Both are Leopard Imaging GMSL2 camera box systems built on NVIDIA Jetson, but they differ significantly on the three attributes you asked about:
| Attribute | LI-XNX-BOX-GMSL2 | LI-AGO-BOX-GM2B |
|---|---|---|
| GMSL2 camera inputs | 6 (MAX9296A deserializers, FAKRA Z, PoC up to 12 m) | 8 (2x MAX96712, 2x mini quad FAKRA) |
| Cooling | Fanless | Fan |
| Lifecycle status | NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) | Active |
Key takeaways:
- Camera inputs: The LI-AGO-BOX-GM2B supports 8 GMSL2 camera inputs versus 6 on the LI-XNX-BOX-GMSL2. The AGX Orin-based box uses quad MAX96712 deserializers with mini quad FAKRA connectors, while the Xavier NX box uses MAX9296A deserializers with FAKRA Z connectors supporting PoC up to 12 m. leopardima... +3leopardimaging.com ↗“io.gmsl_camera_inputs=6”leopardimaging.com ↗“io.gmsl_camera_inputs=8”leopardimaging.com ↗“MAX9296A deserializers, FAKRA Z, PoC up to 12 m”leopardimaging.com ↗“2x MAX96712, 2x mini quad FAKRA”
- Cooling: The LI-XNX-BOX-GMSL2 is fanless, which suits deployments where silent operation or dust resistance matter. The LI-AGO-BOX-GM2B uses a fan, consistent with its higher-performance Jetson AGX Orin module (up to 275 TOPS). leopardima... +1leopardimaging.com ↗“thermal.cooling=Fanless”leopardimaging.com ↗“thermal.cooling=Fan”
- Lifecycle: The LI-XNX-BOX-GMSL2 is NRND, meaning it's not recommended for new designs — worth weighing if you're starting a new project. The LI-AGO-BOX-GM2B is Active, making it the better choice for new deployments. leopardima... +1leopardimaging.com ↗“identity.lifecycle_status=NRND”leopardimaging.com ↗“identity.lifecycle_status=Active”
Related operating-temperature context that follows from the cooling difference: the fanless XNX box is rated −20 to 70 °C, while the fan-cooled AGO box is rated −25 to 65 °C. leopardima... +1leopardimaging.com ↗“-20~70C”leopardimaging.com ↗“-25~65C”
