Raspberry Pi 5#

Scenario 1: Flex Cable Connection#

Requirements:

• FSM:GO module (IMXxxx)

• FPA-A/P22-V2A connector (Order Code: FPA-A/P22-V2A)

• FMA-CBL-FFC22 Flex Cable (Order Code: FMA-CBL-FFC22)

Procedure:

Step 1: Connecting the FSM:GO Module to FPA-A/P22-V2A

1. Orientation Check: Begin by confirming the orientation of the 60-pin Pixelmate connectors on both the FSM:GO module and the FPA-A/P22-V2A. It is critical to align pin-1 of the FSM:GO connector with pin-1 on the FPA-A/P22-V2A to avoid any misalignment.

2. Connection: Carefully press the connectors together, ensuring that they are properly aligned and fully seated.

   

Step 2: Connecting FPA-A/P22-V2A to Raspberry Pi

1. Cable Attachment: Attach one end of the FMA-CBL-FFC22 flex cable to the FPA-A/P22-V2A. Make sure to use FFC type A and verify the correct orientation of the cable before inserting it into the connector to avoid damaging the device.

2. Connecting to Raspberry Pi 5: Connect the other end of the flex cable to one of the 22-pin CAM0 or CAM1 connectors on the Raspberry Pi 5 (located behind the Ethernet port).

   • Gently lift the brown latch on the Raspberry Pi connector to open it.

   • Insert the FFC cable with the reinforced side (typically blue) facing the latch side of the connector.

   • Ensure the contact pins are perpendicular to the connector plane before insertion.

   Refer to the images below to distinguish between:

   • Open vs. closed connector latch (Figure 1)

   • Reinforced side vs. contact side of the cable (Figures 2 and 3)

   • Cable inserted into open vs. closed connector (Figures 4 and 5)

     Figure 1: Example of a closed (secured) and open connector.

     Figure 3: Reinforced side of the cable

     Figure 4: Inserted cable with closed, secured connection

     Figure 5: Inserted cable with open connector

3. Securing the Connection: Once both ends are properly inserted, gently press down the brown latch on each connector to lock the cable in place. The connection is secure when the latch clicks into a closed position.

   

Scenario 2: GMSL Cable Connection#

Required Materials:

• FSM:GO module

• FPA-A/P22-V2A Adapter

• FFA-GMSL/SerDes-Kit

• FMA-CBL-FFC22 Flex Cable

• Compatible power supply

Step 1: Connecting the FFA-GMSL-Ser-V2A to the FSM:GO Module

1. Orientation Check: Align the 60-pin connectors of the FSM:GO module and the FFA-GMSL-Ser-V2A by matching pin-1 on both ends. This alignment is critical to prevent hardware damage.

2. Connection: Firmly press the connectors together until they securely engage.

   

Step 2: Connecting the FFA-GMSL-Des-V2A to the FPA-A/P22-V2A

1. Orientation Check: Ensure the 60-pin connectors of the FFA-GMSL-Des-V2A and the FPA-A/P22-V2A are correctly aligned (pin-1 to pin-1).

2. Connection: Press both connectors together firmly until fully seated.

   

Step 3: Adding the GMSL Cable and Power Connection

1. GMSL Cable Connection: Connect the GMSL coaxial cable between the serializer and deserializer boards (FFA-GMSL-Ser-V2A ↔ FFA-GMSL-Des-V2A).

2. Power Connection: Plug the power cable into the FFA-GMSL-Des-V2A. Important: Do not turn on the power supply yet. Power should only be enabled once all connections are verified.

   

Step 4: Connecting to Raspberry Pi 5

• Attach the FMA-CBL-FFC22 flex cable between the FPA-A/P22-V2A and one of the 22-pin camera ports (CAM0/CAM1) on the Raspberry Pi 5.

• Follow the same orientation and insertion steps outlined in the standard connection procedure above.
