NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit compatibility with Lattice CertusPro-NX Holoscan

Hi!

I would be interested in putting a demo with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor developer kit, and the dual IMX274 RGB camera from Leopard Imaging (LI-IMX274-MIPI-D-HOLOSCAN-090H) connected to the Lattice CertusPro-NX Holoscan Sensor Bridge EVK.

Can you confirm the two SFP+ ports can be connected into the QSFP port from the Thor using a breakout cable? Is there software support in the Thor BSP/Jetson SDK already in place or in planning?

Thanks in advance

Hello @angel.olmo,

That sounds like a great plan.

To answer your questions.

  1. Can you confirm the two SFP+ ports can be connected into the QSFP port from the Thor using a breakout cable?

That is correct. This NVIDIA guide is the one that we usually use, which shows how to connect the Holoscan bridge to an IGX platform, although its the same for NVIDIA Jetson Thor.

  1. Is there software support in the Thor BSP/Jetson SDK already in place or in planning?

Holoscan sensor bridge is officially supported by NVIDIA Jetson Thor Devkit. We generally use this guide for setting it up on the board.

Please give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Also, just to put it out there as an option, at ProventusNova we can help you with holoscan driver support if you needed a hand.

best regards,

hello angel.olmo,

sensor bridge device support Jetson series by connected to the RJ45 connector.
besides.. so far, JetPack 7.0 support CoE (CSI over Ethernet) camera sensor only.

Hi Thank you for your replies :)

Sorry if this question is obvious, but do you mean no QSFP port can be used on the AGX Thor dev kit side with JetPack 7.0?

And if so, are there plans to make this available in future JetPack releases, please?

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

hello angel.olmo,

please refer to developer guide, CoE vs GMSL/MIPI CSI architecture.
you should connecting the camera to the QSFP port with SIPL configuration JSON to specify mgbe0_0 interface.
Raw image data is received by the Ethernet PHY (MGBE) for CoE.

as mentioned by Jetson Linux release notes.
it supports Eagle Camera Sensor Module LI-VB1940.

@angel.olmo I run a AGX Thor Devkit + Lattice CertusPro-NX + that Leopard dual camera.
Currently it is not supported to run accelerated, through SIPL. As @JerryChang mentions.
But the linux port route works as I can attest.
So scripts like examples/linux_imx274_player.py . And also the stereo version.
Also it is tested by nvidia themselves as well it seems.
(the EA version v2510 firmware doesn’t work currently as you can tell from that ticket, but v2507 does!)
