This carrier board is designed to be a drone platform powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano or NX, offering a robust foundation for onboard AI processing and autonomy.
The JNX110 carrier board, specifically designed to interface seamlessly with both the Jetson module and the Pixhawk flight controller (Pixhawk Autopilot Bus standard connector) allows for easy integration for a compact, high-performance architecture that supports demanding real-time applications.
The design features an integrated 5-port 100 Mbit Ethernet switch. All standard PX4 autopilot functions are supported, including an STM32F103 I/O controller for reliable and low-latency signal handling. Please take a look at the JNX 120S and JNX120M if you are looking for more compact and lightweight solution, if you only need the flight controller without the Jetson carrier, have a look at the D112.
Connectivity options between the Jetson module and flight controller (FC) include:
- UART, CAN, and 100Mbit Ethernet
This board includes the following features:
- Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) standard connector
- 4x UART
- 2x I2C

The key differences between the rev 1 and rev 2 variants are as follows:
rev 1 (initial samples for beta customers):
- No flight controller Ethernet connection
- 7x FMU, 8x I/O
- shipping now (introductory price)
rev 2:Â
- 8x FMU, 4x FMU (NXP only), 8x I/O
- internal connection to Ethernet switch
- CAN1 and CAN2: 2 connectors each for feed through
- CAN3 (NXP only)
- starts shipping in Dec 2025
An NDAA compliant variant for the rev 2 version is available to guarantee compliance with the requirements of the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Section 889 (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), which prohibits the use, procurement, or contracting of certain telecommunications and video surveillance equipment or services from specified Chinese entities.
