there are a number of boards being released which i wonder, would they work with Turing PI 2 Sodimm factor (im not sure if Sodimm is a standard in this context) - BananaPi - BPI-RK3588 Core Board- RK3588 - upto 8GB Ram - Radxa - NX 5 - RK3588s - upto 16 GB Ram - Firefly - Core-3588J - RK3588 - upto 32GB Ram - Khadas - Edge - RK3399 - upto 4GB Ram I think the Nx5 one may have been used in prototyping just wondering if any of these boards could be used as a drop in placement, while we wait for the RK module (ps epic excited) (added) **CM4 Factor **(should hopefully be easier, as the CM4 is the standard) - Pine - SOQUARTZ - RK3566 - upto 8GB Ram if we can build up a page to know what we can use 😄

the radxa probably can, they claim to be compatible with the jetson nano and xavier nx pinouts. though it's a 3588s so it probably won't have the pcie lanes needed to do the nvme (unless they added a pcie switch)

great points re the compatibility, is it that its SODIMM that makes it compatible? (does everyone agree on the pin layout, or that Nvidia have an interface definition)

not sure either. i think that nvidia just defined one for the jetson nano and xavier lines (and is slightly different in the new orin lines). i don't think that it's mxm 3.0. but i've not seen anything anywhere about what it is

(i wonder if someone can post more info on this, also updated NX5 with the S variant of the CPU)

I'm most likely gonna wait for the RK1 modules to invest a lot into modules, but I want to play around with cheaper modules in the meantime. A community-validated compatibility list would be a big help !

https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/SOQuartz Does anyone know if the pci-e on this one would be exposed through on Turing Pi 2? I've tried to figure it out but not sure I've got the right answer.

I assume that if this works on a Super6c (which it does), it is because it is pin compatible for the PCIe part. So I guess the answer is yes.

i would like to get the RK1 modules too 🙂 but in the case of availability (RPI's is impossible to buy), it may be good to understand our options

So we talked about setting up a wiki page. What would we need to do to get that set up?

Could put it on a Github Repo and add a wiki to it?

I believe it was already mentioned that these Orin won't work with the Turing Pi 2 because of the power that they draw. From the comments on Kickstart posted by Costa Al: "Unfortunately the Orin modules are not compatible with the upcoming Turing Pi 2 board due to power limitations" Of course they could sell an adapter board that the Orin would plug into and that adapter board would be externally powered. So the Orin board would not be powered directly from the Turing Pi 2. That in itself could cause other issues though. The Orin does have a configurable power, so it might work just at a less processing power level.

I'd like to add that later Costa Al said:

Orin NX cannot be bought until August. There is a small chance that Orin will work after tests

Additionally Nvidia said that you can indeed use Orin NX and Orin Nano boards in Xavier NX Develoepr kit (And Xavier NX is supported by TP2), but not all of the features can be used (so it's also a case if these that can be used are enough). Also it looks like Xavier NX Developer kit can handle power consumption of the Orin NX. source: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/so-the-jetson-orin-nano-will-work-with-the-xavier-nx-carrier-board/229168 I believe this means that these devices are going to be tested with TP2 and currently the answer is they possibly can work, but will be verified later.
