, I have a funny problem: when I am trying to power board up it remains a brick, except three LED are going on but cooling fan jerks and not turning. Any idea how to start this baby? Thanks in advance. It is very important for me!

I agree. "Plushy shark - mostly harmless" would have been better.
That's why it's called "Artificial" intelligence :)
I'm more upset by the fact that it wasn't a hammerhead
In my switch video about the tx2 in the switch I posted your videos link to show this exists.

On the microUSB (USB 2.0): amzn.to/2o6vdFC connected to the provide microsb -> USB 2.0 female cable. Thanks for watching!
Hey, I have a question, I have servo motor connected to the ConnectTech Orbitty Carrier Board and Jetson Tx2 is also connected to this carrier board. I want to run a python script to trigger the servo motor. Can you please suggest anything?
Yes. Please ask this question on the official NVIDIA Jetson forum where a large number of developers and NVIDIA engineers share their experience. The forum is here: devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/188/jetson-tx2/
Thanks for watching!
Nice demo :) Have you tried to port Arch Linux on TX2?
Thank you for the kind words. I haven't tried Arch, most of the TX2 implementation is very geared towards Ubuntu. Thanks for watching!
Hello, I´m thinking of getting one, you mentioned the TX2 ¨module¨ or whatever Nvidia call it is mounted on the big board, I wonder if I can take it out should the need be, for example to mount it on a little vehicle or drone.
You can remove the module and place it on a smaller carrier board. 3rd party vendors make carrier boards with a footprint not much larger than the TX2 module. Thanks for watching!
Im watching this video on my TX2 lol
You may be starting the Apocalypse. Thanks for watching!
I am looking into buying this product but can I use this computer alone or do i need a host? I have a raspberry pi but i dont think thats gonna cut it.
This is a pretty hardcore development board. You should have a PC or Laptop which is used to flash the Jetson dev board. The PC should be running Ubuntu. Thanks for watching!
Hi, please could you suggest a low cost way to experiment with SLAM? I am a beginner and would like to just get the algorithms working and understand the code, not necessarily with associated autonomous movement (yet). Is there a good cheap sensor I could get hold of for the job and literally move it around myself? I have tried the virtual turtlebot tutorials in ROS and would like to give it a try!
I don't have experience with this but something like photogrammetry with just cameras and OpenCV would also be interesting.
Any suggestion for handling Jetson TX2 Board to prevent it from ESD ? Is it mandatory to use Antistatic Mat and Wrist Strap ?
My cubicle area is carpeted area? Need help to understand ESD.
A good place to get an answer to this question is the official NVIDIA Jetson TX2 forum: devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/188/jetson-tx2/
Thanks for watching!
JetsonHacks Actually you personally using this board in these videos. So, Are considering ESD and all? Or you are simply using it?
Anyway i have asked in the forum.
Need your comment.
Hello,
May I know which monitor you are using while booting TX2 Developer kit. I tried my monitor, it is kind of old school, but was not working." No input signal" was the error.
Do I need to get new monitor?
If yes the which one?
Thank you!!!!
The Jetson needs an HDMI monitor. If you are using an DVI monitor with an HDMI converter, it probably will not work. Any modern monitor should work, the one in the video is an inexpensive ASUS. Thanks for watching!
JetsonHacks thanks for quick replay!!!!
My question is probably very stupid but what is the benefit of this develop mentioened board vs. PC with nvidia graphical card 1080 except the cost?thank you!
This is a development board for the Jetson TX2 module, which is an embedded processor solution. It is mostly used for developing products which need low power consumption, high computing performance. For a comparison, the TX2 uses max 15W , where as the 1080 can draw > 300W. This makes the TX2 useful for battery powered applications and devices like gaming consoles, robots, medical imaging devices and so on. The 1080 is a much more general purpose GPU which has more than 10x the performance of the TX2 but has a much larger energy footprint. Thanks for watching!
Hi, what a neat video, I want to know that, after using Host PC which installed Ubantu to flash it, can the TX2 work solely with it own embedded linux system like a RaspberryPi? Does it have a Wi-Fi model?
Thank you for the kind words. The answer to both of your questions is yes. Once flashed, the Jetson TX2 runs an Ubuntu desktop, you can attach a keyboard, mouse and display. The TX2 has built in WiFi and Bluetooth. Thanks for watching!
TKX, fast response and big help!
Hi bro, I just received my tx2 this week, but I just met an issue about Ubuntu WiFi which is so weak to find any signal, neither on tx2 or my Ubuntu installed laptop, so I wonder whether I can use a virtual machine to run Ubuntu on my macOS and share the internet connection, the fact is that WiFi connection under macOS is 100% good.
Did you put the antennas on it?
JetsonHacks Oops! You’re right, let me try this!
Is there a way to boot nvidia jetson TX2 development kit to a laptop with ubuntu 16.04??? if yes can you suggest if any change in the display configuration is required? Or if any change is required at all.
Not sure what you are asking. A laptop is not a display. The Jetson is a normal Linux machine, you can SSH into it or you can do screen sharing. If you need help, please ask this question on the official NVIDIA Jetson TX2 forum. Thanks for watching!
@@JetsonHacks ok. Thanks for the reply. That helped too.
@@tanmaybhadra3314 You are welcome. Thanks for watching!
Holy balls, how big is this thing? I thought it was competing with other SBCs not entire motherboards.
This is the development kit which includes a mini-ITX sized carrier board for peripheral development. The actual size of the compute module itself is 50x87mm. Typically the developers use the development kit for prototyping their solution and then choose/design a carrier board to suit their needs. Some carrier boards match the footprint of the computer module, others carry a large amount of support electronics depending on the intended use. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Can I connect Raspberry Pi camera with it?
No. You will need one of the newer Jetsons for that (Jetson Nano, Jetson Nano 2GB, Jetson Xavier NX). Thanks for watching!
@@JetsonHacks Thanks!
Is there a Mini PCIe expansion slot or a PCIe x1 slot. On website it is given that it has a PCIe x1 slot
Please see the video at: 4:52. Thanks for watching!
@@JetsonHacks No he is talking about the second slot that you talked about at 6:43
The one is a M.2 Key E slot.
@@JetsonHacks Is this same as PCIe x1 slot?
I don't understand the question. Please refer to the NVIDIA site: developer.nvidia.com/embedded/buy/jetson-tx2-devkit
It states that there is a full size PCI-E x4 slot, a M.2 Key E slot, and a SATA Data and Power.
Can you test Geekbench CPU using Max-P? I'm planning on getting one these for development as well.
We only do Jetson related stuff on this channel. Thanks for watching!
Hey, no problem!
Hello,I want to ask is there any power bank can use for tx2?
You can use a power bank, I currently don't have any specific recommendation. You should ask on the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 forum for specific suggestions: devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/188/jetson-tx2/. Thanks for watching!
Ok,thanks for answering
The 1.5 teraflops of tegra x2 are in fp16 or fp32?
The TX2 has 5 different modes that trade off between performance and energy consumption (battery life). Measured in FP16. I believe that the 1.5 TFLOPS you quote comes from a mode called Max-P which puts 4 of the CPU cores on line (the TX2 has six all together) @ 2.0GHz, and clocks the GPU @ around 1.12GHz. The Max-N mode clocks all six CPUs at 2.0GHz and the GPU @ 1.33GHz, which is ~2 TFLOPS. Energy conservation mode is Max-Q, which clocks 4 CPUs @ 1.2GHz and the GPU @ 0.85GHz. That gives ~1TFLOP, equivalent to a Jetson TX1. The system designer/programmer can pick and choose the different clock frequencies based on their application.
You might imagine a case where the device is in a dock where it can draw power from the wall and provide maximum performance, and another case where the device is running only off a battery with a screen and some controllers attached. Thats why there are different power modes. Thanks for watching!
JetsonHacks In maximum performance is to say to 2 TFLOPS its battery would last equal or less than the one of tegra x1?
Would it be possible to implement this in an upcoming review of the nintendo switch?
Both the Jetson TX1 and TX2 use about the same amount of power at maximum clock rates. The TX2 has about twice the performance. So at 2 TFLOPS the battery lasts the same amount of time as a TX1 at 1 TFLOP. If you run the TX2 @ ~1 TFLOP, then you get twice the battery life as a TX1 running @ ~1 TFLOP.
You'll have to ask some who knows more about the Switch than I do about a possible implementation. I don't know enough about the Switch devkit to be of much help.
Thank you for answering my questions.
You're welcome, and thanks for watching!
cool
here is my stekerrr 😂
Can we use it Like a Computer also or a Android Gaming Console?
It's a fully functioning Ubuntu desktop. Honestly, it's more what a designer would use to build a gaming console rather than a gaming console itself. Thanks for watching!
JetsonHacks Thanks I Love to get it to build a PC or Android TV console... No problem Glad to watch Great vid...
is the PCIe connector 3.0 or 2.0?
I believe that is a Gen 2 slot. Thanks for watching!
So it can play Halflife 2 right?
Probably not. This is an ARM machine, Halflife only runs on PCs. Thanks for watching!
Hey
I would like to ask you few questions do you have an email
Thanks
finally
Hello, do you know how I can set this up to work on Mac? :o
Sorry, this is a channel for the NVIDIA Jetson Development Kits. You should look elsewhere for Macintosh help.
oh I got the NVIDIA Jetson X2 but i was wondering which software can i use to get started on it. I saw that you're using caffe but I'm just so confused
Hi Karla,
In order to work with the Jetson TX2, you will need a PC that runs Ubuntu 14.04 to get started. This will allow you to flash the Jetson with the latest software and libraries using a program called JetPack, available through the NVIDIA embedded developer website. You can ask general purpose questions on the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 forum: devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/188/jetson-tx2/ where a large group of Jetson developers reside. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! also one quick question, is it possible to use the same laptop that you are using as the monitor and keyboard for the Jetson?
You can do a remote desktop, the typical screen sharing stuff.
Can it run crysis lol
Hyperspin the shit out of this.
That's not a hammerhead
Next you're going to tell me it's not actually a real shark!
