add-thor-carrier
ACTIVE BUILD
Why
The lab brick and the production SOM are different envelopes, rails, and NVENC counts. Buying the wrong one locks the carrier and the enclosure.
What
- Lab: AGX Thor Developer Kit = T5000 module
- Production ceiling: T4000 SOM if HEVC hybrid still fits
- Capability:
hardware-kit
Impact
- Capabilities: ADDED carrier requirements
- ADRs: none
User journey & surfaces
No new UI because this is the compute module and its carrier.
Out of scope
- Sensor SKUs (
add-sensor-lens-kit) - Resin lid (
add-thor-enclosure)
