TYPICAL INSTALLATION AND USAGE
Software setup
Prior to hardware installation, make sure you have the correct software installed on the Xavier Module.
CTI supports ECON NileCam30 and Leopard IMX390 with our BSP. Installation instructions can be found
at https://connecttech.com/resource-center/kdb373/. All other GMSL and GMSL2 (MIPI) cameras
should work with proper software and firmware configuration as long as the power requirements match
what JCB002 provides. Power to the cameras can be disabled by setting CAM0_PWDN (UART4_CTS) low.
There is a 100k external pull up resistor on this pin, so it is not necessary to configure the pin for always
on operation. If using the NVIDIA Development Kit carrier, GPIO 36 MUST be set as an output and driven
high. This enables the 2.8V power rail which powers the logic levels on the deserializers
JCB002
1.
Ensure all external system power supplies are off.
2.
Install Xavier GMSL Camera Platform on the Rogue Carrier’s MIPI CSI Camera Expansion
Connector.
3.
Install 3x 8mm M2.5 screws (provided).
4.
Make sure S1 is set to the correct GMSL mode for the cameras connected.
5.
Connect camera(s) to miniCoax connector(s).
a.
Optionally connect an external 12V DC power supply to J3.
b.
The external power connector provides unregulated power to the cameras. Do not
exceed 14V on this input.
6.
Switch ON the Power Supply. DO NOT power up your system by plugging in live power.
Note: 10mm M3 extension standoffs are recommended to be added to the 18mm standoffs provided with the Rogue carrier for
clearance.
