NOTE
Welcome to the NVIDIA Jetson platform! There two key things you should do right
away:
1. Sign up for the NVIDIA Developer Program – this enables you to ask
questions and contribute on the NVIDIA Jetson Forums, gives access to all
documentation and collateral on the Jetson Download Center, and more.
2. Read this User Guide! After that, check out these important links:
•
• Support Resources – This web page links to important resources, including the
Jetson FAQ – Please read the FAQ.
•
Jetson Forum and the Jetson Ecosystem page.
Jetson Linux Driver Package Release Notes – Jetson Linux Driver Package
(L4T) is a key component of the Jetson platform, and provides the sample
filesystem for your developer kit. Please read the latest release notes.
• Thanks,

JETSON TX2 DEVELOPER KIT
The NVIDIA® Jetson™ TX2 Developer Kit gives you a fast, easy way to develop software
and hardware for the Jetson TX2 AI supercomputer on a module. Jetson TX2 is ideal for
applications requiring high computational performance in a low power envelope.
NVIDIA JetPack™ SDK supports both your developer kit and host development
platform. It includes:
• Sample Linux filesystem with NVIDIA drivers
• AI and Computer Vision libraries and APIs
• Developer tools
• Documentation and sample code
Before using your developer kit, you must install JetPack. A Linux host computer is
required; for details, see How to Install JetPack, below.
Minimum system requirements for the host computer are:
• Ubuntu Linux x64 v16.04 or v18.04
• A valid Internet connection
• At least 23GB of disk space
INCLUDED IN THE BOX
The Jetson TX2 Developer Kit includes:
Jetson TX2 module (P3310) with thermal solution
•
• Reference carrier board (P2597)
• Power supply with AC cord
• USB Micro-B to USB A cable
• USB Micro-B to Female USB A cable
•
(2x) WLAN/Bluetooth antenna

Note about carrier board revisions
The B02 and B04 revision carrier boards are extremely similar. B04 added the CR5 and
CR6 LEDs and some minor circuit changes. The C02 revision included changes in
support of Jetson TX2i and Jetson TX2 4GB modules, consolidation of button header pins
into a single pin header, and changing the SATA connector to a right angle type to avoid
possible conflict with a PCIe card.
See the Jetson TX2 Developer Kit Carrier Board Specification for comprehensive information.

o Power pins.
Jetson TX2 Developer Kit
DA_09452-005 | 3
Two 3.3V power pins and two 5V power pins. These are not switchable;
power is always available when the developer kit is connected to power.
Interface signal pins.
By default, all interface signal pins are 3.3V, but some can be configured for
1.8V. See [J24] information below.
Jetson Linux Driver Package (L4T) provides a Python library, Jetson.GPIO,
for controlling GPIOs. The library has the same API as RPi.GPIO. See
/opt/nvidia/jetson-gpio/doc/README.txt on your Jetson system for
details.
By default, all interface signal pins are configured as GPIOs, except pins 3
and 5 and pins 27 and 28, which are I2C SDA and SCL, and pins 8 and 10,
which are UART TX and RX.

[J22] The camera connector supports up to six directly connected cameras via
CSI-2, or up to 12 cameras via the virtual channel feature of CSI-2. The connector
also includes some interface options for audio (I2S & DMIC).
[J24] The voltage select header enables either 3.3V or 1.8V for these [J21] 40-pin
expansion header pins:
Pins 7, 12, 13, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 29, 32, 33, 35, 38, and 40
The 3.3V level is selected when a jumper is on [J24] pins 1-2. The 1.8V level is
selected when a jumper is on [J24] pins 2-3.
[J25] Use the included developer kit power supply with this DC power jack.
[J26] 30-pin expansion header includes:
o Power pins.
One 1.8V power pin, one 3.3V power pin, and one 5V power pin. These are
