On the software side of thing, it’s the usual story for Jetson hardware with support for the Ubuntu-based NVIDIA JetPack, CUDA-X software stack with NVIDIA DeepStream and the Transfer Learning Toolkit for intelligent video analytics, NVIDIA Clara for healthcare imaging, genomics, and patient monitoring, as well as NVIDIA Isaac for robotics.
While the board joins other Jetson Xavier NX/Nano carrier boards, the company has taken a different approach, as you’ll notice the complete lack of MIPI CSI camera interfaces, and the 10 serial ports and three M.2 sockets make it a Jetson Nano carrier board that’s a bit unusual. It’s possible to connect up to four cameras through the USB 3.0 ports.
Geniatech says the board is suitable for entry-level Network video recorders (NVR), home robots, and intelligent gateways with full analytics capabilities. The Geniatech NVJ100AI/NVJ100AIX boards are available now, but contrary to the just-launched Geniatech XPI-iMX8MM SBC, are not sold through Geniatech’s online store, and you’d have to contact them through the product page for a volume quote.

Looks pricey.
Are they using a PCIe switch? How do the three M.2 sockets work? nVidia’s Jetson Modules page says the Jetson nano has 1 x4 (PCIe Gen2) and the Xavier NX has 1×1 (PCIe Gen3, Root Port) + 1×4 (PCIe Gen4, Root Port & Endpoint).
That would most likely be the Microchip chip on the bottom of the board. So the answer to your question is yes, they’re splitting the x4 interface into four x1 interfaces.
