Camera Interfaces

Maxim Integrated GMSL SERDES

The NVIDIA DRIVE® AGX Orin platform (P3710) provides GMSL camera interfaces. The GMSL camera interfaces:

• Provide 16 simultaneous GMSL camera inputs.
  Note:

  The actual number of camera outputs supported depends on the resolution of the camera output, frame rate of the output, and power mode (specifically the Video Input (VI) and ISP HW clocks).

• Route camera data to either SoC.
• SoC generates a TSC_EDGE_OUT signal on a GPIO pin that is connected to all deserializers. This common PWM signal is then forwarded to all 16 GMSL cameras to achieve frame synchronization.

For information on the connectors, see the rear view board image in Setting Up Your Platform.

TI FPD-Link SERDES Support

Initial support for TI FPD-Link IV SERDES links was added in DRIVE OS 6.0.6.0, with the driver and source for the DS90UB9724 deserializer provided in conjunction with the DS90UB971 serializer. This is available in SIPL, with the P3714-B00 FPDLINK CIM. Driver and configuration support for the IMX728 FPD-Link camera module using the DS90UB971 serializer is also available.
