4 GMSL – Getting Started
Figure 2: The FLIR ADK with the GMSL configuration.
The FLIR ADK with the GMSL connector allows for the longer cable lengths that are necessary
in the automotive environment. The Serializer in the ADK can be configured for GMSL 1
(trailing part number AA1) and for GMSL 2 (trailing part number AA2). Note that Serializers
configured for GMSL 1 can be field upgraded to GMSL 2.
In this document we provide examples of how to collect data from the GMSL ADK as well as
read and write I2C commands to the ADK. We have a driver for the Nvidia Drive system and
we show an example of using the Maxim MAX9296A_CSI_EVKIT to control the ADK. Note that
at the time of writing this GMSL 2 is still Maxim proprietary information, thus it is necessary
to contact Maxim directly to get documentation about the SerDes chips.
4.1 Power Over Coax
The FLIR ADK features a heater and a shutter that are necessary for getting the most out of
the thermal core. The heater and shutter require more power than is typically provided by
the GMSL connection on most platforms (including NVIDIA Drive and OnSemi). Many of
these systems have a way to change the power injection circuit on the compute platform or
