DesignCore® NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX 8-Camera GMSL2 Carrier Board

Perform AI at the Edge with the world’s smallest AI supercomputer and D3 cameras & sensors

Interface up to 8 GMSL2 cameras with Jetson Orin NX for performance-critical AI applications.

This carrier board allows users to quickly interface and develop solutions with multiple cameras or sensors using the Jetson Orin NX module.

Take advantage of the exceptional compute power and compact size of the Jetson Orin NX by combining up to 8 input data streams via the GMSL2 interface.

Each sensor stream is received over a serial link and deserialized into CSI-2 data for processing on the Orin NX module. Connected sensors can be synchronized by programming the GMSL2 deserializers.

The carrier board also includes other peripherals and expansion connectors essential for Edge AI applications. The on-board peripherals include USB3, Gigabit Ethernet, and HDMI. A 10Gb Ethernet interface is also available for high-speed data transfer. M.2 Key M and E expansion slots are available for NVMe (a 500 GB NVMe drive is included) and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/LTE. An additional expansion header provides access to additional PCIe, USB, SPI, I2C, and DisplayPort interfaces.

All external connectors are IP67 rated, making the carrier board suitable for sealed enclosures and use in harsh environments. The carrier board is also compatible with the
Orin Nano and Xavier NX modules.

Interface up to 8 GMSL2 cameras with the Jetson Orin NX module for demanding, high-performance AI applications. Sensor data is delivered via GMSL2 and deserialized into MIPI CSI-2 data for processing on the Jetson Orin NX module. Use this carrier board for benchtop evaluation, rapid prototyping, or production deployments.

One 1-to-4 HFM-to-individual-FAKRA breakout whip cable is included in the kit and supports up to 4x cameras. See the available options for additional units. Supports Jetpack 6.0 G

Development services

Purchasing a DesignCore® kit gives you a licence to evaluate the technology and use it as a product development platform. Our Design Services team can help reduce risk and accelerate time to market by using DesignCore platforms as reference designs for your product development.

We can also help you integrate a DesignCore design directly into your product for a licence fee. Finally, we can supply part or all of your final system as original design manufacturer (ODM) products. DesignCore kits can be used to evaluate these ODM products.
