The device provides two MIPI CSI-2 camera interfaces, CSI0 and CSI1. Each CSI interface supports a 2-data-lane camera. Observe the cable orientation when inserting the ribbon cable (see the figure below). The connector is rated for 30 insertion/removal cycles, so avoid frequent reconnection. The connector is fragile; handle it carefully. The pin definition is shown below.
| Pin Interface | CSI0 | CSI1 |
|---|---|---|
| PIN1 | GND | GND |
| PIN2 | D0- | D0- |
| PIN3 | D0+ | D0+ |
| PIN4 | GND | GND |
| PIN5 | D1- | D1- |
| PIN6 | D1+ | D1- |
| PIN7 | GND | GND |
| PIN8 | CLK- | CLK- |
| PIN9 | CLK+ | CLK+ |
| PIN10 | GND | GND |
| PIN11 | PWDN | PWDN |
| PIN12 | MCLK | MCLK |
| PIN13 | SCL | SCL |
| PIN14 | SDA | SDA |
| PIN15 | 3V3 | 3V3 |

MIPI Camera Test
Test Equipment
Power adapter, Allspark-Orin NX main unit, and MIPI camera (click to view).
Test Objective
- Test the functionality of the CAM0- and CAM1-related circuitry.
Note
Handle the MIPI connector carefully when connecting or disconnecting it to avoid damaging the connector.
Test Procedure
- Enable imx219.
sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py
sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py
- Select CSI.

- Select Configure for compatible hardware.

- IMX219 Dual: two IMX219 cameras.
IMX477 Dual: two IMX477 cameras.
Camera IMX477-A AND IMX219-C: one IMX477-A and one IMX219-C.

- Save, exit, and restart.

- Enter the commands to open the cameras.
