WOLF-14T0
Overview
Secure SOSA-Aligned Orin SBC with ConnectX-7 and FGX2
The VPX3U-ORIN-CX7-FGX2-SBC module meets the needs of demanding C5ISR applications, providing a secure compute node with advanced AI and HPC processing capabilities, high data transfer rates, and the cyber security features required to ensure data is being protected. This autonomous SOSA aligned module includes an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Industrial, an NVIDIA ConnectX-7 SmartNIC, and a WOLF FGX2 which provides support for video formats that are not native to the Orin SoC.
The NVIDIA Orin’s embedded Ampere GPU provides the CUDA cores and Tensor cores for data processing, deep learning inference, machine vision, audio processing and video encoding/decoding.
The NVIDIA ConnectX-7 SmartNIC provides secure, high-speed network data transfer and a configurable PCIe switch. ConnectX-7 meets the high data transfer and security requirements for C5ISR tasks. It also provides support for RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and support for NVIDIA GPUDirect, enabling the fastest method to transfer data across a network to the GPU.

FAQ
Choose WOLF-14T0 when you need an Orin SBC with both high-speed networking and non-native video I/O.
WOLF-14T0 is typically selected when:
- You need SDI input/output integrated (via FGX2)
- You want ConnectX-7 for high-speed Ethernet, RoCE, and offloads
- You need a single module that covers compute + networking + mission video I/O
If you do not need SDI/CVBS video I/O, WOLF-14T5 is usually the simpler SBC choice.
FGX2 is the bridge for video formats that are not native to the Orin SoC.
Architecturally, it enables:
- SDI-class ingest into the compute pipeline
- SDI-class egress of processed video
- A cleaner system design when mission video I/O must live on the SBC rather than on a separate I/O payload
This matters most when you want to reduce slot count and keep the video pipeline tightly coupled to the compute node.
Confirm these early for smooth platform integration:
- SBC slot profile: SOSA-aligned 14.2.16
- Storage expectations: includes NVMe (1TB) and a SATA Gen2 interface for expansion
- Video I/O expectations: SDI I/O via FGX2, DP/HDMI output via configuration, optional CVBS
- Network planes: ensure the backplane supports the intended Ethernet plane mapping
Treat this as an SBC + networking + video-I/O integration exercise, not just a compute-card selection.
Key ordering-time decisions generally map to integration fit:
- Display output configuration: DP MST vs HDMI (as configured)
- Network configuration: plane mapping and port presentation
- PCIe configuration: uplink width and topology alignment
- Power threshold and ruggedization options: match chassis thermal headroom and deployment requirements
