The lightest AGX Orin carrier board with CAN that I can confirm is the Forecr DSBOARD-AGX, at 103 g. It has only one CAN port, though. If you need two CAN buses, the Realtimes RTSO-2005 (119 g) and Forecr MILBOARD-AGX (120 g) weigh only slightly more. forecr.io +3forecr.io ↗“mechanical.weight_g=103 g”forecr.io ↗“io.can_port_count=1”realtimesai.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=119”forecr.io ↗“mechanical.weight_g=120 g”
There's a catch: 35 carrier boards support Jetson AGX Orin and have CAN, but only 16 list a weight. The other 19 couldn't be ranked, so one of them could be lighter.

Notes for a quadruped:
- RTSO-2006: the maker describes it as being "for humanoid robots and embodied AI." It has the most CAN ports in this group (4), plus 12 GMSL camera inputs, and weighs 154 g. realtimesa... +2realtimesai.com ↗“for humanoid robots and embodied AI”realtimesai.com ↗“io.can_port_count=4”realtimesai.com ↗“io.gmsl_camera_inputs=12”
- MILBOARD-AGX: carries a MIL-STD certification, but which standard isn't specified. I couldn't find shock or vibration ratings for any of the six boards above. forecr.ioforecr.io ↗“compliance.certifications=MIL-STD (unspecified)”
Small boards with no listed weight. These are about the same size as or smaller than DSBOARD-AGX, so they might be just as light or lighter. Check their datasheets or ask the makers for weights:
