EP-200Q-CB with extended MIPI CSI interfaces for cameras
The EP-200Q-CB is the edge card form-factor SoM integrating the EP-200Q, SX-PCEBE, 2x2 Wi-Fi 7 and BLE combo wireless module, QPS615, PCI Express bridge IC and Ethernet PHY. Although the size and the connector type of the EP-200Q-CB are compatible with the SMARC, the pin assignment is optimized for the EP-200Q's capability.
This article describes more details of the pin assignment of the EP-200Q-CB with reference to the SMARC standard as well as additional interfaces available on the EP-200Q-CB.
SX-PECBE Wi-Fi 7 interface
The SX-PCEBE Wi-Fi module is implemented on the EP-200Q-CB. It has two MHF4 antenna connectors.
MIPI CSI FPC connectors
Three MIPI CSI connectors are available on the EP-200Q-CB. They are located on the other side of the edge connector.
- CN3 on the EP-200Q-CB: 4-lane MIPI CSI (camera 2 interface of EP-200Q)
- CN4 on the EP-200Q-CB: 4-lane MIPI CSI (camera 3 interface of EP-200Q)
- CN5 on the EP-200Q-CB: 4-lane MIPI CSI (camera 4 interface of EP-200Q)
The EP-200Q-CB pinout vs SMARC 2.2
Main differences are as follows.
- Unused Ethernet interface (GBE1) is repurposed for other functions.
- Unused DisplayPort interface is repurposed for other functions.
- LCD control I2C for LVDS is repurposed for another function.
- Some USB interfaces are occupied for USB Type-C interface.
- SATA interface is repurposed to SPI.
- CAN interface is repurposed for USB Vbus.
- Some battery related pins are repurposed for USB Vbus or 1.8V power rail.
- SerDes interfaces are used for MIPI CSI to support two 4-lane MIPI CSI from the edge connector.
Silex supports custom BSP development
Silex helps customers repurpose pre-assigned interfaces by using a custom BSP tailored to their specific needs. As an official Qualcomm Embedded Design Center (EDC) partner, Silex already holds the necessary BSP customization license. We deliver customized BSPs to match your interface requirements.
