I Guys,

I bought d435i beause of couriosity.

After Testing with my Desktop Computer I' now wondering, which board is best for Programming the realsense.

Thoughts for Future projects are Autosteering of lawnmower etc.

So Guys, which hardware do you recomment?

Thanks a lot.

Manuel

Hi Manuelkbeu If you are prototyping robotics and AI and prefer not to commit a lot of money upfront, the Nvidia Jetson Nano or the Raspberry Pi Model 4B would be good choices that are well-established in RealSense projects, with a lot of existing technical references, and also have a small board size.

Hei MartyG,

that sounds super.

I used Raspberry Pi already in other projects but I'm open for other platforms.

What are the advantages of Jetson Nano regarding realsense compared to Raspberry Pi?

Jetson boards and Raspberry Pi both use Arm processors, so they are similar in that respect. Jetsons have the added advantage of an Nvidia graphics GPU that is provided with CUDA support by librealsense. This can be used for accelerating color conversion, depth / color alignment and point cloud operations.

Although Pi's lack CUDA support because they do not have Nvidia GPUs, the RealSense SDK does support an alternative form of offloading processing from the CPU to the GPU that is called GLSL. This is vendor-neutral and can work with any GPU brand, though performance improvements from it may not be noticable on low-end computing devices.

Use of Pi and Jetson boards with RealSense is fairly even, so either platform should be a good choice.
