TYPICAL INSTALLATION AND USAGE
Software setup
Prior to hardware installation, make sure you have the correct software installed on the Xavier Module.
Installation instructions can be found at https://connecttech.com/resource-center/kdb373/. All other
GMSL and GMSL2 (MIPI) cameras should work with proper software and firmware configuration as long
as the power requirements match what JCB002 provides. Power to the cameras can be disabled by
setting CAM0_PWDN (UART4_CTS) low. There is a 100k external pull up resistor on this pin, so it is not
necessary to configure the pin for always on operation. This enables the 2.8V power rail which powers
the logic levels on the deserializers.
1. Ensure all external system power supplies are off.
2. Make sure S1 is set to the correct GMSL mode for the cameras connected.
3. Connect camera(s) to miniCoax connector(s).
a. Optionally connect an external 12V DC power supply to J3.
b. The external power connector provides unregulated power to the cameras. Do not
exceed 14V on this input.
4. Switch ON the Power Supply. DO NOT power up your system by plugging in live power.
Note: 10mm M3 extension standoffs are recommended to be added to the 18mm standoffs provided with the Rogue carrier for
clearance.
