Jetson Nano Is a Better Choice for AI on the Edge?

[madurapa]

It’s worth considering the NVIDIA Jetson Nano as a stronger option than the Raspberry Pi 4 for AI and edge computing. While the Pi excels at general-purpose tasks, the Jetson Nano features a 128-core Maxwell GPU and native support for CUDA, TensorRT, and popular deep learning frameworks.

Is this one the same ? https://shopee.com.my/reComputer-Jetson-Nano-4G-AI-Developer-Kits-with-NVidia-Jetson-Nano-(B01)-System-on-Module-(SoM)-i.195466151.29959123980

If it's this, then yes. (the link above cannot be accessed without logging in)

From my understanding, we need three main components:

• NVIDIA Jetson Nano
• Base Board
• Heat Sink

Optional:

• Fan
• eMMC (depending on whether the base board supports it)

If it's too expensive, we can start with a Raspberry Pi in the initial stage and switch to this later if we need more processing power.

We can also consider Banana Pi or Orange Pi, as they are relatively cheaper and often more powerful than the Raspberry Pi.
