Single and Dual camera configuration

The SCAILX-2GS234 camera can be connected to the SCAILX-SOM board via J400 using a flex foil PCB, connecting to either CSI1 and/or CSI2 port.

SCAILX-SOM-AI SoM board

2x SCAILX-2GS234-xM/xC

2x 1080p60 max.

The SCAILX-SOM-AI board supports up to 2x SCAILX-2GS234-xM/xC in 1080p@60.

 

Single camera configuration

The SCAILX-SOM-AI board delivers two identical MIPI CSI-2 camera ports. The SCAILX-SOM-AI board will detect automatically which camera is connected and install the appropriate driver for it.

 

Dual camera configuration

The SCAILX-SOM-AI board delivers 2 identical MIPI CSI-2 camera ports. The SCAILX-SOM-AI board will support different MIPI camera boards.

Example of dual camera configuration using 2x SCAILX-2GS234-xY camera modules connected to the SCAILX-SOM-AI using 2x SCAILX-FLEX-480 (480 mm FlexPCB cables) for extended range between SCAILX-SOM and camera modules.

MIPI interfacing is restricted to 480 mm on each port.
