As for interfacing with the DS or robot, which would you consider the most efficient? I believe that keeping it on the robot would be simpler, though I may be wrong.
The only tutorials you'll find are on the eLinux Wiki page (http://elinux.org/Jetson_TK1) and the Nvidia developer website which is where they tell you how to set it up. I started with the wiki which has all the steps and links to the dev site. Other than that the tutorials you need are for using Linux Ubuntu, developing with OpenCV, using the OpenCV CUDA library, and how RS-232 works.

Robot is simpler. Plug in USB camera, plug in DB9 cable, plug in power, done. Also regulating the voltage going to the Jetson is a good idea (what else are you putting in to the 12V 2A VRM port?).
