Low Latency C&C and Video Streaming with the Nvidia Jetson Nano: Hardware Setup
Hardware Setup
Figure 2 – Basic Hardware Setup
Power
The Jetson Nano can be powered over the standard USB Micro device port (J28) or the barrel connector (J25). Use a 5-V supply with at least a 2-A current rating. The camera is powered over the MIPI CSI2 interface. Follow the datasheet of your particular Smart Radio model when choosing a power supply.
Camera Setup
We recommend using the MIPI CSI2 interface
for the camera, however if desired a USB camera could also be used. USB 2.0 has
a maximum link speed of 480 Mbps which is unsuitable for raw 1080p30 video,
which means that you will need at least a USB 3.0 interface. Note that the HDMI
port on Nano is an output port, so you cannot connect an HDMI camera to it. For
more discussion on video codec and data rate, please refer to our companion
