Holybro Pixhawk 6X with Jetson Baseboard Overview
The Holybro Pixhawk 6X with Jetson Baseboard combines the Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) standard with the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX/Nano Carrier Board. This integration makes it a powerful platform for advanced autonomous drone applications. The PAB form factor ensures seamless compatibility with other PAB-compliant flight controllers such as Pixhawk 6X.
This setup is perfect for developers and UAV integrators looking to leverage Jetson’s AI capabilities alongside the proven Pixhawk flight control ecosystem.

Jetson Baseboard Power & Requirements
-
Input Power: XT30, 7V-24V (3S-4S)
-
Integrated UBEC: Converts 7V-24V to 5.5V for Jetson
-
External UBEC: Recommended above 4S for redundancy
-
Power Consumption: Minimum 8V/3A (depends on peripherals)
–Tip: Using an external UBEC alongside the integrated one ensures redundancy and easier maintenance if a BEC fails.
