For a patrol boat, which AI Blox units are IP67, have CAN bus and run a Jetson Xavier NX?

Question

Two AI Blox units meet all three requirements: the **Blox - MX1030-1** and the **Blox - MX1030-2**. Both are fanless full systems in the BLOX product line.

**AI Blox units with IP67, CAN bus and Jetson Xavier NX**

| Product | Jetson module | IP rating | CAN bus | Operating temp | AI performance | FP32 (based on module) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blox - MX1030-1 | Jetson Xavier NX | IP67 | Yes | -25 °C to 60 °C | 21 TOPS | 0.845 TFLOPS |
| Blox - MX1030-2 | Jetson Xavier NX | IP67 | Yes | -25 °C to 60 °C | 21 TOPS | 0.845 TFLOPS |

The 21 TOPS figure is INT8 dense, which is how performance is rated for Xavier-generation modules.

**For a patrol boat:**
- **Power:** both units take a 12–24 V input.
- **Shock and vibration:** both are rated to EN 60068-2-6 / EN 60068-2-27. - **Connectivity:** both have 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and PoE. 
- **Marine certification:** I couldn't find one for either unit. The only certification listed is CE, so check marine approval with AI Blox if your boat needs it.

The specs I have for the two units are identical. I couldn't find what makes the -1 different from the -2, so ask AI Blox before choosing between them.

The other IP67 AI Blox units with CAN bus use different modules. The Blox_V runs Jetson Orin NX or Jetson Nano, the MX1010 runs Jetson Nano and the MX1020 runs Jetson TX2 NX.

Product	Jetson module	IP rating	CAN bus	Operating temp	AI performance	FP32 (based on module)
Blox - MX1030-1	Jetson Xavier NX	IP67	Yes	-25 °C to 60 °C	21 TOPS	0.845 TFLOPS
Blox - MX1030-2	Jetson Xavier NX	IP67	Yes	-25 °C to 60 °C	21 TOPS	0.845 TFLOPS
