I found five carrier boards that take a 5 V power input. Three run only from 5 V. The other two accept a wider range that includes 5 V.

What this means for your design:
- Orin-class module: the two Diamond Systems Jackson boards are the only matches that support Orin Nano and Orin NX.
- Supply headroom: the Jackson boards will also run if your rail is ever replaced with a higher voltage, up to 20 V.
- Compact, headless design: the Quark measures 82.6 x 58.8 mm. connecttec...connecttech.com ↗“82.6 x 58.8 mm headless carrier board”
- Current capacity: I couldn't find how much current each board draws at 5 V. Check that your rail can supply the board plus the module and any peripherals. The links below go to each board's datasheet.
What I couldn't check:
- 18 carrier boards have no input voltage listed, so I couldn't tell whether they accept 5 V. They aren't included above.
- None of the other carrier boards I checked accept 5 V. Their lowest stated input is 7 V or higher.
