Product Image	SKU	Shutter Type	Sensor	Resolution	Features	Lens Mount	Field of View(HxV)	Focus Type	IR Sensitivity
	B0580	Global Shutter	AR0234	2.3MP	8*Camera Kit, Synchronized Stereo(binocular)	M12 Mount	110°(D)×98°(H)×75°(V)	Fixed Focus	650nm IR-cut filter

Hardware Connection¶

Adjust the DIP switch

First, you need to turn both switch 1 and switch 2 to the ON state

Conenct GMSL Extension Cable

Connect one end of the four coaxial cables to the RXA/RXB/RXC/RXD channels of the camera assembly TX board respectively

Connect the other end to the GMSL RX adapter board

Conenct NVIDIA AGX Orin

Connect the GMSL RX adapter board to the NVIDIA AGX Orin connector

Power on

Connect the external 12V power supply first, then power on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin. The corresponding channel light will light up.

Quick Start Guide - NVIDIA Jetson Native Camera¶

The following tutorial is suitable for the camera kits below:

Product Image	SKU	Pin/Connect Type	Sensor	Resolution	Features	Lens Mount	Field of View(HxV)	Focus Type	IR Sensitivity
	B0472	15/bottom	IMX219	8MP	6xCam Kit	Stock Lens Mount	74°(D)	Fixed Focus	650nm IR-cut filter
	B0473	15/bottom	IMX477	12MP	6xCam Kit	M12 Mount	120°(D)	Fixed Focus	650nm IR-cut filter

Hardware Connection¶

Note

The access of all Arducam camera kits must be based on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin official kits, Arducam dedicated camera adapter boards, and systems we support.
You can refer to the following doc to get all versions and systems supported on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin: Click Here

Connect the Adapter Board with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin

Connect the male connector on the camera adapter board to the female connector on the AGX Orin Board

Please try to make this process as gentle as possible. You can see the connection diagram below:

Note

The NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin camera board supports 6x MIPI CSI interfaces, which can be connected up to 6 cameras (currently only 6 of the same camera are supported, if you need other combinations, please contact sales@arducam.com for customization). Each MIPI CSI interface currently only supports 2-lane configuration.

Connect the Camera Module

Pull up on the plastic edge of the camera port. Be gentle to avoid pulling it off.

Demonstration:

Ribbon cable fully inserted to the bottom of the CSI connector>>>

Push the plastic connector down. Do it while holding the flex cable until the connector is back in place.

Connection Diagram:

Attention!

Note

SENSOR_ID indicates the selected camera. This value does not correspond to the silkscreen on the camera board.

It is sorted according to the direction starting from the silkscreen camera0 on the camera board.

For example, when all six MIPI csi interface are connected to the camera, the corresponding SENSOR_ID value is 0. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

For example, when you connect all six cameras to the MIPI CSI interface, the corresponding SENSOR_ID values are like:

If don't use the cam2 MIPI csi interface:
