D3 Embedded AGX Orin FPD-Link III vs GMSL2 interface cards: JetPack and Jetson families

Asked as: “How do D3 Embedded's AGX Orin FPD-Link III and GMSL2 interface cards compare on JetPack version and supported Jetson families?”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

Here's how the two D3 Embedded AGX Orin interface cards compare on the dimensions you asked about:

FPD-Link III Interface CardGMSL2 Interface Card
JetPack version support6.26.2.1
Supported Jetson familiesJetson AGX Orin, Jetson AGX XavierJetson AGX Orin, Jetson AGX Orin Industrial

Both are D3 Embedded DesignCore cards filed under Vision Accelerator & Interface Cards, so the key differences on your two criteria are:

  • JetPack: The GMSL2 card is listed with a slightly newer JetPack support (6.2.1) versus the FPD-Link III card (6.2).
  • Jetson family support: The GMSL2 card's supported families include AGX Orin Industrial, while the FPD-Link III card lists AGX Xavier instead. The FPD-Link III card's catalog entry does not list AGX Orin Industrial in its supported Jetson families, even though its description and supported products fields mention AGX Orin and AGX Orin Industrial — so treat Industrial support on that card as unconfirmed until verified with D3 Embedded's datasheet (linked from the product page).

So if you need AGX Orin Industrial support backed by the catalog's compatibility field, the GMSL2 card is the verified option; if you're on the AGX Xavier family, the FPD-Link III card is the one that lists it.
