Hello Nvidia,
We’re looking into implementing the Jetson AGX Xavier on a custom carrier board. We want this because the AGX Xavier (supposedly) supports SLVS-EC. The specsheet notes that up to 8 lanes and 2 streams are supported, with a maximum baudrate of 2304Mbps.
However, when googling for information about other people who (tried to) use the SLVS-EC, I encounter nothing but problems. Also in your list of partner supported camera’s, none of them use the SLVS-EC interface. All the partner supported (Sony) sensors who support only SLVS(-EC) are in some way converted to MIPI before inputting to the Jetson.
So I have the following questions:
-
Are SLVS-EC sensors supported and recommended? (On nov 4 the answer was basically ‘No’ by ShaneCCC)
-
Is it possible to connect 2 sensors simultaneously? (Topic linked above says ‘Yes’, but later on the answer was ‘No’ by ShaneCCC)
-
Is only sensor slave mode supported or is sensor master mode also supported?
-
Is there a possibility that SLVS-EC 2.0 will be supported in the future (5 Gbps)? Or will this require a hardware change?
-
Are there any upcoming changes about the SLVS-EC support coming year?
It would be really nice is Nvidia put more effort into support for SLVS(-EC). Sony global shutter sensors are pretty much solely available with this interface.
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
Falco
