Here's what I verified. Among AGX Orin carrier boards in the catalog with GMSL camera inputs, two models stand out with the highest camera counts:
Most GMSL inputs (12 cameras)
| Product | GMSL inputs | Operating temp | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| RTSO-2006 (Realtimes) | 12 | -40 °C to 85 °C | 4 CAN ports, 10GbE, Fan/Fanless, 9–28 V input |
| RTSO-2001 (Realtimes) | 12 | -20 °C to 60 °C | 4 CAN ports, 10GbE, 5 Ethernet ports, 9–36 V input |
For a mining haul truck — where dust, vibration, and wide ambient swings matter — the RTSO-2006 is the strongest match: it carries the same 12 GMSL inputs as the RTSO-2001 but is rated -40 °C to 85 °C. realtimesa... +4realtimesai.com ↗“rated -40C to 85C”realtimesai.com ↗“gmsl_camera_inputs=12”leopardimaging.com ↗“gmsl_camera_inputs=12”leopardimaging.com ↗“thermal.max_operating_temp_c=60”leopardimaging.com ↗“min_operating_temp_c=-20”
Second tier (8 GMSL inputs)
| Product | GMSL inputs | Operating temp | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| RTSO-2005 (Realtimes) | 8 | -40 °C to 85 °C | Fan/Fanless, 11–19 V, smallest/lightest (105 × 105 mm, 119 g) |
| RTSO-2002 (Realtimes) | 8 | -20 °C to 80 °C | 5 Ethernet ports, Fan/Fanless, 9–36 V |
| ASR-A701 (Advantech) | 8 | -10 °C to 60 °C | 4 Ethernet ports, 16-bit DIO, 20–28 V; GMSL is 8-channel on AGX variants |
| LI-AGO-CB-GMSL2 (Leopard Imaging) | 8 | Not listed in the catalog | Up to 8 FAKRA cameras via 2× MAX96712, 12–19 V |

Things to verify before committing
- Temperature conditioning: The ASR-A701's range holds only under stated conditions ("requires airflow, depends on power mode, depends on SKU or module") — a concern for a sealed mining cab enclosure. advantech...advantech.com ↗“Requires airflow, Depends on power mode, Depends on SKU or module”
- GMSL channel count on ASR-A701: the 8-channel GMSL applies to AGX variants specifically; an NX configuration gives 4 channels. advantech...advantech.com ↗“optional four-channel NX or eight-channel AGX GMSL”
- What I could not determine: I have no catalog data on vibration/shock ratings (e.g., MIL-STD or mining-specific certification) for any of these boards, nor IP/dust-ingress ratings — for a haul-truck deployment you'd want to confirm those against each vendor's datasheet directly.
For a surround-view rig of 6–8 cameras around a haul truck, both the RTSO-2006 (12 inputs) and RTSO-2005 (8 inputs, -40 to 85 °C) give you the environmental headroom; the RTSO-2006 additionally leaves channels spare for front-facing high-res or thermal add-ons later.
