MAX9296-GMSL-HAT
The MAX9296-GMSL-HAT is a GMSL camera expansion board based on the MAX9296A deserializer chip. It supports connecting two GMSL cameras simultaneously to a Raspberry Pi 5, Jetson Orin Nano, or Jetson Orin NX main board. Through software configuration, it is compatible with both GMSL1 and GMSL2 protocol interfaces. The MAX9296A chip is designed specifically for applications requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency video transmission. This expansion board is suitable for autonomous driving, machine vision, and intelligent security.

Hardware Specifications
Interfaces

- CSI Interface x2: 2 x MIPI-4lanes 22Pin FFC/FPC connectors for connecting to Jetson Orin or Pi 5 mainboards
- CFG Switch: The CFG switch is used to configure default initial settings upon power-up, such as the serializer's I2C address and link rate. This configuration can be overwritten via software after power-up
- FAKRA Z Connectors x2: Used to connect GMSL cameras, providing POC 12V power
- 5V Power Interface: Input 5V power supply, providing power to the driver board and cameras
