Radxa announced the 'Radxa C200 Orin Developer Kit'. Combining a Jetson Orin NX 8GB module with a dedicated IO board, it's a dev kit strongly focused on robotics and industrial edge AI. It highlights 'Max 117 TOPS' via Super mode (MAXN_SUPER), though official docs note performance depends on procedures.
Radxa announced the Radxa C200 Orin Developer Kit. Product info is available on the official page and docs. Combining a Jetson Orin NX 8GB module and a custom IO board, it's a dev kit strongly focused on robotics/industrial edge AI. "Max 117 TOPS" via Super mode (MAXN_SUPER) is a headline feature, but docs explicitly state performance depends on the setup procedure.

117 TOPS-class Jetson Orin NX 8GB on a 100x79mm board with 2x NVMe. Key checks: Discrepancy in DP specs and installation constraints for MAXN_SUPER.
Features
SoC / CPU
Jetson Orin NX 8GB (6-core Cortex-A78AE + Ampere GPU). AI performance listed as Normal 70 TOPS / Super 117 TOPS (INT8 Sparse). Verify if your target power mode can handle your workload throughput. Super Mode (MAXN_SUPER) is uncapped, so thermal throttling is a real risk. Radxa C200 assumes a fan (PWM header included). Case design must ensure airflow.
Docs state MAXN_SUPER requires command-line installation (not Balena Etcher/SDK Manager). If performance is your goal, be ready for CLI setup.
Memory & Storage
8GB LPDDR5 (102GB/s). Prioritizes GPU/DLA bandwidth. 8GB is tight for large LLMs; requires optimization. Storage: 2x NVMe (Gen4 x2/x4). Physically separating OS and Data (or Log/Dataset) is easy. Wireless: Via M.2 E Key. You choose the module to match field RF requirements.
Exterior
100x79mm board. 4x USB-A, RJ45, DP, Power on one side simplifies desk wiring. M.2 (NVMe x2, Wireless x1) and MIPI CSI take up board surface space. Case design needs to account for SSD heat and FPC routing.
Others
Network: 1GbE + PoE header. PoE usage details (HAT/Backpower) not fully detailed on the product page; check docs. Power: DC 9-20V. Fits 12V/19V field power. USB-C is for data/recovery, not primary power. MicroSD: No slot on C200 module for production. NVIDIA SD images require kernel patching (EDK2). Don't assume "MicroSD boot like Jetson Nano DevKit". Supply: Guaranteed until at least Nov 2030 (PDF). Good for industrial planning.
Summary
Radxa C200 Orin Developer Kit puts Jetson Orin NX 8GB on a small board with dual NVMe and field-ready I/O (GPIO/CSI/CAN/PoE). Suited for: Fastest prototyping of Robotics/Surveillance/Industrial inference with JetPack. Not suited for: Casual "SD card boot" trialing (MicroSD support is tricky).
Verify the DP spec discrepancy and MAXN_SUPER setup requirements. It's for those who can handle the "Procedure + Firmware + Thermal" trio.
