Milk-V Launches Jupiter NX Module Featuring RISC-V Compatible with NVIDIA Jetson NX Carrier Boards

Milk-V has announced the availability of the Jupiter NX, a compact computer-on-module designed to support RISC-V architecture. This module is compatible with existing carrier boards for the NVIDIA Jetson NX compute module, offering a unique alternative for developers.

The Jupiter NX features an 8-core SpacemiT K1 RISC-V processor and a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capable of 2 TOPS. While its performance may not match the latest offerings from NVIDIA, it is aimed at providing a more affordable entry point for developers interested in RISC-V technology.

The module is currently available through Arace with a starting price of $50 for the base version, which includes 4 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 16 GB of eMMC storage. A higher capacity version with 16 GB or 32 GB of storage is priced at $110.

This is the second product in the Jupiter line, following a mini ITX board launched last summer. The Jupiter NX retains the same processor as its predecessor while offering a significantly smaller form factor. Key features include support for WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, alongside various I/O options when paired with a carrier board:

• 2 x Gigabit Ethernet
• 1 x HDMI (1920 x 1440 @ 60 fps)
• 1 x MIPI-DSI 4-lane video
• 1 x MIPI-CSI 4-lane camera input
• 2 x MIPI-CSI 2-lane camera inputs
• 55 x GPIO
• 1 x PCIe Gen 2 x2
• 1 x USB 3 (or PCIe Gen 2 x1)
• 1 x USB 2.0 OTG
• 1 x USB 2.0 Host

In addition to existing carrier boards, Milk-V is developing the Cluster 08 board, which will allow users to combine up to eight Jupiter NX modules on a single baseboard.
