GS130W module
Development board (supported board from Compatible Boards)
FFC/FPC cables x2 (22-pin, 0.5 mm pitch, same-side contacts)

Installation and Connection

Connect FFC/FPC Cables to the GS130W Module

Note

• Power off the development board before connecting FFC/FPC cables to avoid device damage caused by electrical arcing or misaligned contacts.
• FFC/FPC cables are flexible; do not pull them forcefully.
• The main PCB of the GS130W module is exposed. Avoid dropping metal objects onto it during installation and use to prevent short circuits.

1. Open the MIPI Camera connector latch on the GS130W module.
2. Insert one end of the FFC/FPC cable horizontally into the MIPI Camera connector with the contacts facing away from the PCB, then press the latch closed.
3. Repeat for the second FFC/FPC cable to complete the connection between the FFC/FPC cables and the GS130W module MIPI Camera interfaces.

Note

The FFC/FPC cable insertion direction for the GS130W module is opposite to that of the GS130WI module. Take care to distinguish them and avoid reverse connection.

Connect FFC/FPC Cables to the Development Board

RDK X5

1. Open the MIPI Camera connector latch on the RDK X5.
2. Insert the other end of the FFC/FPC cable vertically into the MIPI Camera connector with the contacts facing toward the Ethernet port, then press the connector latch closed.
3. Repeat for the second FFC/FPC cable to complete the connection between the FFC/FPC cables and the RDK X5 MIPI Camera interfaces.

After installation, the overall connection of the GS130W module, RDK X5, and FFC/FPC cables is shown below.

RDK X5 Module

1. Open the MIPI Camera connector latch on the RDK X5 Module carrier board;
2. Insert the other end of the FFC/FPC cable horizontally into the MIPI connector with the contacts facing toward the PCB, then press the connector latch closed;
3. Repeat for the second FFC/FPC cable to complete the connection between the FFC/FPC cables and the RDK X5 Module carrier board MIPI Camera interfaces.

After installation, the overall connection of the GS130W module, RDK X5 Module, and FFC/FPC cables is shown below.

RDK S100/S100P

1. Open the MIPI Camera connector latch on the RDK S100 with the Camera expansion board installed;
2. Insert the other end of the FFC/FPC cable horizontally into the MIPI Camera connector with the contacts facing toward the PCB, then press the connector latch closed;
3. Repeat for the second FFC/FPC cable to complete the connection between the FFC/FPC cables and the RDK S100 MIPI Camera interfaces.

After installation, the overall connection of the GS130W module, RDK S100, and FFC/FPC cables is shown below.
