Holybro Pixhawk Jetson Baseboard

The Holybro Pixhawk Jetson Baseboard is a highly integrated carrier board designed to bridge the gap between advanced flight control and high-performance edge computing. Engineered for autonomous UAVs, robotics, and ROS-based development, this single board hosts both a standard Pixhawk autopilot module and an NVIDIA Jetson compute module. By eliminating complex external wiring and custom harnesses, it provides a clean, robust foundation for AI, computer vision, and advanced pathfinding applications.

Key features

• Dual-socket design accepts a standard Pixhawk FMU module (v6X or v6C) and an NVIDIA Jetson SO-DIMM compute module.

• High-speed internal routing bridges the flight controller and companion computer directly via Ethernet and UART.

• Comprehensive I/O for payloads, including Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, HDMI, and dual MIPI CSI camera ports.

• Dual M.2 expansion slots provide support for NVMe SSD storage (Key M) and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth wireless modules (Key E).

• Full breakout of standard autopilot interfaces including dual CAN, GPS, I2C, telemetry, and PWM outputs.
