Poor nVidia Jetson, you did great for the last 5 years.
Managed to fry the eMMC by shorting pins, it looks like.
Note for future self: fully enclose boards with tight spaces.

Just saying that I never heard about nVidia Jetson up until today and now I have purchased it to upgrade my robowife.
Same, never heard of them, but I'm not seeing an obvious use case. What are they useful for?
It's pretty good for AI tasks at the edge, e.g. fully local image recognition.
I'm edging right now just thinking about it
Ahh gotcha, similar to Google's Coral? Neat.
I've recently been looking into locally hosting some LLMs for various purposes, I haven't specced out hardware yet. Any good resources you can recommend?
Kind of, it's a standalone system with the hardware integrated - kinda like Google Coral with a Raspberry Pi.
Not really, sorry - I haven't gone too deep into LLMs beyond simple use cases. I've only really used llama.cpp myself.
A dedicated NVIDIA GPU in a random x86 pc is a lot faster and more price efficient than a Jetson.
If it isn't about the form factor the Jetson is not a great contender.
Ah, gotcha - the Jetson devices are definitely robowife capable lol. I suspect it is mostly used for things like AI enabled electronic devices, but it is possible to use ROS for robotics!
