Evidence classes

Every carrier, system, developer kit and host SBC

All 36 rows. CSI is MIPI CSI camera connectors; GbE totals every wired Ethernet speed; PoE shows PSE output ports and/or PD input. Evidence badge: the strongest source class backing the row.

Research gaps

Facts this pass could not confirm with a verbatim vendor quote — treated as "not stated" on the affected rows rather than guessed.

• NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit: operating temperature range, exact onboard USB port count/type, and camera CSI connector count on the reference carrier were not confirmed with a verbatim source quote (carrier board spec PDF still not fetchable).
• NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit: operating temperature range and camera/CSI port count on the reference carrier were not confirmed; jetson_thor_t4000 compatibility with this specific developer kit board was not independently verified.
• Seeed reComputer J3010/J3011/J4011: exact DC power-brick input voltage/wattage was not found with a verbatim quote for the base (non-industrial) SKUs. A separate 'reComputer Industrial J4011' product exists with its own -20 to 60C / 12-24V terminal-block spec, but that does not necessarily apply to the base J4011 in this dataset and was not merged in to avoid misattribution — a Seeed 'Industrial J4011' row could be added in a follow-up pass if prioritized.
• Seeed reComputer J4012, reComputer Industrial J4012: operating temperature range still not found with a verbatim quote.
• Auvidea JNX45: operating temperature range and USD price not found (only a EUR price range, €745.70-€1,113.70, was located).
• Auvidea X230D: manual PDF used for the temperature quote is titled 'X230D' but its internal headers/tables read 'X221D' — flagged as a possible reused/mislabeled Auvidea template; treat the -25 to 70C figure with that caveat. X230 (non-D variant) still not separately confirmed.
• Waveshare JETSON-ORIN-IO-BASE and JETSON-ORIN-IO-BASE-B: operating temperature range not found; only EUR/INR reseller prices located, no USD listing; Waveshare's own product/wiki pages continue to return HTTP 403 to automated fetch, so all specs for both rows rely on reseller pages (no class-A vendor quote obtained for IO-BASE-B).
• Leetop A603: USD price not found with a verbatim quote (only INR reseller prices and an unverified Alibaba search snippet).
• Leetop A203 and A205 carrier boards exist (leetopgroup.com / leetop.cn) but were not catalogued: A203 supports only pre-Orin Jetson modules (Nano/Xavier NX/TX2 NX) with no matching module id in this registry; A205 adds Orin NX support but its data quality (no confirmed temp, price, or dimensions) fell below the bar to include within this pass's 6-new-row budget.
• Turing Pi 2: operating temperature range not found (official docs cover cooling/thermal-throttling guidance but no numeric spec).
• Advantech AIR-030: whether the enclosure is fanless (vs. relying on the quoted 0.7 m/s forced airflow rating) was not confirmed with an explicit quote — left null; USD price not listed (quote-only vendor).
• Aetina AIE-CO21, Yahboom Jetson carrier board: USD price found for Yahboom ($129) but not for Aetina AIE-CO21 (quote-only vendor).
• Forecr DSBOARD-AGX: only a EUR price (€524.00, carrier only) was found, not USD.
• Connect Tech Boson-22 and Forge both reference an available fan/heatsink option (PWM fan header on Boson; active or passive heat-sink SKUs on Forge) that does not clearly confirm or contradict this dataset's existing 'fanless'/'fan_included' flags — left unchanged pending a clearer vendor statement.
• Connect Tech's 'Rudi-AGX' product name is confirmed to exist, but only for the (EOL) Jetson AGX Xavier module, not AGX Orin/Thor — not added as a row since no matching module id exists in this registry for that module family.
• Raspberry Pi 5 (host board for AI HAT+): operating temperature range not found with an authoritative datasheet/product-brief quote; only an informal Raspberry Pi Ltd forum post about the crystal oscillator's temperature tolerance was located, which was judged too indirect to use for the board's rated operating range.
• Radxa ROCK 5B: operating temperature sourced from a third-party spec aggregator (Wevolver), not Radxa's own docs — Radxa's own site did not surface a fetchable temperature figure.
• Orange Pi 5 Plus: operating temperature range not found (orangepi.org was unreachable in this pass); the $390 (16GB) price from OrangePi.net conflicts sharply with lower street prices cited by third-party reviewers — unresolved discrepancy.
• Google Coral Dev Board: operating temperature range not found (datasheet PDFs returned unreadable/binary content, RS Online blocked); price reflects an Adafruit clearance/sale listing consistent with the board's discontinued/limited-availability status, not a stable list price.
