Questions regarding your Jetson Thor blog post

Dear Stereolabs team

We are interested in purchasing Stereolabs X Series cameras for our autonomous vehicle.
As we plan to begin migration to the Jetson Thor in the coming weeks, the question of compatibly came up.

I’ve read the article https://www.stereolabs.com/en-ch/blog/zed-cameras-on-nvidia-jetson-thor-high-performance-perception-at-the-edge which states:
Full GMSL2 connectivity for the ZED X family will be enabled through our partners’ solutions.
Could you please provide us more details on this matter?
We are especially interested in which technology the solution will use (GMSL2 to Ethernet, Holoscan?), if they are dependent on specific Jetson carrier boards and when these solutions will be available for purchase.

Thank you very much

Best regards

Finn

Hi @Finn
Welcome to the Stereolabs community.

We are collaborating with partners to release a full GMSL2-based solution 100% compatible with the existing cameras of the ZED X family soon.
It’s not a GMSL2 to Ethernet or GMSL2 to Holoscan conversion, but a pure GMSL2 connection, the same as that is currently available with Orin-based ECUs.

Regarding Holoscan and Ethernet, our R&D team is constantly working to improve our cameras and introduce new technologies, so I cannot rule out the possibility that similar solutions could be available in 2026.

Hello Myzhar

Thanks for your quick reply.

Will there be a GMSL2 solution available for the official NVIDIA Jetson Thor Developer Kit?

No, the carrier board of the AGX Thor devkit is not equipped with the usual Samtec mezzanine connector for cameras or CSI ports, so it’s not possible to use GMSL2 capture cards with it.

① I hope I can use ZED on ‘Thor’. The notice about ZED SDK5.1 show it has supported. But, now the download url was closed. Let me know when the download can re-open.(https://www.stereolabs.com/en-kr/developers/release/5.1)

② When do you release ‘ZED X camera device’ for Thor? On the page(https://www.stereolabs.com/en-kr/developers/drivers), no driver for Jetpack7.0, yet.
※ I’m using ‘ZED X mini’

③ Which partner’s carrier board is compatible with ‘Thor’ using ZED SDK 5.1?

Hi @Eric

The download page is available.

You cannot use our GMSL2 camera with the Jetson AGX Thor devkit. It does not provide the required hardware connectivity.

We cannot undisclose the names as long as an official products have been announced.
Two important partners of ours are very close to release compatible devices… stay tuned.

Yes, the page is available. But, any file wasn’t downloaded.

I’m using ‘Advantech Thor PC(MIC-743-AT)’ w/ Samtec mezzanine connector for cameras or CSI ports. I’d assembled it w/ your ‘ZED Link Quad Capture Card’. If I install ZED SDK5.1, Could I use my ‘ZED X mini’?

The ZED SDK v5.1 supports JP7 on Thor, but you can use it only with USB3 cameras (ZED 2i and ZED Mini).

Stay tuned for news regarding the MIC-743-AT and our GMSL2 cameras
