Overview
The RDK S100(P) camera expansion board is a camera expansion board for the D-Robotics RDK S100 / RDK S100P development kit. It connects to the RDK S100 series main control board via a dedicated high-speed camera expansion connector and converts the developer kit’s camera expansion interface into MIPI and GMSL camera interfaces, enabling plug-and-play access to MIPI or GMSL cameras for function verification and secondary development.
Key Features
- Provides 2x MIPI camera interfaces and 4x GMSL camera interfaces for flexible vision system development.
- Direct high-speed connector to the RDK S100 series main control board (no adapter required), designed for signal integrity and seamless expansion.
- 2x 22-pin MIPI CSI-2 connectors (labeled on the board as MIPI1 (J2200) and MIPI2 (J2201)).
- GMSL interface via Fakra-Mini 4-in-1 connector for multi-camera connections.
- DIP switch for switching the logic level of the MIPI camera.
- On-board functional blocks shown in the topology include Level Shift, 24M Crystal, switching, power muxing, and GMSL-related devices MAX96712 and MAX20087.

Details



Add plug-and-play MIPI CSI-2 and GMSL camera connectivity to the RDK S100/S100P via the dedicated high-speed expansion connector.

Built-in level shifting, clocking, and power switching support stable camera bring-up for both MIPI and GMSL workflows.

Ideal for prototyping multi-camera pipelines, stereo vision, and long-distance camera connections during development.



Two 22-pin CSI-2 ports (MIPI1 J2200 and MIPI2 J2201) make it easy to connect compatible ribbon-cable MIPI cameras.


Documentation and quick-start resources are available for integration and interface bring-up.

Key interfaces are clearly identified on the PCB, including the camera expansion connector, MIPI ports, Fakra-Mini GMSL, and logic-level DIP switch.


Package includes the expansion board, mounting standoffs/screws, and a precaution card for safe setup.
