Bela and Jetson Nano?

anteater

Hello,

I'm interested in potentially using a Bela Mini in conjunction with a Jetson Nano (likely a Orin NX or something similar). I have two questions about doing this:
1) Can the Jetson power the Bela via the USB? My concern would be if the Jetson could likely supply enough current for the Bela from the USB, but I'm not totally sure how much I could expect the Bela Mini (probably with the Multichannel Expander too) to draw. Also, I would worry about the power supply not being very clean and introducing noise.

2) Can the Bela send MIDI out via this USB to the Jetson?
Thank you!

1) I think so? It needs some 400 mA, which is well below what most USB ports provide. The Jetson itself is pretty power hungry, so I would expect it to also have significant spare power available for accessories.
2) yes, MIDI interface hw:0,0,0 on the Bela side is the one that goes via USB to the host.
