Mechanical Differences
Jetson Orin NX and Jetson Xavier NX have the same X/Y dimensions as can be seen in Table 4.
There are four holes in the PCB for screws to pass through the thermal solution and the
module to a metal bracket below the module. The thermal solution contacts the SoC (with
thermal material placed between). The locations of the four holes are different for each
module.

 Function and Interface Difference Details

Ethernet
Both Jetson Orin NX and Jetson Xavier NX have on-module Ethernet PHYs and support an MDI
Gigabit Ethernet interface at the module pins.

SDIO and SD Card

Jetson Xavier NX brings a single SDMMC interface to the module pins (SDCARD pins
supporting SD Card or SDIO). Jetson Orin NX does not support this interface. The module
SDMMC pins are used for PCIe functionality.

HMDI and DisplayPort Mapping Options

Jetson Orin NX supports a single HDMI, eDP, and DP interface and supports multi-head
support through MST (on DP only). Jetson Xavier NX supports two HDMI, eDP, and DP
interfaces but does not support multi-head operation. On Jetson Orin NX, two USB SS
interfaces use a portion of the other display interface on Jetson Xavier NX.
