dfr1242 carrier board with Jetson Orin Nano
Marcin.Majak 2026-06-30 16:07:01 279 Views1 Replies Hi,
I would like to use the DFR1242 carrier board with a Jetson Orin Nano. I bought this carrier board: https://www.dfrobot.com/product-3019.html, but according to the description it supports only the NVIDIA® Jetson Nano™, Jetson Xavier™ NX, and Jetson TX2™. Through trial and error, I successfully installed the Jetson Orin Nano with JetPack 5.1.4, but I wonder whether there are any known problems or caveats that would prevent using the Jetson Orin Nano with this carrier board.
Best regards,
Marcin
Hi, Jetson Orin Nano is not officially listed as a supported module for DFR1242 at the moment, so we cannot guarantee full compatibility.
Since you were able to boot it with JetPack 5.1.4, the basic power and common interfaces may work, but some functions may still have compatibility risks, such as GPIO pin mapping, CSI camera, M.2/PCIe, fan control, power mode, or device tree/BSP configuration.
For development or testing, you may continue using it if your required interfaces are verified one by one. For a stable production setup, we recommend using the officially supported Jetson Nano / Xavier NX / TX2 modules, or a carrier board specifically designed for Jetson Orin Nano.
