## What is the J20?

The J20 is a CSI adapter board for the devkit camera connector. It allows connecting up to 6 CSI-2 cameras, each 2 Lanes. This board is compatible with the:&#x20;

* TX1 Devkit (SKU: 945-82371-0005-000[^1]†)
* AGX Xavier Devkit (SKU: 945-82972-0045-000[^1]†)
* AGX Orin Devkit (SKU: 945-13730-0055-000)

{% hint style="info" %}
† -> End of life for this product is already reached
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Keep in mind that the camera serial interfaces may changes if you connect it to other devkit boards than the TX1 because the J20 was designed for the TX1 devkit and other most recent devkit from Nvidia are using a slightly different CSI mapping. &#x20;
{% endhint %}

## I²C Address Translation

Each I²C Bus that is populated on that connector connects to 2 camera ports. Therefore, the J20 implements an I²C address translation to avoid an address conflict if the same camera is connected to both connectors.&#x20;

The following table gives a brief overview over the translation.&#x20;

<table><thead><tr><th width="86">port</th><th width="62">I2C</th><th width="118">translation</th><th width="180">Pi camera 1.3</th><th width="171">Pi camera 2.1</th><th>B101/B102</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>J1_1</td><td>0</td><td>-</td><td>0x36</td><td>0x64</td><td>0x0F</td></tr><tr><td>J1_2</td><td>6</td><td>-</td><td>0x36</td><td>0x64</td><td>0x0F</td></tr><tr><td>J1_3</td><td>2</td><td>-</td><td>0x36</td><td>0x64</td><td>0x0F</td></tr><tr><td>J2_1</td><td>0</td><td>✓</td><td>0x34</td><td>0x12</td><td>0x0D</td></tr><tr><td>J2_2</td><td>6</td><td>✓</td><td>0x34</td><td>0x12</td><td>0x0D</td></tr><tr><td>J2_3</td><td>2</td><td>✓</td><td>0x34</td><td>0x12</td><td>0x0D</td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://auvidea.gitbook.io/j20/manual/j20-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
