How do the TARX T-7 Jetson Thor Edge AI Computer and Anvil-T5 Edge System with NVIDIA Jetson Thor (ESG625) compare on power input, GMSL inputs and Ethernet ports?

Question

Rapidflare · Accepted Answer

Here's how the two systems compare on the three attributes you asked about:

| Attribute | TARX T-7 Jetson Thor Edge AI Computer | Anvil-T5 Edge System with NVIDIA Jetson Thor (ESG625) |
|---|---|---|
| **Power input** | 10–36 V DC (with ACC support on the evaluated OEM baseline) | +36 V to +60 V DC wide input (6-Pin Mini-Fit Jr. connector) |
| **GMSL camera inputs** | 8 (GMSL2) | 8 (via a 16-lane MIPI expansion that also supports FPD-Link III and SDI cameras) |
| **Ethernet ports** | 4 (up to four M12 10GbE ports) | 4 (2x 10GbE plus 2x 1GbE) |

Key differences:

- **Power input:** The TARX T-7 runs on a much lower voltage range (10–36 V), which suits battery- and vehicle-powered robotics deployments, while the Anvil-T5 requires a high-voltage supply (36–60 V DC) — their input ranges don't overlap, so your power budget/vehicle electrical system determines which one fits.
- **GMSL inputs:** Both support 8 GMSL camera inputs, so this is a tie on count; the Anvil-T5's camera expansion is also stated to handle FPD-Link III and SDI cameras.
- **Ethernet:** Both have 4 ports total with 10GbE capability, but the Anvil-T5 explicitly splits them as 2x 10GbE + 2x 1GbE, while the TARX T-7 lists up to four 10GbE M12 ports (PoE listed with an optional PoE capability on the T-7).
