Getting Started with reComputer Robotics J601
This page is a preliminary draft for the upcoming reComputer Robotics J601 carrier board for NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor modules. Specifications, software support, accessory bundles, and mechanical details are still subject to change.
The reComputer Robotics J601 is a robotics-focused carrier board for NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor modules. It is intended for high-performance embodied AI and robotic control workloads that require high-speed networking, industrial I/O, GMSL camera expansion, and wide-range DC input in a compact carrier-board form factor.
Preliminary Features
- Support for NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor module
- M.2 Key M slot for NVMe 2280 SSD
- M.2 Key E slot for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module
- M.2 Key B slot for 5G module and Nano SIM support
- High-speed Ethernet with planned PTP and EtherCAT support
- Rich robotics I/O including CAN, RS-232/422/485, DI/DO, I2C, I2S, SPI, and GPIO
- GMSL expansion for up to 8 cameras
- Wide-range 19V to 48V DC input through XT30
- Target software platform: JetPack 7
