The ADRD4161-01Z is a robotics perception embedded compute carrier board designed for platforms such as Raspberry Pi 5 and Nvidia Jetson/Orin/AGX, featuring the Raspberry Pi 40-pin header. It provides isolated power supplies and a number of connectivity options: ADI IMU, CAN 2.0B, UART, GPIOs, and two SPDT relays.

Its isolated DC-DC converter can be powered from 9-70 V DC, which it then converts to 12 V (3 A limit) system voltage and 5 V (5 A limit) for the Raspberry Pi and power-hungry USB peripherals. 14-pin and 16-pin IMU connectors allow for plug-and-play interoperability with compatible IMU modules in the ADIS16xxx series.

Specifications

• Isolated 9-70 V DC input

• Isolated power supply provides 12 V 3 A and 5 V 5 A

• Raspberry Pi 40-pin header

• IMU connectors compatible with 14-pin and 16-pin ADIS16xxx IMU modules

• Isolated CAN 2.0B controller, with slcan adapter firmware out of the box

• 2x SPDT relays, 1 A

Supporting hardware:

• MAX32662 Arm Cortex-M4 Processor with FPU-Based Microcontroller (MCU) with 256KB Flash and 80KB SRAM

• ADM3053 Signal and Power Isolated CAN Transceiver with Integrated Isolated DC-to-DC Converter

• ADIS16xxx series IMU modules (e.g. ADIS16470, ADIS16475)

Connections:

• Power input: 9-70 V DC screw terminal

• Compute header: Raspberry Pi 40-pin

• IMU: 14-pin and 16-pin connectors (ADIS16xxx compatible)

• CAN, isolated: Custom connector (directly on MCU via slcan)

• UART: Header P7 (UART4 + switchable 5 V)

• GPIOs: Header P10

• Relays: Header P12 (2x SPDT, 1 A)

• Programming/debugging: SWD via solder jumpers

Required Hardware

• ADRD4161-01Z

• Raspberry Pi 5 (or compatible embedded compute platform with 40-pin header)

• Compatible ADIS16xxx IMU module (optional)

• DC power supply (9-70 V DC)

• MicroSD card with Raspberry Pi OS

To debug/reprogram the onboard MCU, you will need a MAXDAP compatible debug probe, such as the MAX32625PICO.

System Setup

The module comes with slcan firmware flashed on the MAX32662 MCU.

To set the system up:

• Mount the Raspberry Pi 5 onto the 40-pin header

• Connect an ADIS16xxx IMU module (optional)

• Connect the CAN bus cable (if using CAN communication)

• Connect the 9-70 V DC power supply

Configuration of device tree overlays is required before using the IMU and CAN interfaces. See the ADRD4161-01Z Quick Start Guide for initial setup instructions.
