Product Overview
The NVIDIA® Jetson Orin Nano™ Super Developer Kit is the entry kit of the Jetson Orin family: a small AI computer for prototyping computer-vision, robotics and local generative-AI applications at the edge. It runs JetPack 7.2.1 (Jetson Linux / L4T r39.2.1), the current release for this kit.
Key facts (verified against NVIDIA's documentation)
- "Super" is a software configuration, not new hardware: the same module (P3767) and carrier board (P3768) as the earlier "Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit", renamed at the Super update. (Developer Kit User Guide; NVIDIA Super Boost announcement)
- Kit headline numbers: up to 67 INT8 TOPS, up to 102 GB/s memory bandwidth, power 7W to 25W, and a 1.7x generative-AI improvement over the previous generation. (Developer Kit User Guide — Introduction)
- Ampere GPU with 1,024 CUDA cores and 32 Tensor Cores; 6-core Arm Cortex-A78AE 64-bit CPU up to 1.7 GHz; 8GB 128-bit LPDDR5. (Datasheet; Jetson Orin spec page)
- Storage: a microSD card slot on the underside of the module plus external NVMe support; no eMMC, and no storage in the box. (Datasheet; Quick Start)
- Runs JetPack 7.2.1 (L4T r39.2.1; Ubuntu 24.04, kernel 6.8, CUDA 13.2.2, TensorRT 10.16.2) via the Jetson ISO method from a USB flash drive. Supported range: JetPack 6.x or 7.2/7.2.1 (7.0/7.1 did not support Orin). (Quick Start; JetPack downloads; JetPack archive)
- Carrier board: DisplayPort, Gigabit Ethernet, four USB 3.2 Type-A ports, USB-C, two MIPI CSI connectors, three M.2 slots, 40-pin header. See Interfaces & Hardware Layout. (Developer Kit User Guide — Hardware Layout)
What "Super" means
The Super performance boost is delivered by a software power mode that raises the GPU, memory and CPU clocks on the same hardware, and NVIDIA says existing kits get it by upgrading JetPack: "Existing Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit users can get the 'Super' performance boost with a software upgrade." (Developer Kit User Guide; NVIDIA Super Boost announcement)
The table below compares the original kit with the Super configuration. (NVIDIA Super Boost announcement)
| Item | Original Orin Nano Developer Kit | Super configuration |
|---|---|---|
| GPU clock | 635 MHz | 1,020 MHz |
| CPU clock | 1.5 GHz | 1.7 GHz |
| Memory bandwidth | 68 GB/s | 102 GB/s |
| AI performance (sparse INT8) | 40 TOPS | 67 TOPS |
| FP16 compute | 10 TFLOPs | 17 TFLOPs |
| Power modes | 7W, 15W | 7W, 15W, 25W |
| Price (at Super launch, Dec 2024) | $499 | $249 |
On one number, NVIDIA's own materials differ: the Super announcement describes the previous memory bandwidth as "65 GB/s", while NVIDIA's module specification tables list 68 GB/s for the original 8 GB configuration. The table above uses the specification figure; both refer to the same pre-Super hardware.
For current pricing, see the Juxi store listing for this kit (SKU JX00110).
Starting with JetPack 7.2.1, the Jetson ISO flashes the kit with the Super configuration by default (JetPack downloads page). Units first installed with the JetPack 7.2 ISO may keep a non-Super profile; if 25W or MAXN SUPER is missing, see Troubleshooting.
In the L4T r39.2 power-mode table, the Super configuration lists 15W (mode 0), 25W (mode 1, default) and MAXN SUPER (mode 2, experimental; only on kits flashed with the Super configuration). MAXN SUPER runs the CPU up to 1.7 GHz, the GPU up to 1,020 MHz and the memory controller at 3,199 MHz. Read the mode with sudo /usr/sbin/nvpmodel -q; set it with sudo /usr/sbin/nvpmodel -m <mode_id>. NVIDIA's kit pages quote "7W to 25W"; the r39.2 table lists the three modes above — check your unit in Verify Your System. (L4T r39.2 Power and Performance page)

Part numbers
| Part number | What it designates |
|---|---|
| P3766 | The complete Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit |
| P3767 | The System on Module (SOM) |
| P3768 | The reference carrier board |
| P3767-0005 | Module SKU in the developer kit (Jetson Orin Nano 8GB, "for development only") |
This documentation set covers only the 8GB developer kit. The commercial 8GB Orin Nano module is a different part number (P3767-0003) and a separate target in the flashing tools — see the module-SKU note in Flashing & Updates.
Where it sits in the Orin family
- Jetson Orin Nano 8GB — this kit. The entry point of the Orin family: 67 INT8 TOPS, 8GB of unified memory, 7W to 25W.
- Jetson Orin NX. The same carrier can power, test and develop with Orin NX modules (own heat sink and fan required; a factory-fresh module must be flashed from an Ubuntu host with SDK Manager). (Developer Kit User Guide — How-To)
- Jetson AGX Orin — the flagship tier. The AGX Orin 32GB module reaches 241 TOPS in Super Mode (JetPack 7.2 release highlights). See Juxi's Jetson AGX Orin series.
The main constraint to plan for is the 8GB of unified memory; with no DLA or PVA, AI workloads run on the GPU alone — see Memory Efficiency and Local LLM.
What the developer kit is for
- Prototyping for production. JetPack 7.2.1 serves the whole Orin family, so work on the kit carries over to Orin modules used in products. (JetPack downloads page)
- Computer vision. Two MIPI CSI camera connectors; DeepStream SDK 9.1 is in the JetPack 7.2.1 component matrix — see DeepStream.
- Local generative AI. The headline claim is a 1.7x generative-AI improvement; the 8GB ceiling shapes what fits — see Local LLM.
- Robotics. NVIDIA staff recommend ROS 2 Jazzy for JetPack 7.2.1 — see Robotics.
Juxi note: Production products are built on Jetson Orin modules — the Orin Nano 8GB or an Orin NX — on a custom carrier board. The developer kit is the development vehicle, not the production part.
In the box
The box contains the developer kit (Orin Nano 8GB module with heat sink, on the reference carrier board), a 19 V power supply, the included 802.11ac/ab/gn wireless card, and a quick start and support card. NVIDIA states the kit "does not include removable storage in the box". (Datasheet; Quick Start)
You must supply:
- Storage — a microSD card (64GB, UHS-1 or larger) or an NVMe SSD. The microSD slot is on the underside of the module; insert before power on. The Juxi store bundle already includes a 64 GB microSD card, so buy storage only if you received the bare NVIDIA box or want an NVMe SSD instead.
- An installer USB drive — 16GB or larger. Write the JetPack ISO to this USB drive, not to a microSD card: SD-card images were removed in JetPack 7.2.
- A host computer with 25GB or more free space, a DisplayPort monitor and USB keyboard/mouse for desktop setup. (Quick Start; Supported Hardware)
Important Very old factory firmware must be updated first — JetPack 7.2.1 requires JetPack 6.x-generation UEFI/QSPI firmware. See Quick Start and Flashing & Updates.
