Hi Support,

Will like to check if the EVK is capable to support 4 and 8 cameras setting? If yes, please advise the configuration/settings and what are the accessories required.

Regards,
Marcus

Hello Marcus,

Thank you for your question!

Based on the available documentation, Toradex evaluation kits (EVK) generally provide out-of-the-box support and documentation for single camera configurations, such as with the OV5640 (see reference) and the AR0521 (see reference).

To determine whether 4 or 8 cameras can be supported simultaneously, I’d need some additional information:

  1. Which specific EVK or System on Module (SoM) you are using?
  2. Which type of cameras you plan to connect (e.g., USB, MIPI CSI, parallel, etc.)?

In general:

  • USB cameras: You can theoretically connect multiple USB cameras if there are enough USB ports and system bandwidth, but performance will depend on your application and the EVK’s capabilities.
  • CSI (Camera Serial Interface) cameras: The number supported is limited by the number of available interfaces on the SoM. Toradex boards typically only expose one or two CSI inputs.
  • Accessories: You may require additional USB hubs or camera multiplexer solutions, depending on your setup.

If you provide the details above, I can give more specific recommendations on configuration, settings, and required accessories.

Best regards,

Hi,
I am looking at “i.MX 95 Verdin EVK”. However if there are other boards with NXP processor suitable for this setup, you may suggest to me instead. Main thing is the HW / EVK is ready to support 4-8 cameras setup. If test has been performed before, will be good for you to suggest the cameras too.

Hi @MarcusLim,
On what interface you want to connect cameras?
USB/MIPI-CSI/Parallel?
What will be the resolution of the cameras?

Hi Support,
There is no fix cameras defined as this is early stage POC.
Thus if you are able to recommend what is available and able to be connected to your Kit for 4 cameras (setup A) and 8 cameras (setup B), that will be fine.

Hi @MarcusLim,

You can use different combination of interfaces for your camera.
eg Module like verdin iMX8MP is having 2 X quad lane MIPI CSI interface which can handle 2 CSI camera and USB 3.1 which can handle multiple cameras based on your camera resolution. Additionally you can use IP based cameras as well.

You may also consider connection more than two cameras to MIPI CSI interface by using some kind of bridge/MUX.
