AGX Orin MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board

Overview

The AGX Orin MIPI CSI-2 Bridge Board (P/No: FC-AGX-LGHM) is a multi-interface camera bridge that combines four independent camera interface bridges on a single board — LVDS–MIPI, HDMI–MIPI, 2-channel GMSL, and a native MIPI CSI-2 pass-through.

Together these populate all four 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 camera ports available on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin platform, enabling simultaneous multi-camera capture from mixed camera types on a single Jetson module.

Key Features

Multi-Interface Camera Integration — Integrates LVDS–MIPI CSI-2, HDMI–MIPI CSI-2, 2-channel GMSL3–MIPI CSI-2, and native MIPI CSI-2 interfaces on a single board, fully utilizing all four 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 interfaces on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin.

LVDS Camera Interface

  1. Converts LVDS camera video output to 4-lane MIPI CSI-2.
  2. Independent camera power switch and I²C-to-UART bridge (3.3 V CMOS) for VISCA control, with provision for external onboard UART header for camera control.

HDMI Camera Interface

  1. Converts HDMI camera video output to 4-lane MIPI CSI-2.
  2. Independent camera power switch and I²C-to-UART bridge (3.3 V CMOS) for VISCA control, with provision for external onboard UART header for camera control.

GMSL3 Camera Interface

  1. Onboard GMSL3 de-serializer aggregates two camera links into a single 4-lane CSI-2 output.
  2. Power over Coax (PoC) support.
  3. Backward compatible with GMSL2 cameras.
  4. MATE-AX dual coax connectors with breakout cables to FAKRA.

Native MIPI CSI-2 Interface

  1. Native 22-pin, 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 pass-through connector for direct sensor integration.

Electrical & Protection

  1. Wide-range 12–24 V DC input.
  2. Reverse-voltage and transient-voltage protection.
  3. Power-status LEDs.

Mechanical & Environmental

  1. Compact 84.87 mm × 61.95 mm form factor.
  2. Board weight: 38.4 g.
  3. Operating temperature: –20 °C to +85 °C.
Product Description

A single-board camera integration platform built for the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, engineered to bring every major camera interface — LVDS, HDMI, GMSL3, and native MIPI CSI-2 — onto one design, making full use of all four 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 interfaces the AGX Orin has to offer.

At its core, the board bridges LVDS and HDMI camera video output into 4-lane MIPI CSI-2, giving system integrators a direct path to connect industry-standard block cameras without custom bridging hardware of their own. Both interfaces share a dedicated I²C-to-UART bridge (3.3V CMOS) for VISCA control, with an onboard header available for external camera control when needed. For longer-reach and multi-camera deployments, the board's GMSL3 interface aggregates two independent camera links into a single 4-lane CSI-2 output through an onboard de-serializer. It supports Power over Coax, so camera power and data ride the same cable, and remains backward compatible with GMSL2 cameras — giving flexibility across sensor generations. MATE-AX dual coax connectors, paired with breakout cables to FAKRA, keep cabling clean and serviceable in the field. Rounding out the interface set, a native 22-pin, 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 pass-through connector supports direct integration of MIPI sensors, for applications that don't need format conversion at all.

Built for demanding environments, the board runs on a wide-range 12–24V DC input, with reverse-voltage and transient-voltage protection guarding against field power faults, and power-status LEDs for at-a-glance diagnostics. Its compact 84.87 mm × 61.95 mm footprint and 38.4g weight suit space-constrained embedded enclosures, while a –20°C to +85°C operating range and RoHS compliance support deployment across industrial, defense, and outdoor vision systems.

Ideal for multi-sensor embedded vision systems, UAV and defense payloads, and industrial camera integration projects requiring flexible support for LVDS, HDMI, GMSL3, and native MIPI camera sources on a single Jetson AGX Orin platform.

Functional Description

Each of the four camera inputs is handled by an independent bridge stage and mapped to its own 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 output. All four outputs are carried to the Jetson AGX Orin over the host connector J10.

Port 4J3 — MIPI_CAMNative MIPI CSI-2, 22-pin FPC4-lane MIPI CSI-2 (pass-through)

Camera control for the LVDS and HDMI ports is implemented through independent onboard I²C-to-UART bridges, enabling VISCA control directly from the host processor without additional hardware. The GMSL and native MIPI ports use I²C pass-through to the remote camera or sensor registers.
