3-pin DC Terminal Block

The system allows an 8 to 35V DC power input from via a 3-pin pluggable terminal block. The screw clamping mechanism is a reliable way to wire
DC power. In addition to DC power, this terminal block also accepts ignition signal input (IGN).

Warning
Please make sure the voltage of DC power is correct before you connect it to the system. Supplying a voltage over 35V will damage the system.

Force Recovery Button

The force recovery button is reserved for engineering or system reflash purposes.
Please follow the below steps to boot NRU-52S into recovery mode for reflash:

  1. Make sure the ignition power mode is set to 0.
  2. Make sure the system has powered down.
  3. Press and hold down the force recovery button.
  4. Simultaneously press the power button.
  5. After 5 seconds, release the force recovery button.
  6. The NRU-52S has booted into force recovery mode and can be reflashed via the microUSB cable.

Micro SIM Slot

The Micro SIM slot can be coupled with the M.2 B key and five antenna holes for 4G LTE or 5G NR module expansion.

MicroSD Slot

DisplayPort

The system has a DisplayPort (DP) output which is a digital display interface that mainly connect video source and carry audio to a display device. When connecting a DP, it can deliver up to 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 @ 30Hz) in resolution. The system is designed to support active DP adapter/ cable from NVIDIA’s recommended display adapters. You may refer to NVIDIA’s page to find more information:

System Status LED

There are three LED indicators on the front panel: IGN, OS and PWR. The descriptions of these LEDs are listed in the following table.

Indicator Color Description
IGN Yellow Ignition power control, lit when IGN signal is applied.
OS Red Lit when Xavier NX is powered on, and booted into device tree
PWR Green Power indicator, lit when the PCBA is powered on

Power Button

The power button is a non-latched switch for ATX mode on/off operation. Press to turn on the system, PWR LED should light up and to turn off, you can either issue a shutdown command in the OS, or just press the power button. In case of system halts, you can press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to force- shutdown the system. Please note that there is a 5 seconds interval between two on/off operations (i.e. once turning off the system, you will need to wait for 5 seconds to initiate another power-on operation).

NRU-52S Series Rear Panel

No. Item Description
1 DlO & GPS PPS port The DIO port provides lx GPS PPS input, 3-CH isolated

DI and 4-CH isolated DO
2| Gigabit PoE++ .orts| Gigabit PoE++ port can provide both data and electric power to devices.
3| Groundin Mint| Chassis grounding point

DIO & GPS PPS Port

The DO is followed by open-drain design, i.e., the output voltage is decided by the external power source. We recommend to design the external power source between 5V to 24V. The DI treat 0 to 1.5V voltage input as 0 and treat 5 to 40V voltage input as 1. In Linux, each GPIO is mapped to a virtual folder. And the PPS0 is defined in our official device tree. Please refer to the following table for information on wiring and programming the isolated DIO channels.

echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio446/value Read DI Value
The following example takes DI3 as an example. The GPIO number of DI3 is 441 cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio441/value

IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Port

The Gigabit PoE ++ port supply power and data on a standard CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable. Acting as a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment), compliant with IEEE 802.3bt, it has a total power budget of 144W while each port can deliver up to 90W to a Powered Device (PD). PoE automatically detects and determine if the connected device is PoE PD or not before supplying power, making it compatible with standard Ethernet devices as well. There are screw-lock holes (indicated in red ) for each port to ensure cables are tightly secured.

Active/Link LED

LED Color Status Description
Orange Off Ethernet port is disconnected
