Hi everyone!

I have a question about Nvidia GMSL interface.
Regarding to Nvidia Drive PX2 documentation:
[url]https://docs.nvidia.com/drive/nvvib_docs/NVIDIA%20DRIVE%20Linux%20SDK%20Development%20Guide/Configuration/images/image4_2.jpg[/url]
It has MAX9286 deserializer and regarding specification each serial link has an embedded control channel operating from 9.6kbps to 1Mbps in UART-to-UART, UART-to-I²C, and I²C-to-I²C mode

Is it possible to use integrated UART interface instead of I2C?
How to remap pins to UART interfaces?
Won’t be a trouble to work independently with up to 12 GMSL-cameras with integrated UART?
Is it possible to mix cameras on Nvidia with integrated in GMSL I2C and UART interfaces?

Hi,
MAX9286 I2C/Uart mode select by hardware pin I2CSEL, and it’s set to I²C-to-I²C on Drive PX2 board, not changeable.
So no chance use integrated UART interface instead of I2C on Drive PX2.
Thanks.
