AVerMedia D131 Vs D131L: A Comparison
In today’s video, we will compare the AVerMedia D131 versus the D131L. Although they are similar at first glance, each device serves a unique purpose. Let’s dive in and uncover the distinctions between them.
The AVerMedia D131 Carrier Board
First off all, let’s introduce AVerMedia’s D131 Carrier Board. Designed as a companion to the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano/Orin NX modules, the D131 Carrier Board provides a platform for connecting peripherals, expansion modules, and additional interfaces to unleash the full potential of the Jetson Orin Nano/Orin NX.
The AVerMedia D131L Carrier Board
Next, we have the AVerMedia’s D131L Carrier Board which also supports the Jetson Orin Nano/Orin NX modules and serves as a comprehensive development-to-production platform for AI at the edge. It is not only ideal for development of AI applications, but when your development is complete, the device can be deployed directly to the field.
Features of the D131 Carrier Board
Now, let’s delve into the features of the D131 Carrier Board. This board provides a plethora of connectivity options, including 4 USB ports, Ethernet, HDMI, 2x 2-lane and 1x 4-lane MIPI, and more. It’s designed to expand the capabilities of the Jetson Orin Nano/Orin NX using AVerMedia’s custom BSP, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Features of the D131L Carrier Board
Similarly, the D131L Carrier Board includes 4x USB ports, Ethernet, HDMI, 1x 2-lane MIPI, and more. It’s an all-in-one solution for getting started with AI development on the Orin Nano/Orin NX platform that can be deployed directly to the field after development. The biggest development advantage is that the D131L Carrier Board supports the use of NVIDIA’s native BSP and can be updated using NVIDIA’s SDK Manager.
Peripheral Expansion and Form Factor
When it comes to peripheral expansion, both Carrier Boards offer a 40-pin expansion header and OOB supported by Allxon allowing users to connect specialized sensors, cameras, and other peripherals and even perform OTA deployment. This makes either board an excellent choice for projects with diverse hardware requirements. In terms of form factor, both the D131 and D131L Carrier share the same dimensions allowing them to be interchanged seamlessly if needed. Consider your project’s specific needs when choosing between the D131 Carrier Board and the D131L Carrier Board.
Choosing the Right Board for Your Project
The D131 Carrier Board is ideal for projects requiring extensive peripheral connectivity and expansion capabilities, while the D131L Carrier Board offers simplicity and convenience for initial development into deployment. You’re stepping into the world of cutting-edge AI development. Your choice depends on the scope and requirements of your project.
