FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Plug-and-Play
GMSL Camera Adapters Turn NVIDIA Jetson Orin Dev Kits into Rugged
Multi-Camera Vision Platforms
Designed
to accelerate multi-camera autonomy trials for unmanned vehicles,
delivery robots, and off-highway machines
Hsinchu, Taiwan, March
5th,
2026 -
oToBrite, a
provider of Vision AI
solutions for unmanned vehicles, off-highway
machines, and robotics, today announced two plug-and-play GMSL2 camera
enablement kits for NVIDIA
Jetson Orin Nano and NVIDIA
Jetson AGX Orin developer kits. Each kit combines a rugged
oToBrite GMSL2 camera adapter built around an ADI/MAXIM MAX96724
deserializer with the corresponding NVIDIA Jetson developer kit in its
original packaging, plus a setup microSD card or pre-packaged BSP
(board support package) containing NVIDIA JetPack 6.2 and oToCam sensor
drivers for quick installation on the included developer kit.
The enablement kits support rapid
development of edge AI vision systems for applications
ranging from autonomous
delivery robots, unmanned ground vehicles, to off-highway autonomy for machines
used in sidewalk delivery, mining,
agriculture, and other heavy-equipment
environments.
By combining NVIDIA Jetson Orin developer kits with rugged multi-camera
GMSL2 connectivity, synchronization support, and setup media that
reduces driver bring-up work, the kits help teams start building, testing, and
iterating faster.
Multi-camera vision programs often stall on integration friction such
as rugged cabling, reliable synchronization, and the driver work needed
to bring GMSL cameras up on an edge AI platform. oToBrite designed
these plug-and-play kits to reduce
setup overhead during early development and field testing.
From
Dev Kit To Rugged Multi-Camera Vision Platform
Each kit is designed to create a compact, self-contained development
unit, using a well-designed bracket to attach the oToBrite adapter to
the Jetson developer kit. The adapter connects to the developer kit
through the standard 22-pin MIPI-CSI connector or High-Speed Ground
Plane Terminal Strip connector (120pin), while GMSL2 camera links use
standard FAKRA serial connectors.
Built
for Moving Machines: Synchronized Multi-Camera Vision
For multi-camera applications, the kits support external or internal
frame synchronization options to help align camera inputs for
perception, mapping, and sensor fusion workflows across multiple
viewpoints.
Automotive-grade design targets harsh mobile environments, including
wide 12 V to 20 V power input and an operating temperature range of
-40°C to +85°C for reliable performance during vehicle and machine
trials with oToBrite automotive-grade camera.
Typical scenarios include surround-view and blind-spot safety
concepts for trucks and other commercial vehicles, multi-camera
perception stacks for autonomous delivery robots, and sensing trials
for off-highway machines used around heavy-equipment sites. The same
approach can also support multi-camera inspection and monitoring pilots
in industrial and field environments.
4-Camera
and 8-Camera Kit Options Using Standard Fakra Connectors
The
oToAdapter-GMSL-Orin-Nano kit supports up to four GMSL2 cameras via
four FAKRA connectors. The oToAdapter-GMSL-AGX-Orin kit supports up to
eight GMSL2 cameras via two FAKRA connectors.
To streamline setup, the kits include setup package with NVIDIA JetPack
6.2 and oToCam sensor and serializer/deserializer (SerDes) drivers.
Unlike USB or Ethernet cameras, GMSL camera bring-up typically requires
platform driver integration. With the included image, developers can
install the stack on the included developer kit and start testing
supported oToCam GMSL2 cameras directly, with less manual porting.
Automotive-Grade
Cameras for Harsh Autonomy and Robotics Programs
The
kits are designed to pair with oToBrite’s oToCam automotive-grade
camera modules for outdoor autonomy and mobile robotics. The oToCam
portfolio spans 1MP to 8MP sensors with multiple viewing angles.
Modules are produced using active alignment manufacturing and can be
supplied with rugged housings, including optional IP67/IP69K ratings.
Intrinsic calibration services are available on request.
oToBrite’s automotive-grade cameras are manufactured in an IATF
16949-certified facility with a Class 1K cleanroom. The cameras have
been adopted in automotive OEM programs in Japan, Germany, and the
U.S., including heavy-duty off-road vehicles.
Why
GMSL2 for Harsh Mobile Environments
GMSL2 (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) is well suited for multi-camera
AI vision on moving machines because it provides a robust, single-cable
serial link that simplifies cabling over practical distances while
maintaining ample bandwidth for high-quality video. Combined with
standard FAKRA connectors, it helps teams build camera rigs that can
better tolerate vibration, heat, and real-world vehicle wiring
constraints during autonomy and safety trials.
