INTRODUCTION

• Connect Tech’s Rogue-X (AGX103) is a full featured NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Xavier™ module carrier board. This carrier board for AGX Xavier™ is specifically designed for commercially deployable platforms, and has an extremely small footprint of 105mm x 105mm.
• The Rogue-X provides access to an impressive list of latest generation interfaces on the AGX Xavier™ while adding additional interfaces of 3x USB 3.1, 2x GbE, 2x HDMI and a locking Mini-Fit Jr. input power connector.
• Rugged camera add-on expansion boards will also be available for use with the Rogue-X to interface directly with the AGX Xavier™ high density MIPI CSI interfaces.
• Rogue-X builds upon the success of the Rogue by adding the ability to interface to two Ximea xiX Cameras. xiX is a trademark of Ximea GmbH.

Notes| Isolation is ONLY on the camera side.

By default, these lines are connected to an I2C I/O controller on the carrier board. Pins 1&2 are pulled up to 3.3V while pins 3&4 are pulled up to 5V

Custom orders have the ability to separate these lines from the carrier board and be directly connected to the camera where 24V operation would be allowed.

Connector and Switch Locations – User Interface Side

USB UART Debug console – Micro USB-AB

Function| USB UART Debug console|
---|---|---
Location| P4
Type| 5 Pin USB Micro AB connector
Connector| Part Number: 47589-0001 Manufacturer: Molex
Mating Cable| Any standard Micro USB to USB Type A
Notes| This interface utilizes an FTDI USB to Serial device on board to allow access to the Jetson AGX Xavier™ Serial debug console using any Micro USB to USB A cable and any PC with a USB interface and serial terminal program.

USB 3.1/OTG Type C

Function| USB 3.1 device port, OTG programming port|
---|---|---
Location| J3
Type| 24 Pin USB Type C
Connector| Part Number: 632723300011 Manufacturer: Wurth
Mating Cable| Any Standard Type C interface cable or device

Note this port only supports USB devices, it does not include a display interface

Notes| This interface doubles as both a standard DFP (Downward facing port) USB 3.1 port to support USB 3.1 devices and the Jetson AGX Xavier™ Programming (flashing) interface port. The port is capable of up to USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds in normal operation. The USB 2.0 portion of the interface doubles as the OTG programming port when the FORCE RECOVERY function is applied at startup. The power to the port is disabled so an external PC connection is possible to reprogram the module using Jetpack.

The maximum power available on this output is 1.5A @5V.

USB 3.1 Type C

Function| USB 3.1 device ports|
---|---|---
Location| J4A, J4B
Type| 24 Pin USB Type C
Connector| Part Number: 632723300011 Manufacturer: Wurth
Mating Connector| Any Standard Type C interface cable or device

Note this port only supports USB devices, it will not work as a display interface

Notes| These interfaces are both standard DFP (Downward facing port) USB 3.1 Gen 2 capable ports used to support USB peripheral devices. Display devices or devices requiring 20V power modes are NOT supported.

These ports are capable up to USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10G) speeds in normal operation. Note that only any 2 interfaces can be used at 10Gbps simultaneously.

The power available from either of these ports is 3A @5V. However ONLY ONE port can be loaded at up to 3A at a time. Both will support simultaneous 1.5A loads. Overloading both of these ports will result in system power overload and the Rogue will shut down prematurely.

RTC Battery

The Rogue allows for an external RTC battery to be connected. This battery should be a 3V DC battery, and it will hold settings including date and time.

AUTO Power ON Mode behavior

1. Upon applying power the system boots immediately.

2)  Upon requesting a Software shutdown from the OS, the system will reboot after the shutdown completes without cycling power.

3)  Upon a Power Button Event ( > 500 ms but < 10 secs) the system OS will prompt with the Restart/Shutdown pop-up menu (only applicable in the GUI).

4)  Upon a Power Button Event ( > 10 secs) the system OS will prompt with the Restart/Shutdown menu (only applicable in the GUI). Note that the system will NOT shutdown.

Manual Power ON Mode behavior

1. Upon applying power the system will sit in standby, awaiting a ( > 500ms) Power Button Event.

2)  Upon requesting a Software shutdown from the OS, the system will return to standby and await a new Power Button Event ( > 500ms).

3)  Upon a Power Button Event while operating ( > 500 ms but < 10 secs) the system OS will prompt with the Restart/Shutdown menu (only applicable in the GUI).

4)  Upon a Power Button Event while operating ( > 10 secs) the system will perform a hard shutdown immediately and return to the Power On standby state awaiting a new Power Button Event.

Push Button Switches

Function| Power/Reset/Force Recovery Buttons|

---|---|---
Location| S3, S6, S5
Type| Momentary Push button micro switches
Function| Power ON switch (S3): a press of >500ms when in manual mode will trigger system to power ON.

Reset Switch (S6): a press of >500ms will trigger a full system Reset.

Force Recovery (S5): No function during normal operation. Will place the AGX Xavier™ Module into Force Recovery Mode when held during power ON.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION

1. Ensure all external system power supplies are off.

2. Install the Jetson AGX Xavier™ Module onto the Molex Mirror Mezz™ Connector. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions for proper installation of mounting hardware, heatsink/heatspreader, and any other applicable requirements from the manufacturer.

3. Install the necessary cables for application. At a minimum these would include:

4. Power cable to the input power connector on the carrier

5. HDMI video display cable

6. Keyboard and mouse via USB
   For additional information on the relevant cables, please see the Cables and Interconnects section of this manual.

7. Connect the Power Cable to the Power Supply.

8. Switch ON the Power Supply. DO NOT power up your system by plugging in live power.

FORCE RECOVERY MODE

The USB 3.1/OTG Port (J3) of the Rogue can be used to reprogram the AGX Xavier™ from another host platform running NVIDIA® Jetpack™.

1. Power down the system completely. The system power MUST be OFF, not in suspend or sleep mode.
2. Connect the OTG USB port to another host device that will be supplying the new system file.
3. Hold down the Force Recovery Button (S5) and then power the board.
4. After three (3) seconds release the Recovery button.
5. The AGX Xavier™ will show up on the host system USB list as a new NVIDIA® target device.
6. After successfully updating the system software, power off the system. A clean power up will revert the OTG port back into host mode.
