FPA-A/NVN-V1#

Piggyback FPA to NVIDIA Jetson Nano and TX2 NX:

  • One 2-Lane MIPI CSI-2 Input

  • Signal routing and power conversion

  • Voltage level translation for control signals

  • Testpoints to important sensor signals

  • Board-to-board stacking to FSA

  • Compatible Processor Boards:

    • NVIDIA Jetson Nano Development Kit

    • NVIDIA Jetson TX2 NX Developer Kit

    • NVIDIA Xavier NX Development Kit

Note: All signals are routed from J1 (to FSA) to J4 (to processor), test points and pin row. They follow the signal specification according to the FSA output interface. Control signals going to J4 (I2C, clock, GPIO) are buffered to allow voltage translation.

Table: Image Sensor Connector on FPA-A/NVN-V1

The pin assignment of J1 is according to the corresponding FSA.

Caution: Direct connection of FSM to FPA (without FSA) or wrong cable orientation will lead to permanent damage of FSM, Adapters, or the Processor Board. Using flex cable (FMA-FC-150/60-V1) between FSA and FPA is optional.

Image Sensor CSI-2 lane Support per Port
