Rear Transition Module for WOLF 3U VPX Orin Single Board Computers
The WOLF VPX3U-ORIN-RTM (WOLF-14R) is a 3U VPX NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin RTM Module. Specifically engineered as a companion RTM. Suitable for compatible WOLF 3U VPX Jetson AGX Orin Single Board Computers, including supported Orin-based SBC models.
By relocating service interfaces and external connectivity to the rear transition module, system designers can streamline chassis integration while maintaining access to important configuration and maintenance functions. The RTM architecture also supports efficient cable management and provides convenient access to interfaces during system bring-up and ongoing servicing.
Rear I/O Connectivity
The front panel provides access to commonly used external interfaces required during integration and servicing, including:
- Video I/O
- USB connectivity
- Ethernet
- Program button
- Reset button
These interfaces provide engineers with convenient access during software loading, debugging and system commissioning. Active video interfaces are determined by the configuration of the connected WOLF Orin SBC.
Integrated Expansion and System Interfaces
In addition to front-panel connectivity, the main board incorporates several onboard interfaces. Such as those that support system integration and communication with the attached SBC.
These include:
- SATA connector
- Four GPIO connections
- IPMC connection
- Two serial interfaces
- I²C connectivity
- NVMRO connection
The WOLF-14R1 consists of a main board and a daughter board. Therefore, providing the connector arrangement required to support the available rear-panel interfaces and board-to-board connectivity.
Video Interface Support
The RTM supports rear-panel video connectivity for compatible Orin payload modules.
Depending on the installed SBC configuration, supported video interfaces include:
- SDI
- CVBS
- DisplayPort
- HDMI
Because available video functionality depends on the connected payload module. Engineers should confirm the enabled I/O configuration when selecting an RTM for a particular system design.
