4x/8x ZED X Nano on Advantech AFE-A702 (Jetson Thor). Does it has same capabilities as with a ZED Link Quad?

Hi all,

I would like to create a 4-camera/8-camera setup for our robotic use-case. My requirements are:

  • 4x/more ZED X Nano running simultaneously
  • Hardware-synchronized frames across all four cameras
  • Maximum FPS per camera
  • Depth on all four cameras

I know this configuration is well supported on your own ZED Link Quad: the current ZED docs cover the per-group resolution/FPS limits and the sync setup (15 µs precision).

I’m now looking at the Advantech AFE-A702 (Jetson Thor, with their optional 8-port GMSL board) instead, since it’s listed as an officially supported partner platform in the Advantech/Stereolabs collaboration post and Thor gives me more compute headroom for depth.

My question: will I get the same capabilities on the AFE-A702 as I would on a ZED Link Quad?

Specifically:

  1. Is the ZED X Nano supported on this platform, or only ZED X / ZED X Mini?
  2. Do I get hardware synchronization across all cameras slots, and at what precision? Is any special configuration needed?
  3. What resolution and frame rate can I expect per camera with 4 or more cameras connected? Do the same per-group limits from the ZED Link Capture Card tables apply?

Software versions:

  1. Which ZED X driver version supports this platform, and where do I get it: from Stereolabs or from Advantech?
  2. Which ZED SDK version is validated here? The AFE-A702 ships with JetPack 7.1 / Ubuntu 24.04, so I’d like to confirm that combination is supported.
  3. Has anyone actually tested this in practice? If so, I’d be grateful to know which driver version, which ZED SDK version, and which JetPack you were running and whether anything needed manual configuration (DTS changes, sync setup, etc.).

Thanks
