The tech notes on Jetson Orin Nano SUPER indicates it supports 4 MIPI CSI-2 camera inputs. It means each camera work in 2 lane. I’m to install 4 IMX477 (4 lanes) cameras on. Only two of the four cameras will work at the same time. One IMX477 will keep on working all the time,while another one will shift among the rest three IMX477 by rest the configuration during operation. Will each of the two runing IMX477 be able to work in 4 lanes to achieve max data transfer rate.?

Based on the provided context, I will address the question regarding the Jetson Orin Nano.
The Jetson Orin Nano supports 4 MIPI CSI2 camera inputs, and each camera can work in 2 lanes. However, you want to install 4 IMX477 cameras, each requiring 4 lanes. Since the Jetson Orin Nano only has 4 MIPI CSI2 camera inputs, you can only connect two cameras at a time, and the other two will not work simultaneously.
To achieve the desired functionality, you plan to keep one IMX477 camera running continuously while switching the other camera among the remaining three IMX477 cameras by resetting the configuration during operation.
Now, regarding the question of whether each of the two running IMX477 cameras can work in 4 lanes to achieve the maximum data transfer rate:
Unfortunately, the provided context does not explicitly state that the Jetson Orin Nano can support 4-lane operation for each camera. The context only mentions that the Jetson AGX Orin series supports a maximum of 16 virtual channels with ISP or 24 virtual channels without ISP, but it does not provide specific information about the lane configuration for the Jetson Orin Nano.
However, since the Jetson Orin Nano has 4 MIPI CSI2 camera inputs, and each camera can work in 2 lanes, it is likely that the Jetson Orin Nano can support a maximum of 2 lanes per camera. This means that each of the two running IMX477 cameras might not be able to work in 4 lanes simultaneously.
To confirm this, you may need to refer to the specific documentation or technical notes for the Jetson Orin Nano, which might provide more detailed information about the lane configuration and camera support.
In summary, while the Jetson Orin Nano can support 4 MIPI CSI2 camera inputs, it is unlikely that each of the two running IMX477 cameras can work in 4 lanes simultaneously, given the 2-lane limitation per camera. However, further confirmation is required through specific documentation or technical notes for the Jetson Orin Nano.

hello 15800840178,
please refer to Jetson Orin NX Series and Orin Nano Series Design Guide.
Orin Module brings eight MIPI CSI lanes to the connector. Up-to two quad-lane camera streams, or, up-to four dual-lane camera streams are supported.
besides..
Orin Nano carrier board (p3768) can work with 4-lane camera only on J21 camera slot.
we’re not support CSI-B in 4-lane config because of CSI clock limitations.
it’s due to J20 has CSI1_CLK, only a x2 camera interface is supported. whereas, J21 uses CSI2_CLK, it can support both x2 or x4 camera interfaces.

Thanks Jerry!
Four dual-lane camera streams fit my application.
