The complete development kit includes Jetson TK1 development board (Model PM375), an AC adapter with power cord, a USB Micro-B to USB A adapter, and a Quick Start Guide.
The company provides Linux for Tegra K1, CUDA Toolkit and Accelerated Libraries (CUDA 6.0 / OpenCV4Tegra), CUDA sample code, as well as the board specifications, schematics (PDF) and mechanical design files (STP). All of which can be accessed via the board support page. The Linux kernel version is 3.10.24, and comes with support for OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenGL ES 1.1, OpenGL ES path extensions, EGL 1.4 with EGLImage media APIs, and X11 Support. Nvidia also provides support for OpenGL 4.4.
The development kit is available for pre-order for $192 via Nvidia’s developer Jetson TK1 page. Shipping is scheduled for April. The downside is that it will only ship to the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. if you live in Europe, you can preorder from Avionic Design, SECO and Zotac, in Japan, you can go through Ryoyo Electro Corporation.
