It’s been a while, but the supply chain issues are now behind us. The Jetson Developer Kit is back!
The price has been bumped up to $149, and is available in the United States immediately (Black Friday marks the sales kickoff). The rest of the world roll out is in early December. It looks like the roll out may take a few hours. Will update when the rest of the links go live.
Through the usual sale outlets, natch:
International:
You’ll need the assorted bevy of supplies, such as SD cards and such. Here’s a link to the JetsonHacks Amazon Store. There you will find a whole bunch of goodies to help with your projects. Here’s a sample:
- PKNY 64 GB SD Cards (pack of 3)
- 4A 5V Power Supply (The Jetson Nano requires a 2.1mm inner diameter barrel jack)
- WiFi card
- Raspberry Pi v2 camera
There are also a bunch of different cases and a couple of robots for the Nano on the storefront, so take a look!
If you’re reading this on Black Friday, there are a whole bunch of deals. Go over to the JetsonHacks Amazon Store and look around all of the different sections. You can use that as a starting point to help you get started on your next Jetson project.

Thanks for the heads-up. FYI, be VERY careful ordering from Seeed or any other China-based distributor as you might be charged for import duties. I don’t know all the variables, but we ordered a Xavier-based kit from them last year during the crunch time and got charged 30% import duties. So for an $850 system, after sales tax, shipping and import duties (billed through DHL…package held ransom until you pay), we paid a total of $1300. Again, FYI.
That’s a very good point. Some companies (like Seeed) have US warehouses so that may not happen when shipping to the US. However when a product is shipping from China import duties may apply. New products tend to ship from China first from distributors based there. I am not a fan of international logistics, shipping and duties.
Does your GPIO library you have for the TX1 that I use work for the Nano?
It should, though it will depend on what you are doing. You’ll have to look at the pinout for the Nano vs TX1.
This is great news!
Thanks for all that you do! I probably would have given up on the Jetson if your helpful how-to articles were not available.
Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for reading!
