Realsense D430 MiPi
Hi folks,
We were looking at integrating the D430 depth module and D4 processor with our motherboard. We would like to use the D4 processor's mipi out pins and connect it to our SoM.
- Is there any guidelines/whitepapers/datasheet available for this?
- Will the SDK support if the MiPi interface is used?

Hi Pranavmp Appendix A (pages 159-168) of the data sheet document for the RealSense 400 Series cameras provides information for integrating the Vision Processor D4 chip onto a motherboard, including the MIPI connectors.
https://dev.intelrealsense.com/docs/intel-realsense-d400-series-product-family-datasheet
Pages 128-129 provide information about using a MIPI host interface instead of USB.
MIPI camera support was introduced in RealSense SDK 2.52.1 onwards. It was designed for the D457 camera model with a GMSL / FAKRA connector. D457 contains a D450 depth module and Vision Processor D4 V5.
A MIPI reference driver is required to use a D457 camera with the RealSense SDK on a MIPI interface instead of USB. This driver was designed for use with D457 and the Jetson AGX Xavier board, so must be converted (ported) if used with your own choice of hardware components.

If you will be designing your own IP-rated enclosure then Intel provide a CAD file for the D430 module at the link below.

Pre-made cased cameras such as D435if can be used within a custom enclosure with a transparent window on the front though, like the example below from an underwater project.
Another possibility would be to use the new D456 model that is an IP65-protected D455 and add the D435if's CLAREX NIR-75N filter (which is purchasable separately from filter suppliers) externally over the front glass on the outside of the camera.
