D457 with Nvidia Jetson Orin NX
I'm working on a slam project and intend to run ROS2 on Jetson Orin NX and want to try using the D457. Confused on which connector to use, which will tell me which carrier board to get from wherever it's available.
Does FAKRA and GMSL really make a difference vs USB? I want mapping to be the best it can be, and the sensor will be no more than 6 inches away from the Orin NX, so not far away..
Any help with connection type and tips/suggestions on which carrier board from wherever it's easily obtainable (USA) is greatly appreciated.

Hi Markpierz D457 is an excellent choice for use with GMSL in mobile robot or vehicle projects where multiple cameras are being used. An example would be an autonomous vehicle that has up to eight D457 arranged in a circle facing outwards for a 360 degree view of a scene with no blind-spots.
For a SLAM application with a single camera where the camera is located very close to the computing device, a USB connection would be sufficient.
A D457 can be changed into USB mode via a physical mode switch in a recess in the camera casing, where it will be detected as a D455 and have the same performance and feature-set as that model. If you are not using GMSL though then the D456 camera model will provide the same D455 features and also has the IP-rated dust and water resistant casing that the D457 has.
A D457 operating in USB mode or a D456 does not require the purchase of a deserializer board. If you do decide to explore GMSL then a board that will be compatible with D457 is the Leopard Imaging carrier board at the link below.

Leopard Imaging are based in Fremont, CA.
Using D457 on GMSL also requires the installation of a RealSense MIPI driver. Details of how to install it on Orin are included in the instructions.
