(1) - In addition to storage on the compute module
(2) - 1x CANBus controller&transceiver provided on carrier board, flight controller is also on this CANBus. For Jetson Xavier NX the CAN controller embedded on the module is connected to an additional transceiver, providing an additional CANBus connection for this module.
(3) - Follows the Pixhawk connector standard DS-009: https://github.com/pixhawk/Pixhawk-Standards/blob/master/DS-009%20Pixhawk%20Connector%20Standard.pdf
(4) - Can be used to send out WiFi beacon frames to comply with French drone law (REFREFRED). Firmware can be updated through compute module
