Overview

The X241 is a high-performance and extendable carrier board designed for the NVIDIA Jetson Thor. Its architecture allows the integration of powerful extension boards, such as the M280, which provides four M.2 Key M slots (4× PCIe x4). The X241 also enables connection of multiple Jetson Thor modules via PCIe x8 or 10GbE, supporting scalable multi-module systems.

Engineered with an industrial-grade design, the X241 is fully suited for commercial deployment at any production volume. It is built using readily available components, ensuring ease of scaling for manufacturing. In addition, the board maintains backwards compatibility with the X231 platform for Jetson AGX Orin, allowing for a smooth migration from Jetson AGX Xavier or AGX Orin systems.

Key features include a CSI-2 extension connector, an integrated crypto chip for software protection, and support for custom configurations upon request. Designed and manufactured in Germany, the X241 offers a robust and flexible foundation for deploying Jetson Thor in demanding applications.
