I started this tutorial series on the Jetson Nano because, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Raspberry Pi boards were in short supply. I decided to explore alternatives and came across the Jetson Nano. However, I found it more challenging than Arduino and Raspberry Pi. To help other embedded enthusiasts, I decided to create easy-to-understand tutorials on setting up and using the Jetson Nano. Through these tutorials, I aim to simplify the learning process and provide practical guidance for beginners.
Other than that I prefer Raspberry than Jetson Nano, Here is a Short Comparison. I will do a detailed comparison in another post later.
(1) Performance: The Jetson Nano J1010 has a more powerful GPU with 128 CUDA cores, which makes it well-suited for AI and machine learning applications. The Raspberry Pi 4B, on the other hand, has a more general-purpose CPU and GPU combination. If your project involves AI-related tasks, the Jetson Nano J1010 would generally offer better performance.
(2)Software Ecosystem: Raspberry Pi has a large and mature community with extensive software support. It has a wide range of operating systems and software libraries available. The Jetson Nano also has good software support, but it may have a more specialized focus on AI frameworks and tools.
(3)GPIO and Peripheral Support: Raspberry Pi boards have a rich set of GPIO pins and broad peripheral support, making them suitable for a variety of projects involving sensors, actuators, and other external devices. While the Jetson Nano does have GPIO pins, the Raspberry Pi offers more flexibility in this regard.
(4)Price: Raspberry Pi boards are generally more affordable compared to the Jetson Nano. If cost is a significant factor for your project, the Raspberry Pi 4B might be a more budget-friendly option.
While the tutorial series primarily focuses on using the reComputer J10 by Seeed Studios, the concepts and instructions can be applied to any kind of Jetson Nano board. Here are a few examples of other
Boards and Developer Kits That use Jetson Nano:
