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.
