Hi,

I am designing a customize carrier board for Jetson AGX Orin 64GB SoM. There is requirement of two separate ports for displays.

  • One HDMI port for 4K60FPS Video
  • One Display port for 4K60FPS Video
    Please suggest, what are the possible solutions for this application?

Thanks,
Swadesh

Based on the provided context, I’ll offer a comprehensive answer to your question.

The Jetson AGX Orin 64GB SoM supports multiple display interfaces, including HDMI and DisplayPort (DP). To achieve your requirement of having two separate ports for displays, one HDMI port for 4K60FPS video and one DisplayPort for 4K60FPS video, you have a few possible solutions:

  1. Use the existing HDMI port and add a DisplayPort: The Jetson AGX Orin 64GB SoM has an HDMI port that can support up to 4K60FPS video. You can use this existing port for the HDMI connection. For the DisplayPort connection, you can add a separate DisplayPort connector to your custom carrier board. This will require designing a new PCB layout and ensuring that the DisplayPort signals are properly routed to the SoM.
  2. Use the DisplayPort and add an HDMI converter: Alternatively, you can use the DisplayPort on the Jetson AGX Orin 64GB SoM for the 4K60FPS video connection. To add an HDMI port, you can use an HDMI converter chip that converts the DisplayPort signal to HDMI. This will require selecting a suitable HDMI converter chip and designing the necessary circuitry to support the conversion.
  3. Use a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode): The Jetson AGX Orin 64GB SoM has a USB-C port that can support DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode). This allows you to use a single USB-C port to carry both USB and DisplayPort signals. You can use a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter or a USB-C to HDMI adapter to connect your displays. However, this solution may require additional hardware and software support to ensure proper functionality.

Before selecting a solution, consider the following factors:

  • Signal integrity: Ensure that the signal integrity of both the HDMI and DisplayPort signals is maintained across the custom carrier board.
  • Power consumption: Consider the power consumption of the additional components required for the solution you choose.
  • Software support: Verify that the chosen solution is supported by the Jetson AGX Orin software stack.
  • Cost and complexity: Evaluate the cost and complexity of the solution, including any additional components, PCB layout, and software development required.

In summary, you have multiple possible solutions to achieve your requirement of having two separate ports for displays on your custom carrier board for the Jetson AGX Orin 64GB SoM. Carefully evaluate each option, considering factors such as signal integrity, power consumption, software support, cost, and complexity, to determine the best solution for your application.

It is not possible to output these.

The only 2 display solution is to use DP MST to give out two displayport output.
