Universal 2-Lane MIPI CSI-2 Camera Adapter for Jetson & Raspberry Pi


A simple board to connect bare camera modules to Jetson Nano, TX2 NX, and Raspberry Pi, with the clock and voltages your sensors actually need.


Why JetsonCamLink?

Factory camera modules lack the components to connect directly to a development kit, like a 24 MHz crystal or proper voltage regulation. JetsonCamLink solves this by bridging a 15-pin MIPI CSI-2 FPC connector (Jetson Nano, TX2 NX, Raspberry Pi 4/3/Nano) to a board-to-board camera interface, with regulated voltages and a clean clock signal built in.

This is open hardware. Use it, adapt it, or build around it.

Do you want to adjust the PCB to match other development kits? You can use the schematics and components to make your own board.
