Full spec sheet
Reference carrier P3768, shipped only inside the developer kit with the Jetson Orin Nano 8GB development module. NVIDIA states it supports every Jetson Orin Nano and Orin NX module; it feeds the module 5 V only, and Orin NX 40W (MAXN_SUPER) is not supported on it. Not the original Jetson Nano Developer Kit carrier (P3449), which takes no Orin module.

Research gaps mentioning this product
- NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit: operating temperature range, exact onboard USB port count/type, and camera CSI connector count on the reference carrier were not confirmed with a verbatim source quote (carrier board spec PDF still not fetchable).
- NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit: operating temperature range and camera/CSI port count on the reference carrier were not confirmed; jetson_thor_t4000 compatibility with this specific developer kit board was not independently verified.
- NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit (reference carrier P3768) with Orin NX: NVIDIA states the carrier supports every Orin NX module at VDD_IN 5 V and that Orin NX 40W (MAXN_SUPER) is not supported; it states nothing for the uncapped standard MAXN preset or a draw above 25 W on this carrier, which stay to be validated on the board.
