AUVIDEA JNX30-LC compatibility

[jseinturier]

Hello,

I've two question:

1. is the Alvium Jetson driver is compatible with the AUVIDEA JNX30-LC board (this card is a Low Cost version of the JNX30-PD board that is listed within the driver compatibility)

2. Is the AUVIDEA JNX30-PD / the AGX ORIN Developer Kit can be used with AVT ALVIUM cameras without the AVT camera adapter board ?

Thanks a lot.

Hello,

1. We do have a beta version driver for this board and a working setup togetehr with the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX, but it can't be uploaded to github yet. Please contact [email protected] for the preliminary driver version.

2. The Auvidea JNX30-PD can be used with a cable that switches the I2C lanes, as long as there are 5V for power suppy of the camera. The NVIDIA Orin Dev-Kit carrier board needs an AVT adapter board.

Hope that helps,
Teresa

Edit: Corrected mistake about Auvidea carrier board, it needs an adapter or a specific cable that switches SCL and SDA (as long as 5V are supplied through CSI-2)

Thanks for the answer,

do you how to dispatch hardware triggering to an AVT Alvium 1800C camera when it is used with the AUVIDEA JNX30-PD board ? Is the JNX30-PD have a GPIO entry for triggering ?

Hello,
first of all, some corrections about the Auvidea carrier board and adapter in my last post, in case you didn't see it.
Regarding the hardware trigger: The Alvium 1800C cameras have 2 GPIOS that can be used for HW triggering. We have only verified the hardware trigger with the NVIDIA developer kits mentioned in the CSI Camera User Guide, where the adapter boards have pins to access the cameras GPIOs.
The adapter board for the Auvidea carrier board does not have access pins. The board itself has a PWM output on pin 6 of the CSI-Interface, which is one of the two GPIOs from the camera. I don't have any information on the GPIO inputs on the board for directly triggering the camera unfortunately.
Hope that helps,
Teresa
