Camera Interfaces

Maxim Integrated GMSL SERDES

The NVIDIA DRIVE® AGX Thor platform (P3960) 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 hardware 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 FSYNC signal is then forwarded to all 16 GMSL cameras to achieve frame synchronization.

TI FPD-Link SERDES Support

Initial support for TI FPD-Link IV SERDES links was added in DriveOS 7.0.6.0, 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.
