Image Bringup Overview

This guide covers the complete bringup process for the PAL–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.

Note

The setup procedure applies to analog PAL/NTSC CVBS cameras connected via composite video input.

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

Analog Camera

Analog PAL/NTSC camera outputs composite video (CVBS) to the Bridge board.

3

Protocol conversion

Bridge board converts PAL/NTSC analog video 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.
