The Gemini 335Lg is the latest GMSL stereo camera launched by ORBBEC. Equipped with ADI’s serialization chip, it can output variable data streams in different formats at high speed up to 6Gbps. To preview these data streams and apply them in business development, the camera should be connected to a host that supports receiving MIPI streams, such as the NVIDIA Jetson ecosystem. The Gemini 335Lg has been officially adapted by ORBBEC for compatibility with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin and AGX Xavier developer kits, as well as other full systems based on NVIDIA Jetson SOM.
To support various platforms, ORBBEC provides precompiled GMSL drivers & driver source code in official github repository and has pre-tested performance through multiple camera links. To get access to the driver, please contact the sales team(business@orbbec.com).
Three types of solutions are supported: development kits, full systems, and standalone components.

1. Developer Kit Solution
1.1 AGX Orin Developer Kit
The AGX Orin developer kit is the latest flagship product in the NVIDIA Jetson series, with a computing power of 275Tps, 32GB or 64GB of RAM, and a 120-pin 16-lane MIPI connector, allowing up to 16 MIPI/GMSL cameras to be connected. To connect the Gemini 335Lg to the AGX Orin Developer Kit, a compatible deserializer board is required. ORBBEC has verified the following deserializer boards. Detailed information is shown below:
Components | – 1x AGX Orin Developer Kit
– 1x Gemini 335Lg – 1x Deserializer Board |
Supported Deserializer Board Models | – xcDeserializer 2.0(Only for estimation use)
– JCB002 (Connect tech inc.) * |

1.2 AGX Xavier Developer Kit
The AGX Xavier, released in September 2018, is an AI computing platform with 32Tops of computing power and 32GB of RAM. It also supports up to 16-lane MIPI camera connections. The deserializer boards and Developer Kit details verified by ORBBEC are as follows:
Components | – 1x AGX Xavier Developer Kit
– 1x Gemini 335Lg – 1x Deserializer Board |
Supported Deserializer Board Model | – xcDeserializer 2.0(Only for estimation use) |

Jetpack Version | 5.0.2 |
Linux Version | Ubuntu 20.04 |
ROS Support | ROS1 & ROS2 |
Features | – Multi-device sync |
Maximum Number of Gemini 335Lg Supported | 4 |
2. Full System Solution
2.1 ADVANTECH Full System
The Gemini 335Lg is also compatible with the MIC-733-AO full system, an advanced intelligent device from Advantech. Unlike the Developer Kit, the full system comes with a built-in deserializer board, which allows direct GMSL camera connection. The compatibility details are as follows:
Components | – 1x MIC-733-AO – 1x Gemini 335Lg |
Supported Deserializer Board Models | – MIC-FC-4G |
Connection Diagram | |
RAM | 64GB |
Jetpack Version | 6.0 |
Linux Version | Ubuntu 22.04 |
ROS Support | Yes |
Features | – Multi-device sync *
– Isaac ROS |
Maximum Number of Gemini 335Lg Supported | 4 |

3. Component Solution
3.1 CTI component solution
The NVIDIA Jetson is essentially a System on Module(SOM) that requires a compatible carrier board for operation. A Developer Kit is essentially a combination of an SOM and a carrier board. ORBBEC has provided adaptation solutions for such cases, with the following details:
Components | – 1x AGX202 + AGX Orin SOM + JCB002 – 1x Gemini 335Lg |
Supported Deserializer Board Models | – JCB002 |
Connection Diagram | |
RAM | 64GB(P3730-0000)*
32GB(P3730-0010)* |
Jetpack Version | 6.0 |
Linux Version | Ubuntu 22.04 |
ROS Support | Yes |
Features | – Multi-device sync * |
Maximum Number of Gemini 335Lg Supported | |

Notes:
- The Advantech MIC-733-AO currently does not support multi-device sync, which will be enabled in future software updates.
- The hardware SKU for AGX Orin and AGX Xavier may change slightly due to improvements by NVIDIA, but the first five digits will remain unchanged. Be sure to purchase official kits. Third-party kits require self-compiled drivers.
- There is no essential difference between different memory versions of the same kit, and drivers and system software are interchangeable.
