Arch Linux–based in-car platform for the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano.
Projects a custom Linux interface to the vehicle head unit, integrates SDR radar detection, OBD telemetry, cameras, GPS from hotspot, and optional AI agents for an open, extensible automotive dashboard.
- Custom Arch Linux interface projected to car head unit via USB gadget bridge
- SDR-based radar detection with DSP (X, K, Ka, POP, Laser support planned)
- OBD-II telemetry via OBDLink MX+
- Multi-camera support with Jetson hardware acceleration
- GPS and internet integration using iPhone hotspot
- AI/LLM integration for local reasoning and adaptive dashboard behavior
- NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 8GB + NVMe SSD
- Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (USB gadget bridge)
- SDRs: USRP B200/B210 or HackRF + RFbeam modules / downconverters
- OBDLink MX+ for vehicle telemetry
- USB/CSI cameras
- iPhone hotspot for GPS + internet
- Flash Jetson with NVIDIA Jetson Linux BSP.
- Replace root filesystem with Arch Linux ARM.
- Clone this repo onto your Jetson.
- Follow the Install Guide
