Tony is a Geek

 https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/autonomous-machines/embedded-systems/jetson-orin/nano-super-developer-kit/ I saw one of these about a year ago & I was going to order one, they were expensive and mostly out of stock, so I thought I would wait a while. Then there was a shortage, so I thought I would wait a bit longer. Alas, time has zoomed by and now I have the opportunity to purchase one.  I did however purchase it from Amazon, it did have to come from the US, so it was delayed by a couple of weeks, however import tax was included in the price so it wasn't much more on the price.  Talking of which, basically £250 - which is amazing. What does this device offer? What is the first thing to do once unpackaged?  Well, it is a pretty basic box, the device on one side and the power cables the other. No instructions, nothing.  PERFECT! :-) Geeks only allowed. So, time to click the [Download SDK] button, that redirects you to the good old JetPack page (I remember doing...

The Oak-1 is an all-in-one machine vision solution. It’s a 4-trillion-operations-per-second AI powerhouse that performs your AI models on board so that your host is free to do whatever you need it to do. Its integrated 12 MegaPixel camera module communicates over an on board 2.1 Gbps MIPI interface directly to the Myriad X, which ingests this data and performs neural inference on it, returning the results over USB. Such a data path offloads the host processor from all of this work. In the common use case of object detection from a 12MP image, this means your host is now dealing with a 24 Kbps stream of what the objects are and where they are in the image, instead of a 2.1 Gbps stream of video. So an 87,500 reduction in data your host has to deal with, and such a reduction means that even on relatively slow hosts, one can use doz...
