Where to Buy

The prototypes for this board were not built due to a combination of a lack of funds, and a redirection of focus to another project February of 2021. If you are interested in supporting the project, or wish to create the prototypes, I have most of the BOM in stock.

For inquires email me at chance189[at]knights.ucf.edu

Licensing

I was unsure how to license it based on AntMicro's Apache License. Due to recreating the work from Altium to Kicad, I was unable to preserve the "unmodified" files from the modified files. All modified files are released under the GPLV3 License.

Questions

How big is the Xavier NX Carrier Board PCB?

It measures 100.2 × 120 mm and has 8 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Xavier NX Carrier Board use?

438 parts, built around the APT1608SGC, 1N4148WS, BSS138PW,115(ES) and PESD0402-140. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Xavier NX Carrier Board KiCad files?

From the ApotheoTech/APT-XAV-PX4 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Xavier_NX_Carrier_Board/Xavier_NX_Carrier_Board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Xavier NX Carrier Board design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
