1. General Information

1.1 Hardware Compatibility

MIPI-Modules can be connected to a number of different computer boards like the

  • Raspberry Pi 3, 3B, 3B+, 4B (with a 22-to-15 FPC cable)

  • Raspberry Compute Module - CMIO Rev. 3.0 and 4.0 (with a 22pin FPC cable)

  • Asus Tinker board (with a 22-to-15 FPC cable)

  • 96boards computer boards (with 22pin FPC cable and the VC MIPI 96 Adapter Board, EK003348)

  • Nvidia Jetson TX2 development board (with 15pin FPC cable and Auvidea J20 adapter board)

  • Nvidia Jetson Nano development board (directly with 15pin FPC cable)

  • Nvidia Jetson Xavier NX development board (directly with 15pin FPC cable)

  • Nvidia Jetson AGX Xavier development board (with 15pin FPC cable and Auvidea J20 adapter board)

  • Trenz Electronic ZynqBerry TE0726 SoC module (directly with 15pin FPC cable)

  • Toradex Verdin iMX8M Mini

VC performs compatibility tests for a number of boards on a regular basis and publishes the results. However, no guarantee for the sensor hardware compatibility for any third party board can be given.

1.2   Technical Specification

Please note that the achievable frame and data transmission rates depend on the number of lanes and/or the capabilities of the receiving endpoint. The fps shown at the table are the maximum possible values for the MIPI modules.

1.3 Electrical and Mechanical Prerequisites

Before connecting, make sure that the pinout of the computer board fits the pinout of the MIPI module, especially the power supply (3V3) and GND pins. In 2014 a number of boards for the Compute Module IO (CMIO) have been sold with reverse pinout which may damage the MIPI Module and the Compute Module when connected. If in doubt contact the manufacturer or the dealer of the computer board. Vision Components can not take resposibility for incorrect pin-outs, changes and modifications of third party manufacturers.

Always use the original Vision Components FPC cable for connecting the MIPI Modules! FPC cables are available with 15 pin or 22 pin header on one side. The MIPI module side always has 22 pins. The original FPC cables connect the signal traces on one side and have a GND shield on the other side. Flat cables with only the signal wires without shielding are not suitable for this purpose.

Please be aware that using the FPC cable with 15 pin on one side limits the number of MIPI data lanes to 2 (instead of 4 for the FPC cable with 22 pins on both sides). This may lead to lower frame rates than specified.

Make sure to connect the correct side of the cable with the MIPI Module. The correct side for the MIPI Module is marked "sensor side".

Due to the high transmission rate of about 1.5 Gbit/sec per lane the cable length is limited to 200mm. Using a repeater board the cable length can be doubled to 400mm.

1.4 Pin Cable Connector for Vision Components MIPI CSI camera modules

Data signals are compliant to MIPI CSI 2. Not all of the 4 lanes are supported for all sensor modules, e.g.:

  • Raspberry Pi Compute Module IO V3.0: CAM0 connector supports 2 lanes only; CAM1 connector supports 4 lanes

  • Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3 and Raspberry Pi 3B+ support 2 lanes only

1.4.1 Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) Cable

At the time of writing the schematics of the models 'Raspberry Pi CMIO V3.0' and the 'Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3' have the pin numbering of the MIPI sensor connector in a wrong, inverse order, so pin 1 would be pin 22, pin 2 would be pin 21, …

  • Always check cable numbering when connecting the sensor boards to hardware not from Vision Components!

  • Vision Components is not liable to any damages by connecting to incompatible hardware!

  • Always use an original Vision Components FPC cable! The correct function is not guaranteed with 3rd party cables.

  • FPC cable can only be used in one direction!
