In a significant update, Allied Vision has released additional MIPI CSI-2 adapter boards along with corresponding drivers. This expansion enhances the ease of integrating Alvium CSI-2 cameras into various embedded systems.

CSI-2 Adapter Boards

Allied Vision now offers three new adapter boards designed for popular single-board computers and carrier boards:

  • Toradex Ixora Carrier Board
  • NVIDIA Jetson TX2 Developer Kit
  • NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit
  • NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit

These adapters simplify the integration, upgrade, or replacement of Alvium CSI-2 camera modules across multiple embedded platforms. Combined with existing adapter boards for NXP iMX 6 processors (such as Wandboard and Nitrogen Max), Allied Vision provides a comprehensive range of accessories to facilitate seamless integration.
