GMSL Deserializer Board

Copyright (c) 2023-2025 Antmicro

Overview

This project contains open hardware design files for the Antmicro GMSL Deserializer Board, capable of translating up to 4 GMSL signals into 2x 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 interfaces. The board is designed to connect to a baseboard, e.g. Jetson Orin Baseboard, via a 50-pin Antmicro Dual Camera interface.

The design files were prepared in KiCad 8.

Key features

• Four GMSL2 ports
• PoC circuit for providing up to 12W per GMSL line, over coaxial cable
• MIPI CSI-2 interface on a 50-pin Antmicro Dual Camera connector
• DC Power connector

Project structure

The main directory contains KiCad PCB project files, a LICENSE, and a README. The remaining files are stored in the following directories:

• img - contains graphics for this README
• doc - contains schematics in PDF format
• assets - contains visual assets for showcasing this design on Open Hardware Portal.

The board exposes MIPI CSI-2 interfaces using unified 50-pin connectors that are electrically compatible with a variety of boards created by Antmicro:

• Jetson Nano Baseboard
• Jetson Orin Baseboard
• SA800U (Snapdragon 845) Baseboard
• SC606T (Snapdragon 625) Baseboard
• Kria K26 Devboard
