Connect Tech Inc. (CTI), an Ontario, Canada-based embedded-computing group, has launched the Astro Carrier for Jetson TX1. It’s the first commercially available, deployment-ready carrier board for NVIDIA supercomputing module.

Measuring only 57 x 87 mm, Astro Carrier operates in temperatures ranging from -40º to +85ºC. This lets it pack Jetson TX1’s supercomputing punch across a wide range of environmental conditions.

Astro Carrier connects with off-the-shelf or custom breakout boards, and offers a full array of features, including:2 Gigabit ports/ 1 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0 port/ 1 HDMI port/ Up to 3 camera serial interface channels/ Mini PCIe expansion support.

CTI also announced a lower cost carrier board, aptly named Elroy. It offers a lighter feature set while retaining the durability the company is known for. Elroy is slated to be available in April.

Pricing and availability of Astro Carrier for Jetson TX1 will be announced shortly, with delivery expected in the coming weeks.
