NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin

Product Overview

This product is a GMSL-to-MIPI signal bridge kit designed specifically for the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin developer platform. It supports up to 8 channels of GMSL 1/2 camera input, expandable to 16 channels, fully meeting the needs of vision systems across autonomous driving, robotics, and intelligent manufacturing.

The adapter kit uses a main-board plus daughtercard split design that flexibly accommodates multiple deserializer chip types. For time synchronization, combined with ALG Tech’s proprietary GPS timing sync box, it achieves external sync triggering with microsecond-level precision — a solid foundation for high-precision visual perception and data processing.

ALG Tech provides driver support for the kit on Jetson ORIN devices. Paired with ALG Tech automotive camera modules, no additional driver development is required. The driver framework supports the standard Linux V4L2 protocol and is compatible with the latest JetPack releases.

Key Features

  • Multi-Channel Input

    Up to 8 channels of GMSL 1/2 camera input for parallel multi-camera capture; expandable to 16 channels on demand for more complex system integration.

  • Modular Hardware Design

    ALG Tech’s proprietary split-board architecture supports multiple deserializer chips (MAX9296, 96718, 96712, 96722, and more) that can be swapped flexibly. Customization services extend support to FPD-Link III/IV and other transport protocols.

  • Efficient System Integration

    Complete driver adaptation and camera configuration sequences for ALG Tech cameras, supporting the V4L2 protocol. The driver framework is also compatible with other vendors’ camera models — flexible and universal, boosting development efficiency.

  • High-Precision Synchronization

    Internal and external sync modes keep exposure triggering consistent across channels. CAN bus external timing is supported; combined with the GPS timing sync box, microsecond-precision triggering meets the most demanding timing-control scenarios.

  • Powerful Power Delivery

    12 V/1A per channel with up to 96 W total capacity, keeping high-power devices running stably.

  • Thermal and Structural Optimization

    Side cable-exit design improves assembly convenience and wiring tidiness. Thermal design is optimized for high-power operation, ensuring long-term stable running.
