meta-jetson-tx2

Yocto BSP layer for the nvidia jetson tx2 boards.

NVIDIA jetson tx2 board

This is an AI supercomputer on a module, powered by NVIDIA Pascal™ architecture. Best of all, it packs this performance into a small, power-efficient form factor that’s ideal for intelligent edge devices like robots, drones, smart cameras, and portable medical devices. It supports all the features of the Jetson TX1 module while enabling bigger, more complex deep neural networks. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/autonomous-machines/embedded-systems-dev-kits-modules/.
