Image Bringup Overview

This guide covers the complete bringup process for the LVDS–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 driver, device tree, and all configurations.

System Architecture

System Architecture

1

Host PC

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

2

LVDS video capture

Sony EV9520L outputs raw video over the LVDS interface to the bridge board.

3

Protocol conversion

Bridge board converts LVDS to MIPI CSI-2 and streams it to the Jetson Orin.

4

GStreamer pipeline

Jetson exposes the camera as a V4L2 device. GStreamer reads the stream and renders the video output.
