New Jetson SerDes Sensor Interface Card Comes with MIPI CSI-2 Input
Press Release Summary:
The Jetson™ SerDes Sensor Interface Card is designed for use with NVIDIA Jetson Xavier™ and Jetson TX1/TX2 Developer Kits. The units allow engineers to interface multiple cameras and sensors to Jetson platform. It comes with FPD-Link™ III and GMSL2 SerDes standards. The sensor streams are offered with over a serial link and can be de-serialized into MIPI CSI-2 data. The interface card features GPIO and I2C controls that can be used for configuration, synchronization and reset.
Original Press Release:
DesignCore® Jetson SerDes Sensor Interface Card Supports NVIDIA Jetson Xavier™ and Jetson TX1/TX2 Developer Kits
Engineers can easily interface multiple cameras and other sensors to the Jetson platform for realistic benchtop evaluation and rapid proof-of-concept development
Rochester, NY – Sept. 20, 2018 – D3 Engineering announces its DesignCore® NVIDIA® Jetson™ SerDes Sensor Interface Card for the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier™ and Jetson TX1/TX2 Developer Kits. Engineers can use the card to easily interface multiple cameras and other sensors to the Jetson platform for realistic benchtop evaluation and rapid proof-of-concept development.
The two most popular SerDes standards are both available on this card: FPD-Link™ III from Texas Instruments and GMSL2 from Maxim Integrated. Each sensor stream comes in over a serial link and is de-serialized into MIPI CSI-2 data for the Jetson Developer Kit. A MIPI CSI-2 input enables direct connection to the Jetson platform.
GPIO and I2C control are available for configuration, synchronization and reset. The card takes a 12V external supply and has a power-over-coax connection.
