Nvidia accelerates end-of-life for some Jetson AI processors due to memory shortages — RAMpocalypse sends older DDR4-based modules to the great scrapheap in the sky

Nvidia Jetson.

If you're building projects based on Nvidia Jetson modules, don't panic; it's fairly likely that you're working with the newer Orin and Thor modules. If, however, your project is based around the older Xavier or TX2 boards, then we have some bad news: Nvidia has apparently brought forward its EOL timelines for those families of Jetson products due to the RAMpocalypse making LPDDR4 harder to get. That's according to Connect Tech, a Canadian supplier and system integrator for AI systems that says Nvidia has moved these devices to Non-Cancelable, Non-Returnable (NCNR) status due to the change. (Shout out to CNX Software for spotting this.)

The specific devices affected at Connect Tech are the Jetson TX2 NX, the Jetson TX2i (all SKUs), the Jetson AGX Xavier 32GB Industrial variant, and the Jetson Xavier NX in 8GB and 16GB versions, but the supplier actually says that Nvidia has marked all TX2 and Xavier models as NCNR on its side. It also says that final purchase orders for those modules must be in by July 1st, existing purchase orders convert to NCNR on July 15th, and the last time it will ship any orders featuring those products is July 15th next year.
