How do the Ecotron EATHA06 and EATHA20 differ on CAN ports, GMSL camera inputs and fastest Ethernet?

Question

Rapidflare · Accepted Answer

Here's how the two Ecotron ADUs compare on those three interfaces — the EATHA20 scales up on all of them:

**Ecotron EATHA06 vs. EATHA20**

| Attribute | EATHA06 | EATHA20 |
|---|---|---|
| CAN ports | 10 CAN FD channels | 12 CAN FD channels |
| GMSL camera inputs | 8 GMSL/GMSL2 | 16 GMSL/GMSL2 |
| Fastest Ethernet | 1 GbE (6 automotive Ethernet ports + 1 standard Gigabit Ethernet) | 10 GbE (1x 10G SFP optical port; plus 8 automotive Ethernet and 4 standard Gigabit Ethernet ports) |

Key differences:

- **CAN FD**: The EATHA20 provides 12 CAN FD channels versus 10 on the EATHA06. - **GMSL cameras**: The EATHA20 supports up to 16 GMSL/GMSL2 camera inputs — double the EATHA06's 8. 
- **Fastest Ethernet**: The EATHA06 tops out at 1 GbE, while the EATHA20 adds a 10G SFP optical port alongside its automotive and Gigabit Ethernet ports, bringing its maximum Ethernet speed to 10 GbE.

Both are Jetson Thor-based Autonomous Domain Control Units aimed at Level 3–Level 5 autonomous applications.
