IB-0100
The 6-Channel MIPI interface module allows you to connect up to 6 MIPI cameras.
Description
The IB-0100 allows you to connect up to 6 MIPI cameras to the BLOX device.
The maximum number of cameras depends on the Jetson Module:
- Jetson Nano: up to 3 cameras
- Jetson TX2 NX and the Jetson Xavier NX: up to 6 cameras
The module also has a USB3.0 port to connect USB devices like an SSD drive or keyboard/mouse.
Camera support
The module currently supports the IMX219 camera.
If you need another camera, contact us at support and we will happily check whether we can provide a driver.
Block diagram
The above diagram shows the block diagram of the interface module.
There is a USB3.0 port that can be used to connect USB devices like an SSD drive or keyboard/mouse.
There are in total 6 FPC connectors for connecting the cameras. Each camera has it’s own 2-lane MIPI channel and is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 15 pin camera connector.
Connections
CAM 0 to CAM 5 port
The connector type used on the module is the 1-1734248-5 connector from TE Connectivity.
The connector is pin compatible with the Raspbery Pi camera connector.
