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.
