4GB vs 2GB

Comparison between Jetson Nano 2GB and Jetson Nano 4GB

ARMv8, ARMv9

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture_family
  • ARMv8 is an ARM instruction set architecture announced in 2011. It brought a large number of fundamental changes to the instruction set, including the introduction of 64-bit operating capabilities. ARMv8 architecture uses two execution states, AArch32 and AArch64. As the names imply, one is for running 32-bit code and one for 64-bit.
  • After ARMv8, which was introduced in 2011, ARM introduced ARMv9 architecture.
  • According to ARM, some of the major new features of the ARMv9-A architecture include Realm Management Extension (RME) and Embedded Trace Extension (ETE) and Trace Buffer Extension (TRBE).
  • Apple M1 chip or M2 chip is based on ARMv8.5-A instruction set architecture.

ffmeg

FFmpeg can be used to play 4K video on the Jetson Nano. The Jetson-FFMpeg project allows you to use FFmpeg on the Jetson Nano via the L4T Multimedia API, supporting hardware-accelerated encoding of H.264 and HEVC.

However, it's important to note that the Jetson Nano doesn't need to use GPU for hardware decoding MPEG2, H.264/AVC, HEVC, VP8 and VP9. These formats are decoded by a specific video hardware decoder (NVDEC) that can be accessed by the L4T Multimedia API².

Here is an example command to play a 4K video using FFmpeg on the Jetson Nano: 

ffplay -vcodec h264_nvmpi -i vid.mp4
ffplay -vcodec hevc_nvmpi -i vid.mp4

The `hevc_nvmpi` and `h264_nvmpi` are both hardware-accelerated video encoders provided by NVIDIA, but they are used for different video codecs¹.

  • h264_nvmpi: This is the NVIDIA hardware-assisted H.264 video encoder. H.264, also known as AVC (Advanced Video Coding), is a standard for video compression that is most commonly used to encode high definition video and distribute digital video content²⁵.
  • `hevc_nvmpi`: This encoder is used for the H.265 video codec, also known as HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding). HEVC is a more recent video compression standard that provides a more efficient compression method than H.264 but with the same level of image quality. It's particularly useful for streaming 4K content over networks like Netflix.
  • In terms of quality and performance, libx264 (a software-based H.264 encoder) might deliver better quality than `h264_nvmpi` for the same bitrate, but `h264_nvmpi` is probably faster and uses less power. The same could be true when comparing a software-based HEVC encoder with `hevc_nvmpi`.
