Re: NVIDIA Jetson Tk1 Basics
1) It is a full Linux computer so it has a lot of different uses, but it has a powerful GPU which makes it well suited for computer vision. For most sensors (besides the camera), you are probably better off using the roboRIO because it has better support for standard sensor protocols.

2) You would have to make custom software to interface with it, probably over ethernet. I don't really know about wiring it, besides connecting its ethernet port to the D-Link.

3) You can program it in any language that is supported on Linux, but if you are doing computer vision you probably want to use C/C++ for maximum performance.
