The AD-GMSLCAMRPI-ADP# enables connecting GMSL serializer and deserializer EV kits to a wide range of cameras and processing platforms supporting industry standard ribbon cable connectors. The adapter consists of three sections that can be broken apart from each other, having with the following functionalities:

• Two ribbon cable adapters containing a 15-pin and a 22-pin connector routed to each other. The 15-pin connector supports 2 MIPI lanes, while the 22-pin connector supports 4 MIPI lanes.
• A GMSL serializer EV kit adapter with two 22-pin ribbon cable connectors, for connecting cameras to either of the input MIPI ports of the GMSL serializers
• A GMSL deserializer EV kit adapter with a22-pin ribbon cable connector connected to each of the output MIPI ports, for connecting to Raspberry Pi and Nvidia development platforms, or other processing platform supporting the 15-pin or 22-pin ribbon cable connector. A USB Type-A connector is available to supply 5V @ 4A.

The AD-GMSL522-SL is a GMSL-enabled NVIDIA Jetson Xavier™ NX-based carrier board and software solution that allows for simple camera to display conversion. This solution creates a scalable, user friendly, GMSL platform for receiving and transmitting data over a gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL). The platform enables demonstrations and ecosystem development by serving as a hardware platform for software development.

The AD-GMSL522-SL supports two forms of camera input -- either straight CSI data coming through a SAMTEC connector, or via camera modules using GMSL2 or GMSL1 technology to connect to the on-board MAX96724 via COAX connectors. GMSL evaluation kits or any camera utilizing the standard 15- or 22-pin Raspberry Pi connector can be connected here using the AD-GMSLCAMRPI-SL adapter board.

The AD-GMSL522-SL package includes software tools to enable customers in their development of GMSL applications. Among these tools are modified L4T kernels that support certain camera modules and documentation that allows any user to update these kernels for their specific hardware needs.

The design incorporates the MAX96724GTN/VY+ Quad tunneling GMSL2/1 to CSI-2 deserializer and MAX96717GTJ/VY+ CSI-2 to GMSL2 serializer and provides a reliable platform to evaluate high-bandwidth GMSL.

The MAX96724 DPHY evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven design and reliable platform to evaluate the MAX96724, MAX96724F, and MAX96724R devices using standard FAKRA coaxial cables or a MATE-AX cable. These deserializer devices support high-bandwidth, gigabit multimedia serial links (GMSL-1 or GMSL-2) and offer spread spectrum and full-duplex control channel features. The EV kit includes a simple-to-use Windows 10^® or higher compatible graphical user interface (GUI) to exercise device features. The EV kit comes with a MAX96724, MAX96724F, or MAX96724R IC installed on board.

For complete GMSL-2 evaluation using standard FAKRA coax cables, order the MAX96724 coax EV kit along with a companion serializer board, such as the MAX9295A coax EV kit.
