6 Summary

This application report describes how to implement multi-camera applications on the AM6x family of devices. A reference design based on Arducam's V3Link Camera Solution Kit and AM62A SK EVM is provided in the report, with several camera applications using four IMX219 cameras such as streaming and object detection. Users are encouraged to acquire the V3Link Camera Solution Kit from Arducam and replicate these examples. The report also provides detailed analysis of the performance of AM62A while using four cameras under various configuration including displaying to a screen, streaming over Ethernet, and recording to files. It also shows AM62A capability of performing deep learning inference on four separate camera streams in parallel. If there are any questions about running these examples, submit an inquiry at the TI E2E forum.
