Image Bringup Overview

This guide covers the complete bringup process for the AGX Orin MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board using a pre-built L4T Oppila image. Unlike the manual driver integration workflow, this path uses a ready-to-flash image that already includes the required drivers, device tree, and all configurations for the four camera ports.

Note

A single procedure applies to all — LVDS–MIPI, HDMI–MIPI, 2-channel GMSL, and the straight MIPI CSI-2 pass-through. Ports without a camera attached are simply not enumerated.

System Architecture
1
Host PC

Host PC running Ubuntu 22.04 connects to the Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit via USB Type-C for flashing.

2
Cameras

Cameras are connected to their matching bridge ports — LVDS to J9, HDMI FCB to J4, GMSL links to J5, and any native MIPI sensor to J3.

3
Protocol conversion

Each bridge stage converts its input to MIPI CSI-2 and streams it to the Jetson AGX Orin over the J10 host connector.

4
GStreamer pipeline

Jetson exposes each active camera as a V4L2 device. GStreamer reads the streams and renders the video output.
