Orin Nano developer kit with the most USB ports

Asked as: “Which Orin Nano dev kit has the most USB ports? Hooking up a bunch of USB cameras for a prototype.”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

It's a three-way tie at 7 USB ports. These three partner dev kits support the Jetson Orin Nano and have the highest USB count I found among dev kits for that module:

Before you buy:

  • The 7 may include ports you can't use for cameras. The AAEON kit's description lists "6x USB 3.2 Gen 2," even though its total is 7. On another kit (AVerMedia D131LON), the total of 5 includes a Micro-B recovery port alongside 4 USB Type-A ports. I couldn't check how many of each kit's 7 ports are USB 3.x, or whether any share bandwidth. Several USB cameras streaming at once can need a lot of bandwidth, so check each kit's datasheet. up-shop.org +1up-shop.org ↗“6x USB 3.2 Gen 2”professional.avermedia.com ↗“four external USB Type-A ports and one Micro-B recovery port”
  • NVIDIA's own Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit wasn't ranked because I couldn't find its USB port count. nvidia.comnvidia.com ↗“Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit”
  • Two other partner kits for the Orin Nano have no USB count listed, so I can't say how they compare.

Next best: Nine kits have 5 USB ports, including:

If USB bandwidth turns out to be the limit, the Advantech MIC-713S-ON's 4 GMSL camera inputs are another way to connect cameras. advantech...advantech.com ↗“io.gmsl_camera_inputs=4”
