Yup. Title. I’m gonna have to learn how to use confluence.

Communication with Jetson vs SPI/CAN/ETC/WHATEVER WE WANT

  • needs much more research.

  • need to confirm what data is being transferred. Is the camera module being handled by the jetson entirely? are we just getting position from cv? what’s the plan……

Some quick links

RTOS (zp) on Jetson?

CV on RTOS?

  • might have issues ← come back to this.

RPi vs Jetson
