Seems relevant and I haven’t seen it posted here yet
Counting on the ROS teams to make good use of it😄

67 tops for something like apriltag detection or even yolo models would be crazy

Existing Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit users can experience this performance boost with just a software upgrade, so everyone can now unlock new possibilities with generative AI.
So that’s kind of cool! Freebie for existing users, but that means this ability was available on the original spec but disabled till it was fully ready to be ‘released’

This would of been awesome to see as the platform for the MRC

Wow. More performance for half the price of what we just bought our Orin’s for in November. Feels bad.

You get the boost too on the original orin’s still it’s a software update for those. OG nanos however are not part of the upgrade. Agree the price drop kind of sucks…
Luckily we bought in the Amazon Christmas return window. hopefully the 3 i just ordered will ship before jan 31 and we can return the “old” ones.
If only NVIDIA would actually put modern operating systems on the Jetson’s, rather than being way out of date.

I was able to get a OG nano up to 20.04 using a third party image from q-engineering. I wanted to be on ROS noetic as melodic was nearing EOL at the time (it’s sense passed and Noetic will be at this point soon) basically it makes the OG Nanos worthless for any latest ROS version. It’s nonsense that a device meant for high end robotics/AI work had no official upgrade path beyond 18.x afaik
Jetson Linux R32.7.6 (released November 2024) is the most up to date version for the TX1, TX2 and OG nano which is officially hard capped at 18.04 still. But we know that OG Nanos can run 20.04 unofficially so why won’t Nvidia get around to it? Not enough money to make it worth their while when they have all new dev kits to sell you.
At least the newest ones seem to ship with 22.04? NVIDIA Jetson Linux 36.4 is for:
Jetson AGX Orin Industrial
Jetson AGX Orin
Jetson Orin NX
Jetson Orin Nano (I’m assuming super as well, but it’s not on the official list yet)

Is that holding you back? We’re running Humble on our Jetsons just fine.
20.04 is still way too old. When Linux basically links C++ versions to the OS version, being out of date basically forces not using modern features.

AI marketing (see also) is absolutely ridiculous, like what even is the purpose or use case of generative ai at the edge??

For me a photo booth sort of thing quickly comes to mind. Take it from there ig

Local chatbot inside of robot instead of reaching out to a cloud service. You can serve the user manual, application guide and control the AI assisted responses back to the user to actually parse it in their native language or a level of language they can comprehend. I don’t like tokenized APIs for something that I could reasonably fit on a local service for ‘free’ long term
Hypothetical:
I’m in a plant that is not exposed to the outside Internet in any capacity. Mobile Robots operate on a separate network from the PLC and line side machinery even. The robots are in a world of their own and can only work with the data and processors they have.
A Mobile Robot fleet manager could make use of the generative AI ‘cloud’ available to it locally on prem (through the bots) and use the processors in X number of edge devices together to process the gen ai stuff faster.
It’s not a strong selling point, but there are use cases even in a quick brainstorm

When your car breaks down the AI can trap you inside and run “ads” customized to your pleading until you give in and purchase a new car?

Hi everyone, I noticed that the performance of the Jetson Orin NX 8GB has changed from 70 TOPS to 117 TOPS, but the price remains the same. Are there any updates regarding the hardware, or is this just a software update or a change in the measurement method?

We bought 3 Orin nano 8 GB in July🥶

As long as they are Orin Nanos (the ones with the actively cooled heatsink to tell at a glance) you can get the performance bump, the change is completely software, the ‘new’ super is just a rename.

Likely the same thing that happened with the Nano since they have extremely similar hardware, that is a performance boosting software change. (the Orin Nano Super is identical to the Orin Nano hardware wise)
