JNX42 TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL SECTION 4 FEATURES Crypto chip (optional) The crypto chip is optional. Please check the data sheet of the manufacturer for details. Model: ATSHA204A-MAHDA-T https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/ATSHA204A-Data-Sheet-40002025A.pdf MCU chip A on board MCU for watchdog and low level system management functions (via LTE). The MCU can receive text messages via an UART connection to compatible LTE M.2 cards (e.g.
JNX42 TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL SECTION 5 Pinout description top side Please note that the software GPIO number differs from the socket pin number. This software GPIO number must be computed with a special formula and differs between the various compute modules.
CSI_E_D0_P CSI_E_D0_N Please note that on the JNX42 implements the I2C bus multiplexer. This setup is identical to the NVIDIA dev kit. This CSI-2 connector has the same 22 pin pinout as the 22-pin connector on the Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi compute module dev kit board.

J14 – UART Connector the UART port (J14) of the JNX42 rev 2 is not really useable - we plan to correct this with rev 3. Rev 3 will feature a 10 pin connector for J14 which allows us to add UART0 (3.3V RX/TX) and UART1 (3.3V RX/TX).
2. We plan to make these available with rev 3. If you need to use a user UART please use UART0 on the bottom side (J25 on the JNX42 bottom side). Note: these signals are 1.8V. We have developed a small (16x18mm) level changer module to translate the UART from 1.8V to 3.3V (38583).
