Pinout Description

Please note that the software GPIO number differs from the socket pin number. This software GPIO number must be computed with a special formula and differs between the various compute modules. Please see appendix B for details.

reverse voltage protection

over voltage protection (SMA6J18A/CA) with max 20V peak

2

GND

Reverse voltage protection also functions as back power protection if POE injection is used with J32 pin 2. If a voltage higher than 19V is applied, the TRS diode will heat up and possibly get damaged.

J3 – Ethernet (GbE)

Standard RJ45 pinout with POE capable magnetics class 3 and 4 (PD or PSE). Connected to the Ethernet controller on the compute module.

J4 – M.2 PCIEx4 NVMe SSDs

Please note that only NVMe SSDs are supported. SATA SSDs are not supported. We recommend the 128 GB Transcend SSDs (TS128GMTE110S). This SSD is standard in some Auvidea development system offerings.

Please note that on the JNX30D, each camera connector uses its own I2C bus. This setup is different from the NVIDIA dev kit. If you like to use CSI-2 cameras, please install the Auvidea BSP (firmware).

This CSI-2 connector has the same 22 pin pinout as the 22 pin connector on the Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi compute module dev kit board. With adapter cable, it may connect to Raspberry Pi camera 2.1 and Vision Component camera modules. Alvium cameras require the Alivium adapter.

Pin 6: by default, the device tree puts a PWM signal on pin 206 (LCD_BL_PWM - GPIO_07). For most cameras (like Raspberry Pi camera with iMX219 sensor) this needs to be changed to a constant low output to send a high to the camera for power enable. This is part of the device tree changes.

Some Vision Component camera modules use this pin to synchronize multiple cameras. The pin 5s of all CSI-2 connectors are OR ‘red together and drive the CAM LED output.

LED – Ethernet

Shows Ethernet activity on Socket pin 194 – on[0]/off[1], default: off

At own risk, the resistor can be moved to control Eth-LED via socket pin 188 (link LED)

Selection of Eth led functionality

LED – Over current

Placed between J1 (Power connector) and J3 (Ethernet).

Shows over current condition of integrated 5V 8A power supply. If 8A is exceeded, the power output is disabled, and the LED is activated to red. To reset this over current condition, power input must be cycled.

The integrated 5V power controller supplies mainly power to the compute module, the USB ports and the 3.3V power controller for the M.2 socket.

Over current LED

LED – PWR

GPIO socket pin 178 on[1]/off[0], default: off[0].

Micro SD card reader

Standard pinout.

Needs device tree changes to be activated, which includes enabling socket pin 211.
