Hello,
I’m looking to add a Jetson module to my B2‑W, as my device currently lacks one and is operating exclusively on CPU power. I plan to use this module to run multiple CV models such as YOLO, FaceInsight, and DeepSort on the RGB stream from an Intel RealSense camera.
Could you please advise which Jetson module models are compatible with the B2‑W and suitable for my use case?
Hi generally the Nvidia jetson always has GPU, it doesnt show up directly as you would have in a normal computer and CUDA is activated. You can check
cd
cat .bashrc
If there are exports of CUDA then it is there. As for modules for compatability, we recommend do not upgrade at all the inbuilt jetson from say jetpack 5.0 to 6.0 if you dont have prior experience.
If you want to install an additional jetson hardware, any of them are compatible like the latest thor one, the only thing to be careful is to ensure that the distros are the same so if the B2-W is in ubuntu 22 then you have to put the jetson 6.0 software. I do not remember exactly the versions but this is the primary thing to be careful of. Other than that the power ports and connects can be used for this additional module.
On a side note YOLO and others work perfectly fine without load on the B2-W’s inbuilt external pc.
