Holybro Pixhawk Jetson Baseboard

Description

The Holybro Pixhawk Jetson Baseboard is based on the Pixhawk Autopilot Bus open source specification and the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX/Nano Carrier Board. The Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) Form Factor enables this to be used with any PAB flight controller such as the Pixhawk 6X
